Solomon touches on air, and naval warefare here, which makes this appropriate for this board.
A2A J-20 versus the F-35 and Guam being destroyed easily.
I really don’t like this story TBH. It assumes lot.
1. It assumes an ultra liberal leaning potus
Will be elected. Amercans even left leaning Americans, are growing tired of the left.
2. It assumes that the U.S. has zero intel on the massive build up of fighters and ships in theater. Furthermore the Chinese are easily bought and bribed with limited discipline. If our intel is this bad, we have deeper issues
3. Deployment of a MEU opposite a Chinese MEU with no surface element
4. No massive retaliation in route from Conus despite a meu being sunk.
5. Assumptions about the F-35
6. The 7th fleet is not even mentioned.
