Does China Really Need Aircraft Carriers?
National Security Journal ^ | 10/15/2024 | Brent Eastwood

Posted on 10/15/2024 8:30:56 AM PDT by whyilovetexas111

One question that few are asking about the potential of war between the United States and China is this: Does the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) even need aircraft carriers to win the fight?

How many men did we have in the military under Reagan, when we were NOT running around the world starting wars?

How many men do we have in our military under Biden, your hero, now that we ARE running around the world starting wars?

Likewise how many ships in our navy, then and now?

Likewise what was the relative percentage of GNP spent on the military, then and now?

Likewise how many peer-level adversaries did we have then versus now (hint: 1 then, 2 now)?

This stuff is basic math, but for you liberal arts majors, I guess it is just TOO DAMN DIFFICULT. We get it, YOU HATE TRUMP, since he will immediately end the Ukraine War. Fine, and have fun at DNC Headquarters tomorrow, since you OBVIOUSLY want Harris to win.

You guys SICKEN ME with your Never Trumper crap.

It would be a sitting duck... Taiwan has ICBMs that can hit most of the large cities in China.

Bloody neocons are always calling anyone who does not support the Forever War from 1991 to 2024, 33 years of death and slaughter. You must love death and are jonesing for nuclear war. Your comments are idiotic and replying to you is a waste of time, it is like talking to a rock.

No. Calling you out for consistently supporting and propagandizing for our enemies.

“ Take a break from eating potatoes and molesting sheep and educated yourself.”

You’re also quite insane.

“Right now, the limitation would be the data connection “

Data connections are faster than human reactions.
