China’s recent pronouncements, mostly ignored by the MSM, indicate they are actively siding with Russia against the USA
Deep state drones like Sullivan fear China a lot more than they do Russia
I am currently reading a three book history of WWII in the Pacific. It is clear that the only reason the US was able to successfully fight Japan and Germany simultaneously to victory was the fact we had the greatest industrial infrastructure on the planet and it was protected from assault by our enemies by two oceans.
China now has the best manufacturing and integrated supply chains on the planet by far. In addition what manufacturing we have left, and military supplies stockpiled in the US are vulnerable to missile and bomber attack by our potential adversaries. The big question our military leaders and politicians should be evaluating is how the US will supply naval forces around the world and land forces in Europe if we have no access to offshore manufacturing? There are frequent news reports now the Ukraine war has drained our domestic stockpiles and it will take years to replace them.
China today has the capability to take out our carriers in the pacific with non-nuclear weapons. Once the carriers are gone importing goods from Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, and Indian factories will be extremely risky if not impossible given the vulnerability of shipping to Chinese submarines and hypersonic missiles. Soviet subs may have the capability to take out the Atlantic carriers as well conventionally.
Offshoring much of our domestic manufacturing to China and other nations dramatically increased the vulnerability of the US defense capability. It was a self inflicted wound by our multinational corporations, diplomates in the State Department, and the majority of politicians in both political parties. The price of gutting US manufacturing may be our nation effectively cannot fight a large scale conventional war against a China/Russian/Iran alliance because we cannot resupply troops and naval ships from the homeland. Does this put the US in a situation where it will have no option other than a nuclear first strike?
