The defender has to be ready to repel attacks at any time, and so has to spend on their military every year.
The aggressor can afford to focus on expanding industrial capacity, and defer military spending until shortly before attacking.
China is getting ready to make a move, probably shortly after a Democrat is elected president.

Watch a show this weekend about the Bismarck and how it sank the Hood in just a few minutes. 1400 souls lost. A 2000 pound German round went through the gunpowder magazine! Good night Irene!!

One of their head guys said straight up years back that China needs a war to help with the removal of 20 million young men who have no prospect of a girlfriend or wife because of the one child policy, they need to thin the herd. Those weren’t his exact words obviously, but that was the message.

"An amphibious assume a la WW2 would not work these days. Correct me if i’m wrong." You are correct about a D-Day scale amphibious assault. With modern tech, the necessary build up would be obvious. Yet the threat of an invasion could accomplish strategic concessions without a launch. Reference Sun Tzu.

Ha! With Democrats in the WH, China doesn’t need to ‘make a move’.
They just need to make a deal!!

It takes a LOT of time, training and myriad errors to learn to properly operate a big amphib.
With a flat bottom, air ops and unrep are particularly challenging.

What a waste of money. All they have to do is use these and they can get as close as they want to our Navy ships...
