Commodore Stephen Saunders, editor of Jane's Fighting Ships, and a former Royal Navy anti-submarine specialist, said the U.S. had paid relatively little attention to this form of warfare since the end of the Cold War.
He said: "It was certainly a wake-up call for the Americans.
"It would tie in with what we see the Chinese trying to do, which appears to be to deter the Americans from interfering or operating in their backyard, particularly in relation to Taiwan."
Apparently not enough of a wake-up call. We are so screwed...
If this is true that the Chinese shot a ballistic missle 35 miles off our coast then you’ll have reps and senators screaming shortly.
No way any country including ours tolerates that. It’s obviously an act of war. I’m not saying we will go to war but heads will roll and threats of a trade war or maybe more will commence.
