From now on you must view all of their words and actions through the lens of a fascist dictatorship. This is almost certainly propaganda intended to increase fear of Chinese supremacy and using that fear as an excuse to invade Panama.
I hard doubt the US doesn’t have classified hypersonic missile tech, and even if they don’t, this admin won’t stop maintaining, building, or deploying these “vulnerable” billion dollar aircraft carriers. Everything conservatives and DOGE cut is everything that benefits the working class, and increases their quality of life and economic mobility. They never cut anything that enables their authoritarian capabilities.
Don’t forget how they were able to slap a basically poor-only tax with their tariff bullshit.
Propaganda can be true sometimes. That the cutting edge of missile tech has been well ahead of the cutting edge of missile defense has been an open secret for at least a decade. It might not be as fast as twenty minutes, but the truth is there is nothing that anybody can do about the most advanced missiles being made today apart from hoping that they miss. The problem with carriers is that they are big, slow targets. Every carrier has this problem, not just the US fleet.
Weren’t there some wargames a few decades ago where some group playing the “terrorists” sank a US carrier with nothing but a few speedboats and some RPGs or something similar? I am thinking of the one where they “rolled back” the wargame. It has been quite a while since I read that so I don’t remember all the details.
You are thinking of this:
I remember reading that as well, but I recall CWIS wasn’t turned on for some reason.
there is nothing that anybody can do about the most advanced missiles being made today apart from hoping that they miss
You can help them miss. If they’re using GPS navigation, jamming works. It then reverts to inertial navigation though, so the longer you jam - the bigger the error.
Or you could try shooting it down, I doubt they can even dodge a head-on intercept without losing a load of energy.
edit: btw the problem you’re describing is why cbg is a thing
How the hell would this guy know? He’s not qualified to run a game of RISK much less comment on anything that really involves defense
Why would they bother when Trump is going to sink the whole country?
Never interrupt the enemy when he is making a mistake.
and that is putins plan essentially, needs USA out of the way so russia can reclaim former soviet states.
Hegseth himself is a bigger threat to the US than China will ever be.
This guy can’t even name a single country in ASEAN but is giving advice on china, a neighbour of ASEAN. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/commentary/trump-defence-secretary-pete-hegseth-cannot-name-asean-country-4862576
Russia can wipe out US in 15mins using all their nukes in a suicide attack. worry about Russia first. Defeat russia in Ukraine first, russia is much weaker than china in GDP, show that you can kick russia out of Ukraine first.
“Russian army underwhelmingly unprepared and weak according to Chinese POW” lol
You are right, Ukraine would have gotten back their territories if russia were unprepared and weak. This POW will pay for insulting Ukraine army as being weaker than russia weak useless army.
We need to stop all this complacency, underestimation about Russia army. Never underestimate your enemy, no mater how weak they are.
I notice some pro-russian people are spreading russia propaganda about russia being weakling victim, can’t invade over 3 years, using bicycles (Japan used bicycles to invade SEA, don’t underestimate bicycles), motorbikes, WW2 gear, unprepared and will never invade or able to do any harm, they do this to reduce guard among the population. So people will look away.
That Ukraine that has only been a nation for 12 years or so? Wow I wonder how well the 140 years of imperialism develops soldiers and war techniques.
Him not being able to name a single ASEAN country should have instantly destroyed his career. It’s literally in the name so it just means he doesn’t even know what it is and then that absolute moron continued to name all other neighboring countries that are not part of ASEAN lmao.
America will never recover from this. It secured its image as a disgruntled band of intellectual retards for the next several decades at least.
Hypersonic missiles could destroy every major city in the US in 20 minutes. Just have to put a nuclear warhead in them. The US is deploying hypersonic missiles too. This doesn’t change anything except that in the case of Armageddon we will have half as much time to find someone to bang before we die.
I think the correct question here is:
“Why? They couldn’t before you were in charge.”
Biden didn’t leave the keys to the anti sink plugs I guess.
Thanks Obama
Why does this feel like they want to throw even more money at the military industrial complex?
Exactly - they can’t use Russia’s military strength as the boogie-man any longer.
It’s fine. They’ll just find more fraud waste and abuse
“We need to enslave and control the population to survive against a perceived or projected foreign enemy.” Translation from Trump cabinet language to English.
China can kill us. We need more money for war. (Has the biggest and most expensive military in the world) SMH
I’ve heard bullshit before. This sounds exactly like that
This article’s been here for almost an hour, are the aircraft carriers still okay?
Someone should tell interestingengineering.com who Pete Hegseth is because obviously they haven’t been paying attention for the last few months.
Well, since it is basic military doctrine that you should never field a unit that you can’t afford to lose, and the billions in $ losses and thousands of sailor lives means we can’t afford to lose a carrier, this suggests that carriers are now obsolete and should be retired.
Lol press x to doubt
