We’re not the pushover it thinks, but who knows what type
of surprise attack they have planned.

Their people are everywhere in our nation.

Exactly! China has 360,000+ Chinese Nationals here in all states of the union and all obligated to serve the CCP. It’s obvious our leaders are dumber than rocks.

2ND CARRIER!!!!!
Opening lines:
“It is the second Chinese aircraft carrier to enter service after the Liaoning, which was originally purchased as a hulk from Ukraine and entirely refurbished. The Shandong’s commissioning last year by Chinese President Xi Jinping underscored “

Its a copy of the first, Liaoning, built in the Ukraine for the Soviet Union, sold to the Chinese as a floating casino. These have very limited usefulness - local coastal support ships, intimidation of smaller nations, etc. Not Blue Water ships.

Its the other 4 that are worrisome because they are flat tops - giving the Chinese normal carrier ops capability. One are more are nuclear powered, are built using CVN Ford tech and since that is an inoperable training ship so are the Chinese ones, until the US fixes its 13 billion dollar mistake (to be repeated 4 more times) and China steals the fixes.

That’s the first time I’ve heard that explanation, and I believe, completely you are right.

Well I was incorrect, sort of.

I got a tiny bit ahead of things, by saying they currently have three.

They have two, currently.

They are however, I believe working on four more, including a full-bore, full-sized nuclear carrier.

That deserves our FULL attention.

Now. Not later.

Please note post 27.

He said, “one or more” may be nuclear, full sized carriers, and China is producing stealthy fighter jets, already.

Admiral Andrew Cunningham, “ABC” about naval evacuation of Crete.

“It takes the Navy three years to build a ship. It will take three hundred years to build a new tradition. The evacuation will continue.”

I think you are laboring under the impression that the Chinese ships are somehow built better than the rest of the crap they produce. 😆
