American experts are saying 5 American submarines with Tomahawk missiles can destroy the Chinese Navy. China has no chance. How true is this?

Yes, understood, but we need to start disengaging. Otherwise, once an American service member dies at the hands of the Chinese military were really screwed. Cut off cold turkey, scramble to find new sources, make it again ourselves, while also fighting a war. Plus, the realization that we paid for the Chinese military, do we stop or continue trading with them all way our soldiers die?

How about we stop Chinese commerce


and thereby cut off life saving drugs to the US. Millions of Americans die as a result of such a hasty decision.

General Marshal is long dead. Today it’s commie stooge Milley. Operational security is optional in today’s DoF.

Thanks to Red China’s ownership of Rat Party Headquarters the Chinese navy will be twice as powerful as ours in five years.

Milley is out - the new guys is even worse. He’s likely give targeting data on US assets to them.

No we stop and replace. Do it now. Or are you suggesting we say, ‘Hey, were fighting the Chinese but it is okay to keep buying from them, funding them so they can stay in the fight?’

Most of the root technologies are American, like everything else.
What did Lee IACOCO say to the Japanese auto industry?

There would be a nuclear response, so we would not do this (unless we are the victims of a first strike).

When we built them in San Diego, we made a TASM (Tomahawk Anti-Shipping Missile) variant that used the harpoon seeker. They killed many ships in development and training exercises. The navy retired those.

My understanding is that the navy has a sub launched Harpoon variant now (much shorter range than the TASM had) and a Long Range ASM (LRASM). I don't know what the current navy inventory looks like now that Lockheed Martin Ratheon are making LRASMs.

This is so stupid.

Ships move. Any sign of an attack would certainly result in the CCP navy taking evasive maneuvers. GPS targeting can’t follow a moving target. It would also be the immediate end of Taiwan, the sinking of US naval ships and/or goodbye to Pearl Harbor/Guam/Philippines/Okinawa since I doubt the CCP would just take it. Blood lust war fantasy like this serves nothing but inflate US delusions of military grandeur. The “fully operational NATO death star” known as the Uke army has been decimated by 5% of the russkie military. Think the CCP would do much worse? It ain’t Iraq.

Well while I was watching this today I wondered if our Space Force also has the same type of weapon. Better and cheaper!

RE: the Uke army has been decimated by 5% of the russkie military

According to Wikipedia, Russia has a total 1.15 million active military and 2 million reserve, that’s about 3.15 million men and women. I’ve read reports that there are at least 300,000 Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine.? That’s DOUBLE your estimate.

The estimated Russian military death toll is over 41,000, with over 150,000 wounded. If the Ukes are decimated, when will we see the total military victory for the Russkies ? I’ve been reading the word “soon” since Autumn of last year.
