Do you really think Obama would attack China if one of our carriers was sunk by a “mystery attack?”
He’d be sad in public and glad in private.
DADT beats military superiority. Just ask the 111th Congress. Rainbow power. </sarcasm>
Meanwhile 0bamao has an important golf game to get to, and his butt boy Gates is cutting our research and development programs.
Not Obama. He would ask for peace talks.
Plus, look at the recent Korean example. The Norks sank a SK corvette with all hands. The ship was recovered with the intact motor/propellers of the torpedo in the hull, showing Nork manufacture. What did SK do? NOTHING. It's easy to call for instant massive retaliation, not so easy if the counter-counter strike might mean all out nuclear war.
Clinton sold it to them long ago. Obama cancelled our missile defense systems. The Democrats want us to be defenseless.
If it happens under Obama’s watch... He’ll give them a big wet kiss.
They need up close laser protection.. for fast flying anything..
So could Rome's navy.
It is too late for our empire. I give it another 10 years max before we have a fascist dictatorship.
This seems like the same problem potentially affecting space craft. At high speeds a micro-meteorite can rip through and damage who knows what. So what’s the problem with firing shells with depleted uranium shot. The shells are detonated in a manner that enables them to intercept any missile no matter how fast. Wouldn’t the damage destroy the aerodynamics of the missile? That coupled with the high speed should cause the missile to self-destruct.
What happened to the Brilliant Pebbles” idea?

Where did you get THAT information?
I'm a former missilier, and the last I heard from by friends still in the business, our ground based ICBMs are still on alert. (Their targeting has been altered a bit, though)
My guess is they are looking for multiple launching platforms and that is the air platform for their Hypersonic Missile. Note, we seen Gear Doors, but no Weapons Bay Doors yet. The Million Dollar question IMHO is where is it and how big....
If so the J20 is a get up close and let this missille go without any warning or us being able to retort. Is an updated version of the MIG-25 if you will? A Bomber or launching platform more than a fighter?
Respectfully disagree. Zero would be off apologizing to them for getting our carrier in the way of their peace-loving missile!
The nuclear triad still exists.
How does a cruise missile find its target?
“So what if they do? What’s a gay communist Kenyan gonna do about it?”

Sir, I am flummoxed... nay, flabbergasted, over your comment. You know very well what this third-rate squeaker will do: He will immediately begin His largest Apology Tour yet.
But this Apology Tour will not involve Bowing. Oh no! We, His subjects, will watch His Groveling.
You cannot project air power far from any friendly land bases without air craft carriers. There is no substitute. A 300 kg war will do damage, but will no destroy a carriers. If any one starts throwing around nucs at sea, we will win that battle.
The soviets had these missiles in the 60's, why now are they a big threat?
The Chinese know that.. and they have a two year window..
Something to think about..
In 1945 the Japanese accepted that we could literally blow them off the map. They surrendered. What will we do if we learn China can blow us off the map?
Is this all part of the American socialists’ plan?
