I think America should be working out how to protect the eventual Communist offensive against Taiwan, Japan and Australia rather than just their own offensive measures.

If they don't take Taiwan by force, they will just swallow them by squeezing them economically, denying them travel in various critical areas they require for trade, bribing and buying politicians (as they do to the West) etc.

China is probably just in wait for the right opportunity. They just took H.K and they are working on squeezing the Aussies and NZ economically right now also, keeping them dependent on them. Once done with these irritants, they will turn their sights elsewhere.

By the time China decides to go on the offensive, they could be too advanced, or too rapid in their activities. Worse, a passive, docile America that decides "it's not worth the economic 'benefit' we enjoy from cheap labour in China, so, unfortunately, you're on your own Taiwan".

China will know when to move, it won't be until they are in a much superior position, economically, geo-politically (they are in a great spot based on the U.N and WTO fiascos) and otherwise. They have to choose to eventually expand though with a focus on economics, but we saw their swift and deliberate move into H.K. 1.4B people and weak Western leadership? Just a matter of time...

You could run a battleship aground so it couldn't sink & level an entire city!

China has already taken over the USA, and they are training troops in Canada now

Great idea except there are no battleships to run aground and all they ever did was kill the people firing the guns anyway. Bye the way an aground battleship that can not evade enemy missiles does not have to sink as everyone on it will be dead in 2 minutes

Okay...

I'm all for spending less money on them because we don't need a bloated Military Industrial complex, but if we get into a war with Russia or China, it would be our own stupidity.

It kinda depends on what you're doing. For an all out shootem up with the commie bastards it's a missile rumble.

Russia has 1 carrier just so they can say they have 1 and test the platform. Russia accepts that it can not protect a carrier from the USA, we should have as much brains. A carrier has to get close enough to the target for it's jets to fly in and back and this is way to close to survive a missile attack. Note that the enemy will not use 1 missile but as many as needed

And carriers are not necessarily meant to attack China or Russia directly. They can and would perform a valuable function of keeping control of the SLOCs such as to the Persian Gulf.
