American woke Navy can’t seem to keep billion dollar warships and subs from crashing. I am not sure we could win a conventional war in the Pacific.
Fighting the last war. A conventional war with China is impossible. They could colonize Africa and wouldn’t miss the population.
If we wanted to keep China in check, the best way would be to bring India into NATO. We would shift manufacturing to India. India has a lot of great accomplishments but also still has lots of needs.
