Three Carrier Battlegroups in the strait: what's China going to do? Answer: wait for a Democrat/RINO President.

[Jeff Head]

The three groups would not enter the straits once war broke out. They wopuld sit to the east of Taiwan, using the island as a buffer and then launch strikes from there against Chinese ships, air force, and other military installations all along CHina's coasts.

To send them into those straits in a war time scenario would be to invite disaster.

...but our subs (ADCAP LAs, a SeaWolf or two, and a couple of Virginia's)...now THAT is another matter. A force of 8-12 of them could start from the north and run through there like a Tsunami tidal wave.
