How good is the T-55 compared to modern American tanks?

The war with China is not going to be fought on the ground.

Untill they invade Europe.

There's this thing called "Asia" in the way, I'm afraid.  Its rather a big landmass, you might've heard of it? 

Oh yeah. It is also called "China's sphere of influence".

As I said, while China expands its control of continental Asia, whether directly or not, we will do nothing.
When they and/or their proxies invade Europe, then the shooting war starts.

Oh I doubt they'll come from Space.

At the height of the Empire, the romans laughed at the barbarians hordes.


I doubt the Romans ever laughed at the military prowes of the barbarians, the contrary seems more likely. There's a reason why Caesar calls the Belgae the bravest/fiercest of all Gauls. Not because they were superhuman, but because they were the most barbaric of the Gauls.

It also looks better if you play up the strength of an enemy you've conquered. "Yeah, they were tough, and gave a good fight, but proved no match for us."
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
