Politico: The Pentagon Is Freaking Out About a Potential War With China
The war began in the early morning hours with a massive bombardment — China’s version of “shock and awe.” Chinese planes and rockets swiftly destroyed most of Taiwan’s navy and air force as the People’s Liberation army and navy mounted a massive amphibious assault across the 100-mile Taiwan Strait. Having taken seriously President Joe Biden’s pledge to defend the island, Beijing also struck pre-emptively at U.S. and allied air bases and ships in the Indo-Pacific. The U.S. managed to even the odds for a time by deploying more sophisticated submarines as well as B-21 and B-2 stealth bombers to get inside China’s air defense zones, but Washington ran out of key munitions in a matter of days and saw its network access severed. The United States and its main ally, Japan, lost thousands of servicemembers, dozens of ships, and hundreds of aircraft. Taiwan’s economy was devastated. And as a protracted siege ensued, the U.S. was much slower to rebuild, taking years to replace ships as it reckoned with how shriveled its industrial base had become compared to China’s.

WNU Editor: Taking a quote from the above Politico article, it is always about the money .... “We could throw a trillion dollars a year at the defense budget now, and we’re not going to get a meaningful increase in traditional military capabilities in the next five years.” (Christian Brose, chief strategy officer, Anduril Industries).

Swapping basic, proven platforms for fewer ill-conceived but more expensive high-tech toys, not to mention ignoring basic infrastructure maintenance for years will tend to do that. Brilliant.
yeah these guys are super geeks--not.
prettyboys and ankle grabbers
I have realized since Bush the idiot launched the War on Terror that China was intending on defeating the US in war so why did our presidents, defense secretaries, generals and congress not take action? This is treason or dereliction of oath of office. Hanging is the proper punishment.
take action? what the fuck does that mean? invade China? you go and show us how to do it
^ no, uh, you know, take action in terms of, you know, PREPARING?
America spends more in arming and replacing arms,yearly, then China, Russia, France, Gt Britain, and a few other nations EVERY YEAR!
ps: that is why you have a lousy health system, your education going down, infrastructure sucks, and the big measure: life expectancy dropping for the past few years.
fight china. Its in close waters? You will lose
Turns out the "secret" chinese base in cuba really exists because someone in the biden admin ratted them out. It's been there since before 2019.
Really how sure?
You are too stupid to figure it out? That's your problem
