Just saw a report that China is harassing U.S. ships in the South China Sea.

This may be the crisis point, as POTUS will not tolerate it.

China has developed weapons to sink U.S. Aircraft carriers, which is a major strategic challenge.

Moreover, the control of the South China Sea is a foundation of U.S. control of the world’s oceans, commerce, oil flows etc. This is probably more important than any other strategic consideration in the world.

Incidentally, Space Force is part of it. My favorite military writer characterizes Space operations as NAVAL operations (as opposed to Air Force).

China has developed weapons that they hope can sink U.S. Aircraft carriers.

Besides, (see section) Carriers do not operate alone.

Ya know, the word was out that the DS controlled N.Korea. Wonder whether they have a hand in the Chinese? I’d bet on it.

China’s behavior very well may be signs of DS PANIC. Timing just seems so coincidental.

Just a thought.

Some claim there is a Naval such force and an Air Force such force. There’s also claims that the Air Force version is allied with . . . traitorous globalists etc. and the Navy force is still patriotic to the Constitution etc. Curious claims.
