Now it seems that the PLAAF has taken it a bit further, as it conducted “simulated missile attacks” on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) last month. According to The Aviationist, as many as 28 aircraft including as many as eight H-6 bombers “intruded” into Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) between Jan. 23 and 24 – just three days after President Joe Biden took officer.

“China Is Training To Sink U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers”

Hmmmm. Good thing that title has “Navy” in it. If it just said “U.S. Aircraft Carriers” I might have thought they were Army or Air Force Aircraft carriers or may U.S. Department of Agriculture Aircraft Carriers.

"Hey China...Three Gorges goes if you sink a carrier."

I guarantee there were giggles in the Pentagon when that thing was finally full. I bet there are plans in place to take out about 4 of the dams upstream as well.

Project Thor with the idea of kinetic weapons would have been the perfect choice for that job, too bad we never put those 1' diameter 20' long tungsten poles up there. Huh, perhaps we just ask Elon to do it, seems he would find a way if challenged on the weight issues.

It’s the obvious move.

It’s what I would do. There is no obvious and proportionate US response.
