The U.S. Navy is preparing for the possibility of military action against China by 2027. This was reported in the Navigation Plan by U.S. Navy Chief of Staff Admiral Lisa Franchetti.

I was under the impression that "war with China" was at the top of the plans for over a decade now. I definitely remember seeing stuff like this years ago, and all that's changed is the US is even more reliant on Chinese imports.

Is a war-time economy still good if your manufacturing sector can't get 2/3rds of its raw materials?

I love that the causus belli is literally "vibes"

Lol I just posted this, I need to check the news comm more before I post.

I'll just drop my comment here: if the first BRICS transaction without the dollar occurs before the end of 2025, then China has an opportunity to significantly reduce trade with the dollar in retaliation for this war.

This is a major redline that the US is going to overstep, but China probably wouldn't want to throw the world into a major recession for this since no one would benefit. The US is probably banking on keeping up trade with China should they send their navy into the SCS along with their "allies."

But this hinges on whether or not China and associated BRICS trade partners can actually carry out transactions without the dollar.

I mean as the USA’s main peer adversary I am surprised to read that they don’t already consider themselves to be prepared for the possibility of military action against china today. Like what else are they doing? (Besides getting humiliated by the Houthis…)

If China needs any American civilians to take to a camp, but the camp is like cozy in the mountains somewhere getting to eat home made soups, noodles, and rice dishes where I get to study kanji DM me. I'll teach you the secrets of anglo grappling for a local Sanda school.
