This. We own the seas. Nobody can field a force against our carrier fleets and subs. We can force project whole airwings from the sea - and China has a large coastline. We also have Japan as a staging point, and Hawaii.
The only thing China has is warm bodies - and they're not terribly effective when they're standing on the other side of the Pacific.
Plus, what if we just “Rod from God” Beijing and then be like “a magnitude 8 earthquake hit Beijing this morning. It’s unclear if dear leader Xi survived”....
Sooooooo many Americans would be like “those pesky earthquakes!!”
Honestly fuck China. The people there have voted for fascist and communist parties for several generations. Their ideology and idealism is all that is wrong with a free and fair world. They have made their bed. They should have to lie in it.
Maybe this sounds close-minded and judgmental, but Jesus-fucking-Christ. Why should they live in their relative comfort when they voted for the very regime responsible for destroying ours?
You don’t get to do that and come out the other side unscathed.
