The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. -- Sun Tzu

In any fight there are winners and losers. If winning without fighting is supreme, then what is losing without fighting? We have been losing without fighting for a long time... time to change that. We need to stand up to China. Maybe not fight, but stop losing.

China's strategy is a long-term (Chinese have always been perfectly willing to wait decades for a desired outcome) reliance on our inaction. They KNEW we wouldn't do shit when they started those islands. They're not stupid. My guess is they stop being an effective fighting force within a week of hostilities opening up. They know it. So, they won't. So Trump won't lead us to war because the Chinese won't start one. But I certainly do hope he parks a DDG in one of those bays, and calls their bluff.

MCPO Roger Collins - ...or maybe a few LCS to meander about those islands (until the LCS breaks down, of course).

But seriously, park a MEB off of Taiwan and let some leathernecks have some liberty.

MCPO Mark Durland - Need more than one for spares. I remember the moonlight requisitions of the late 50s through early 60s.

Real bad blood between these two groups! Lots of saber rattling from China.
