I hope they build their missiles with the same proficiency that they use on the parts my employer purchases from them. Based on the failure rate of some of those parts maybe we could buy some time.

Then again, perhaps, like fruit and vegetable caners who buy only the best for their canned produce, leaving the seconds to go to grocery stores ... so your parts are the seconds and their missiles have the best parts ... never sell your enemies short ...

SOLUTION is Robot self driving Army of cheap tacticle ships so that the enemy cannot approach.

Mass multiple incoming requires mass cheap manless assault ships.

Optical lasers is the future because light is QUICK.

But the Democrats will just sell military secrets to the enemy for cheap.

As I recall, before Gulf War I, a lot of experts explained how US forces were at a huge disadvantage because Iraqi artillery outranged ours.

It’s called the Trident D5, and it’s been in service for over 30 years.

Well, yes.

Moral: never be complacent when going to war; everything changes when contact made.

China is not iraq. urging complacence is foolhardy. ‘Experts’ are frequently wrong, but there is no way to test their accuracy until after the fact.
