You are saying in the first hour of WWIII, Russia would kill 37,500 US sailors and Marines? (There are roughly 7,500 personnel in each carrier group).
Japan thought the USA would be demoralized and not fight if they took out the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor. The opposite was true. They kicked a hornet’s nest.
If the Russians were able to pull this off, I don’t care how woke half the country is, the other half would rise up and not stop until Russia was totally defeated.
I’m saying exactly that. Do you doubt that a Russian attack sub is tailing every carrier? There is nothing in Ukraine or Israel capable of stopping ANY of Russia’s hypersonics. They have not yet. Each of those subs carry at least 32 hypersonics that can be launched in seconds. When WWIII comes, this is an early, non nuclear, potential game changer. If the Russians are escalated into taking this step, the ball would then be in DC’s court, go nuclear and see 250 million Americans killed or walk away from Project Ukraine. BTW, in 1941 the Japanese did not have 6000 nukes.
I say to you again, Alas Babylon!
