    There have been wargames going back over a decade which highlight how vulnerable current aircraft carriers are to various forms of attack from nations like Iran. I would expect that China would be more than capable of destroying an aircraft carrier, especially if the carrier group wasn’t in the high seas but next to the Chinese coast.

        Well let me know when a boat full of Chinese soldiers makes it to our coast while declaring that as an attack. Tiny drones? No way, never gonna happen. We blew up their weather balloons remember? Balloons.

          Why would China want to invade the US? For its oft delayed Amtrak trains? For its copays and deductibles? For the HFCS that’s in everything? Or for the HOA that will call the police on you if your grass is too long? The fabs are in Taiwan. I can’t think of anything of value the US has that China can’t find better elsewhere even as a consumer economy.
