Comment was in regards to the potential of Warhawks forcing a confrontation in the Philippines in order to bring the US into direct conflict with the PRC.

So THAT'S how they want to trigger our engagement with China...through the Phillipines. Might be how we get pushed into war with the PRC prior to their invasion of Taiwan.

Gotta hand it to China on this one. That's almost a 'miraculous-level' achievement.

I could see Operation Praying Mantis Part Duex!

I don't think Biden et al. are that dumb. If they leave Taiwan hanging in the breeze...the USA's role as a world power comes crashing down. It'll take time, but it'll happen. Between what China will do to squeeze us, and every other power looking at USA like it's a leper colony. We'd be done...

Yeah, we need rebuild our naval industrial capacity.

At least until all the bubbles start rising to the surface.

Not true. Option A: Chinese fishermen actions can be easily interpreted and piratical in nature. Option B: On the flip side of that same coin, they can be seen as state sponsored piracy, thus an Act of War.

I'm wondering if China will push too far and just get their ships sunk or seized.

One technique to attempt to oversaturate the target on the cheap.

Stealth, Deception, PenAids (EW), and then simple OverSaturation will be the ways to get through.

At that point, stealth is the only viable answer to defeat that sort of ABM-tech.

Completely agree with this statement. I've been in a place or two like that as well.

Israel has been playing that game for decades. It ain't new. What will be interesting to see is WHEN they get to the point that they view CHINA as more supportive of Israel's enemies than of Israel.

Another step to try and control the island chain that restricts Chinese naval power.

Sure they do. Not much more than that likely, but they could overwhelm both Japan and China with the few hundred nukes they have. Maybe not enough for total saturation, but they could potentially target the strategic necessities. As for suicide...that depends on if THEY (and by "THEY" I...

because the CCP house of cards is starting to fall. Energy shortages = blackouts across 2/3 of China Covid shut down a lot of their production = less money to prop up the system CCP Real Estate companies are tanked to the tune of over $350BILLION in bad debt they can't pay = this will lead to a...

Which likely means the Chinese launch against India at the same time they strike at Japan.

Just heard today that it was actually 25 miles off target. Don't know how true that is, and I am still trying to verify the source.

They've successfully completed tests against drones, and, in one case, accidentally shot down one of their own drones after the Iron Dome controllers misidentified it as a hostile aircraft during a rocket attack by Hezbollah.
