LOL

F35s are going to be junk if they don't have carriers to operate from.

Not entirely sure what China would have to gain by sinking one of our carriers, anyway.

china doesnt have the force projection that we do, even without a navy that has more aircraft than all of the worlds airforces combined

Don't be a hater, it is not my fault you suck so bad you could not return to the Army as a civilian DoD employee. I guess even the Army has standards they will not detour from.

For some reason, this thread reminds me of the silly US-Mexico-China coalition against the antichrist in 'Omega Code 2.' That was a lot of Chinese tanks...

Congratulations, let me guess, when you grow up you want to be an ACLU lawyer.

Seriously? So they'd be the ones to have to go spank the Middle East...while losing business in the US? Poor swap for them, if you ask me. China's more patient than that.

I understand what force projection is, there is a limit to what can be done with B52s, Global Hawks and Submarines - all of which are vulnerable to the defences of a first world military.

No-one needs to spank the ME, they know the US economy will implode soon enough - they have a long term plan which is why they're building their military now.

dude, no.  Force projection not only covers destructive capabilites, in fact it has more to do with the ability to place a number of military forces on any piece of earth within  small window of time.  dont be naive dude.

Which is pretty hard if you don't have carriers to provide the protective umbrella.

Force projection is more or less military power times a logistics coefficient. Naming only long range hardware when talking about force projection is dumb.
