I’d like to know what our free trade friends are going to say if we lose a few carriers to these subs when China takes on Tiawan. It’s also possible for us to lose about 75% of our populace to nuclear first strike from subs located off our coast. What will the free traders say about something like that, when they were the ones who financed China’s indistrial military complex?
I’ve had military types tell me this type of scenario was impossible. They rode me pretty hard for even suggesting it, saying they were in the know. Okay you ‘in the know people’, care to explain this?
Why would they go to all that expense? All they need to do is put some cruise missiles on a container ship or in that port they run down in the Bahamas (area).
No need to risk a multiple expensive ships (subs) and crews when they can do it with some containers on a few cargo ship crewed by 20 or 30.
Minimal expense, minimal risk, fewer assests. Remember a very, very low % of all cargo containers are ever checked.
