We all know how that story ended.
China is precisely following the path of Japan during the 1930’s.
We would be fighting on the other side of Earth.
The Chinese?
At least in the beginning, they would be fighting more or less in their own backyard.
True - BUT, Japan’s whole economy was not 100% dependent on us like China is today.
For China to pull a “Pearl Harbor” sneak attack on 2 of our carries is certainly suicidal for two reasons: our counter-attack would destroy China and their economy would totally collapse, then their people would rebel and the Commies would lose control.
They are far too smart to commit suicide.

We all know how that story ended.
Yeah, same playbook, different similar-looking actor.
