“Putin and Xi laughing.”
At what? Putin’s sole aircraft carrier is a rusting hulk alongside in Murmansk and after two serious fires it’s unlikely to ever sail again.
China’s aircraft carriers can’t sustain operations, they haven’t figured out arresting gear, and their drive systems are so bad one of their carriers will likely be scrapped.
The UK might have two difficult carriers but those two carriers have logged more time underway than all Chinese and Russian carriers have logged in this decade.
Taiwan makes a pretty good carrier anchored just off the mainland.
