This is an Armageddon scenario that I pray never materializes, but in my heart I realize is ultimately inevitable.
No, that’s reality China fully understands if were ever lucky enough to sink a U.S. aircraft carrier. And the same reason why they’ll likely never try it.
Death is inevitable.
Most other things aren’t, including nuclear war and/or sinking of US aircraft carriers.
Your “indefeatable” characterization of a weapons system shows that either your understanding of weapons systems is flawed, you have a defeatist mindset, or you have an emotional stake on the “other” side.
Not saying this in a derogatory sense towards you, I have never read your posts on FR (just never came across them) so I don’t know your style.
But there is no such thing as an “indefeatable” weapon.
Any weapon may be countered, even if a weapon system achieves initial successes. Man began using their fists until other men countered them with clubs, which were countered by shields and spears, etc.
That is, always has been, and always will be the nature of war.
