Interesting way to write Chinese economy dies as it no longer trades finished goods for raw materials, food, and medicine. Please recall Russia is currently being fought off with essentially spares. Russian stability has been based on a carefully structured prison house of nations being run by the biggest gang. China has based it on economic prosperity. Crashing Russias raw materials export market was never going to stop them, because someone will always take the deal. But China is much more vulnerable. Military needs just can't take up the slack, or provide the food in short order. Their poor agricultural disease control makes this extra fragile.

Additionally they don't have uncontested control of the SCS like the US has uncontested control of the East Pacific and Atlantic seaboard. The US can rebuild it's conventional navy far out of reach, while China can't prevent attacks from being staged from the whole region, a region it has not made an effort to be a good neighbor in.


The US can commit enough navel and air power to permanently eliminate Chinas navy, take 100% losses, and move enough assets from current active duty to do it twice more. In a more realistic scenario, it's enough to keep the Chinese navy bottled in port and fight it as an air war where both sides lob missiles at each other's planes from standoff range until we figure out how to resolve a nuclear power conflict with no nukes.

The point of this whole exercise was to kneecap the productive economy so that unproductive rent-extracting capital could come in and steal as much as they needed to get their future projected rent income back to where they wanted it. that some banks accidentally got caught in the crossfire was a freak accident

Still feels dumb as hell that the fed doesn’t wait to see the effects of all these rate increases before making the next decision. We’re just now entering into the job loss phase that they’ve been prodding at and it’ll almost certainly be worse than intended bc those assholes kept jacking up rates since the entire economy didn’t transition to loving over workers quickly enough

It is a common thought that in this new modern era that fed rate hike effects are seen with in 3-4 months.

Either everyone is allowed to be delusional or no one is. China can't just press an invade Taiwan button, it takes enough time and prep that everyone is basically fighting with near perfect information all the time. The only x factor is subs and missile stocks and china has not indicated an enormous advantage in either. No one is going to one cool trick their way through this it's going to end up in a stalemate while they fence with air and surface launched cruise missiles and anti aircraft systems.

Their range is less than the range of the aircraft on the carrier. If the US really wants to do a dumb thing like go to war with China, the answer is just to sink every ship that goes into their ports with subs and wait a few months. The infrastructure for moving poo poo into and out of China is pretty much "ports, ports, and ports".

That being said, I have met some breathtakingly stupid naval officers.
