U.S. Navy Not Fit For War

[Orangeburst]

People would be surprised at how agile a carrier is.

yea, I should temper my original comments as I didnt see evasive manuever

Oops! That's sure to ruin somebody's career trajectory.

I'm slowly changing my tune on that. Ideally we'd open up build contracts to domestic non-union shipyards first before having them built overseas.

Ideally we would open up competition to both.

If non-union domestics can build them - great.
If foreign shipyards can build them - great.

We need competent, steady production.

I am convinced we are an inept nation.

I doubt we're more inept than others. We just have more opportunities for mistakes.

I'm surprised it actually doesn't happen more often.

Some interesting stuff here!

Some interesting stuff here!

Sobering stuff in there about how the ChiComs have infected all our critical infrastructure with malicious code and malware. Not to mention the military stuff. Fortunately an attack on the power grid, banking, etc here on the homefront will not affect our ability to launch ICBMs, and more importantly will not affect our attack subs ability to quick strike and level every major city in mainland china. Guess we will find out if they are suicidal. If they want tiny little Taiwan so desperately that they are willing to launch a large scale attack on the mainland US, then the Commies are suicidal. No way we allow them to knock out the electrical grid, power stations, banking etc without all out nuclear war. It will cripple our nation and cause widespread panic and destruction thats never been seen before in our homeland. We have no choice at that point but to nuke them. Its that or surrender. We arent going to surrender. Clearly we have security issues here that need to be addressed...specifically our vulnerability to EMP attack and cyber attack. I dont think the Chicoms are stupid enough to guarantee the death of probably half the world's population and nuclear winter though...unless they were in an incredibly desperate situation. Regardless, we need to be intentional in seeking peace through strength, communication, and diplomacy. We have much more in common with the people of China than differences. Only their government sees us as their enemy.
