Thinking differently here (cos I’m a Mac person with better grammar than Steve)....when that alert went out today, didn’t it in effect ping us all?
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).
