Military experts provide frank assessment of US shortcomings in potential China conflict
US needs to increase its weapon stockpiles in regional ally nations, experts say
By Peter Aitken | Fox News
 
General Jack Keane joined ‘Fox News Live’ to discuss the breaking news that the Chinese spy balloon was shot down.

The U.S. would face few but significant hurdles if the military were to confront China following a Taiwan invasion, military experts told Fox News Digital.

"Unfortunately, talking broadly and in overall terms, the Chinese have dramatically increased their air, sea, space, cyber and missile capabilities in the last couple of decades," said James Anderson, acting undersecretary of defense for policy under President Trump.

"In some of the scenarios that could happen, we might well be at a competitive disadvantage initially because they have home-field advantage in terms of their capacity to quickly mobilize local forces, and that's really important to the PRC."

Surely one has to be the green fuel for all military vehicles and planes isn't developed yet, so an all-out nuclear war could devastate the planet.  If it were, the planet would be safe from the bad air. :whistle:

Yet, we will allow the Chi-coms access to our markets, agriculture, and technology so Nike can produce cheap sneakers with big profit margins.

Any recent revolts at the FoxConn i-Phone slave labor camps?
