If it gets bad enough for the Chinese people to turn on their government the ChiCom government will start a war.
I would HATE to have been a translator on that call, trying to make Biden seem coherent while also trying to translate the wordingThe President's call with the Chinese president has conclusded and media is waiting for a print out. Chinese state media reporting that Biden wanted clearity on Ukraine. Chinese told him the conflict is not good for anyone, and is something China does not want to see.
This is good to see. Would be very advantageous against a near-peer adversary like China in the Pacific.
They’ve been talking about this for a long time -
Marines To Test Lightning Carrier Concept With 20 F-35Bs Aboard USS Tripoli This April
Basic idea is strip out the Marines and landing craft, fill it with F-35’s and support. You’ve got a small aircraft carrier on par with most of what the other carrier powers field.
Could potentially double our carrier footprint.
Yes, that’s correct.If I am not mistaken, USS Tripoli and America omitted a well deck and were designed just for aerial assault.
