South China Sea

There is a US naval flotilla testing the South China Sea waters as to whether it can sail into them invulnerably.

Of course they can do so, so long as the Chinese do not use what they have, for example:

If they do, the question is whether the US is willing to let fly a nuclear exchange with China:

Shanghai for New York City

Beijing for Washington

Hong Kong for Los Angeles?

The question in the end is who has:

the stomache for this kind of loss

and

the chutzpah to afford the loss?

Times have changed and we already know whose blood will drain out of them when it comes to down to doing such a thing!

What few realize that the spirit of Isoroku Yamamoto lives on in many a Chinese admiral. This is to say that they are itching for IT.

It is thus our forecast that:

If the US really wants it, IT WILL GET IT.

And our time frame is that it will be between 6 and 12 months.
