I figured out a strategy by which standard carrier groups with minor <br>
modifications could hold out against hypersonic missiles from the <br>
Chinese mainland while dominating the strait of Taiwan. If any of the <br>
Navy brass figure it out also, then we should be fine, so long as our <br>
objectives were sufficiently limited (to defending Taiwan from troop <br>
carriers).<br>
<br>
But we absolutely must fulfill our commitment to Taiwan and FUCK <br>
trying to appease China. Remember everybody thought Hitler would be <br>
satisfied with Poland. Also try to imagine yourself to be an Asian for <br>
minute:<br>
<br>
If we do not honor our treaty with Taiwan, what makes you think China <br>
will harbor any delusion that we would honor our financial debt to <br>
them? If we do not honor our treaty with Taiwan, China would lose all <br>
respect for us. And they would certainly not stop at Taiwan. Not when <br>
when South Korea, Japan, Hawaii, and California are on the menu.<br>
