Know your enemy!
“The most dangerous adversary is the one you underestimate.” ― Ruta Sepetys, The Fountains of Silence
China passed the U.S. during the Obama years.
A bigger target to sink, not harder.
CHINESE! DUST! INTERNET SURVEY!
Oh the breathlessness of it all.
The best part, “...enough to kill any carrier..”
Yawn. Now days, it only takes one properly loaded hypersonic missile to kill a carrier.
Considering that Democrats want to hobble the US with global warming constraints, while excepting the Chinese, no surprise they have extra money for research and development of such things as this ship.

Coming from complete opposites of the economic sprectrum, the US and China are actually moving towards similar fascist-style economic systems, - heavy on central planning and uniparty politics, with a large amount of wealth inequality from insider dealing and corrupt crony-capitalism.
Of course, China has been following versions of the same model for 3000 years, so they’ll come out of better than the US will.
How do you say ‘69’ in Chinese?

As commercial real estate tanks, China will be snapping up bargains.

They have money. We’re broke.
Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6 billion to purchase AMC entertainment - one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States.
Now that Chinese company controls more movie ticket sales than anyone else in the world. But China is not just relying on acquisitions to expand its economic power. “Economic beachheads” are being established all over America. For example, Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc. recently broke ground on a $100 million plant in Thomasville, Alabama. Many of the residents of Thomasville, Alabama will be glad to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on communist China.
And guess where else Chinese companies are putting down roots. Detroit. Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers.
If you recently purchased an “American-made” vehicle, there is a really good chance that it has a number of Chinese parts in it. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers operating in the United States.
China seems particularly interested in acquiring energy resources in the United States. For example, China is actually mining for coal in the mountains of Tennessee. Guizhou Gochujang Energy Holdings Group spent $616 million dollars to acquire Triple H Coal Co. in Jacksboro, Tennessee. At the time, that acquisition really didn’t make much news, but now a group of conservatives in Tennessee is trying to stop the Chinese from blowing up their mountains and taking their coal.
And pretty soon China may want to build entire cities in the United States just like they have been doing in other countries. Right now China is actually building a city larger than Manhattan just outside Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
Are you starting to get the picture? China is on the rise. If you doubt this, just read the following:
# When you total up all imports and exports, China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet.
# Overall, the U.S. has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 2.3 trillion dollars.
# China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet.
# China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.
# China now produces more than twice as many automobiles as the United States does.
# After being bailed out by US. taxpayers, GM is involved in 11 joint ventures with Chinese companies.
# China is the number one gold producer in the world.
# The uniforms for the U.S. Olympic team were made in China.
# 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China.
# The new World Trade Center tower in New York is going to include glass imported from China.
# China now consumes more energy than does the United States.
# China is now in aggregate the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world.
# China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.
# China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.
# China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much steel as the United States does.
# China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements.
# China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system.
# In published scientific research articles China is expected to become number one in the world very shortly.
Of course they are leaving us in the dust. It’s pretty hard to compete with a country that is currently ruling every single last department and branch in our government including Congress and the White house. Remember the olden days when treason use to be enforced?
Can they at least spell “achievements?”
My enemies are in the US, not China.
The US has been *operating* aircraft carriers for over 100 years now. In that time we have learned some important lessons.
1) The ship doesn’t matter if you don’t have a capable and experienced crew to operate it.
2) The stabilizers are as vital as are the engines. One mistake and your ship flounders.
3) Damage control is as complicated and practiced as a symphony.
4) Flying things must be intercepted from hundreds of nautical miles out and that interception doesn’t stop as they get closer. Layered defense.
5) Without a capable fleet group, aircraft carriers are just a sitting duck.
China could sail their navy right into the Port of Seattle and Biden would do nothing.
Lord in Heaven, I love You, but am so depressed.
Another example of why we’re so screwed because the U.S. has let China take over our supply structure, especially for technology which is all now made in China:
