The threat of a U.S. war with China is far greater than commonly understood, writes TomRTweets. The nation must remember Rutherford, Wittman and the 219 others in Congress who voted down Smith's amendment in favor of cronyism.
The threat of a U.S. war with China is far greater than commonly understood. Most U.S. military and intelligence analysts believe Xi Jinping is likely to conduct an invasion of Taiwan by 2030. Tensions in the South China Sea are escalating in tandem, as China attempts to dominate trillions of dollars' worth of international trade flows militarily.
Those 221 members of the House made a big mistake. It's a mistake that says much about the very sorry state of the military-industrial complex. After all, the LCS is totally incapable of doing what the Navy needs all its warships to do. Which is to say, survive high-tempo combat operations against Communist China's People's Liberation Army.
This is totally disingenuous. If an LCS enters the South China Sea or the East China Sea during a war with China, their crews will die without any mission success. Again, young Americans will die for no reason. Moreover, for just that reason, the Navy explicitly wants to scrap all these ships. Rutherford is lying when he says these ships serve a"fleet mix" that"the Navy wants to have." Rutherford wants the ships saved because some are home-ported in his district.
