David Axe, National Interest: The 1 Reason Navy Aircraft Carriers Could Lose a Battle to Russia or China

If the Navy doesn't enhance its carrier wings, it risks the wings -- and, by extension, the carriers -- losing relevance, the study warned. "If the Navy is unable to trans­form its CVWs, Navy leaders should reconsider whether to continue investing in carrier aviation or shift the fleet’s resources to more relevant capabilities."

The U.S. Navy's carrier air wings lack the range to win in battle with Chinese and Russian forces, according to one new study.

The Navy's nine front-line wings "lack the range, endurance, survivability and specialization to carry out the operational concepts needed to defeat great-power militaries," the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments warned in its December 2018 report "Regaining the High Ground at Sea."

China and Russia won't defeat America.

Chet Truckbuckle is the real reason why America is in terminal decline. He snorts oxy all day buys beer with his food stamps. His lack of moral rectitude, all the poors lack of moral rectitude, is the real reason for the USA's fall.

If the poors, darks, and gays just put their nose to the grindstone, full MAGA will be achieved.

BTW, I'm white, rich, weigh 476 pounds and collect SS and my cop pension. Do any of you have a good recipe for buttered bacon spaghetti?

If you are going to use slang try to use it like a native speaker. It is darkey not darks. I have never heard the term IRL myself, but from news reports 2 or 3 times in the last 3 decades. Very few if any people use that term. If you hear it, it is remarkable and you should note it in your diary as it is a once in a lifetime event.

On to logic. Are you reasoning that LGBT won't pay taxes, because they would rather be ruled by Russian and China and face reparative therapy?

You are a loon.

BTW if your pension is high enough, you do not get SS.

next time try trolling with a little more intelligence. In your case up your game 400% and shoot for an IQ of 5.
