Is The U.S. Equipped To Resupply Forces In A Great-Power Conflict?

Defense News: The U.S. is wholly unequipped to resupply forces in a great-power conflict 

The current American consumer goods crisis presages the effects of a militarized Sino-American confrontation. 

Indeed, confrontation is increasingly imaginable, as China’s recent 150-aircraft violation of Taiwanese airspace indicates. A cross-strait conflict necessarily would involve the U.S. and its Pacific allies, and potentially regional rivals, including Vietnam and India. Given the sheer volume of global trade that transits the Indo-Pacific, a conflict would trigger a global depression unlikely to end until a systemic political realignment, much like the Great Depression of the 1930s.

WNU Editor: This is a no brainer. You cannot fight a great-power war with only a few hundred resupply ships.

The USN may not be able to fight a war with China, but at least they are doing positive things for America:
1) rooting out disloyal conservatives
2) raising the LGBT Rainbow banner 3) preparing to dishonorably discharge those not taking the experimental Covid 19 vaccine,
4) Confronting White Rage
5) promoting women to command positions (despite their competence and abilities)
6) Teaching Critical Race Theory at the Annapolis Naval Academy
7) Cozying up with China and the Democrap Party.

Who wants to fight a war anyway? Wars are bad! USN will find a safe space to exist and function as a progressive entity.

The ole "you do not want to lose your precious son gambit".

At some point your son produces his own bambinos and should be willing to fight for them.

If some soy guy has not produced babies by 35,and does not want to go, well FUCK him.

Sons and fathers should be willing to go to protect grandsons and granddaughters.

CCP bitches like 7:54 should really try harder and up their game.
