China Seems Destined to Sink a U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier
The National Interest ^ | 3/5/24 | Brandon Weichart

The United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) seem destined for war. Unless a major diplomatic offramp is taken—soon—the conflict will become a fait accompli.

Currently, the US military’s best strategy for fighting China’s military resides in the hands of three branches that would operate seamlessly together: the US Navy, the US Marine Corps, and the US Air Force. These three branches would be the proverbial tip of the spear in any conflict with China.

Specifically, the US Navy’s aircraft carriers would be the most likely forward deployed assets that would be charged with breaking whatever Chinese forces were being arrayed against the US military.

Nuland’s biggest concerns were always with the Russians. Her replacement is the big China hawk. The change is probably a harbinger of us skedaddling out of the Uke catastrophe and staggering into the China catastrophe. Our SOP, the last fifty years.

THE CHI COMS ARE ALREADY AT WAR WITH US.

Look up the book Unrestricted Warfare. China will defeat us without firing a shot.

China is behind Fentanyl. The combine the base ingredients in Mexico and own and man the pill presses in Mexico.

They have invaded our universities, manufacturing and government to include our military.

Who makes the 5G/6G cell tower America uses equipment. China !

Did America react to the surveillance balloons ? NOPE !

“Fattah-1 (Persian: موشک هایپرسونیک فتاح) is an Iranian hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and unveiled in 2023. It is Iran’s first hypersonic ballistic missile. Wikipedia
The Kh-47M2 Kinzhal (Russian: Х-47М2 Кинжал, lit. ‘Dagger’; NATO reporting name: AS-24 Killjoy) is a Russian hypersonic air-launched ballistic missile. It has an estimated range of 460–480 km (290–300 mi) and a reported top speed of Mach 10. It can carry either conventional or nuclear warheads and can be launched by Tu-22M3 bombers or MiG-31K interceptors, also can be launched by modified Su-34 after Ukraine war. It is the first hypersonic weapon used. Wikipedia

To match China’s effort, the United States has spent more than $8 billion on offensive hypersonic missile development over the past two years alone. Despite delays and challenges, some of these efforts are making headway. The Army’s Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon, the Air Force’s Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile, and the Navy’s Conventional Prompt Strike and Hypersonic Air-Launched Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare programs COULD all field weapons THIS DECADE. Defense News”

Is what I said, asshole. Your fat mouth is so large it blocks your vision.
