You and I do not share this opinion.

I believe you to be be inflating Chinese capability while underestimating our own.

If China could take Taiwan, they would have already done so.

But they cannot.

I would rather we overestimate them and be more cautious than underestimate them and take unnecessary losses. I value the lives of our military personnel and if they’re sent into a fight, I don’t ever want it to be fair in any sense of the word.

Any fight we send our military into should be an absolutely overwhelming tsunami of coordinated firepower. Our enemies should never have an opening to respond effectively against us. That’s what justifies the amount of spending on our military.
