We'll see how frightened America is': Admiral warns U.S. that China's navy could sink two aircraft carriers and kill 10,000 sailors if it stands in way of Beijing's goals in South China Sea
Here we go into WW111
Thanks a lot, Trump.

This has been going on for years.
The Admiral is posturing. China doesn't yet have the military acumen/depth to challenge the US with kinetic warfare.
It isn't Trump threatening WW3. It's Chinese Admiral ****face.
If China's leaders had brains, they'd 86 this loser before he does something stupid and put China in America's crosshairs.
Apparently you have forgotten 9/12.The the way to defeat America is to cause as many casualties as fast as they can because the American society is now soft and unwilling to tolerate high levels of human life lost....that we dont believe in anything enough to put up with that anymore.....is not a new idea.

It also has nothing to do with Trump.
Rear Admiral F*** Nuts is speaking way above his pay grade and far beyond China's actual capabilities.
I started reading that Daily Mail article but then got distracted and clicked on the side link to "Padma Lakshmi looks fabulous in bikini."
It's hard to imagine she used to be married to Salman Rushdie.
I don't trust the Daily Mail. But China has been way out of line regarding the South China Sea. Their claims are just ridiculous. It's worth standing up to them. I doubt they want to go to war over it. It's would be idiotic and they're not stupid.

It has EVERYTHING to do with Trump. China and Russia see that Trump is weak, and the are testing him.

They see Trump denigrating our military leaders, they see that as weak, because no way in holy hell would a chinese
leader do that about one of it's own military brass. Trump's epic buffoonery has led to this climate where a chinese admiral would be so adventurous to say something like that.
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/imagine-what-if-china-sunk-navy-aircraft-carrier-31847There is a considerable amount of inertia behind the carrier program in the United States. In a recent article about China’s DF-21D Time magazine quoted retired Navy Captain naval-strategist Bernard Cole explaining how our Navy, domestic industry, and politicians all have a deep-rooted interest in keeping carriers as the centerpiece of our naval strategy. Indeed, these behemoths have accompanied us during the entirety of our rise to military preeminence. However, our close relationship with the carrier has its drawbacks. Historically, one advantage that developing militaries have is that they get to base their doctrine and fighting methods on current technology in the relative absence of entrenched interests. Conversely, consider the damage that obsolete ideas of warfare wrought during the beginning of World War One. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died before the major European militaries were able to shed themselves of their dogmatic doctrine and antiquated leadership. If aircraft carriers are being eclipsed by various A2/AD weapons systems and asymmetric strategies, the military-industrial inertia behind the carrier program is a strategic disadvantage to the United States.
The U.S. public is not conditioned to enduring high amounts of casualties. The last time commensurate numbers of U.S. troops died in a single military engagement was in 1950 during the Korean War. Knowing that, what would be the reaction if a U.S. carrier were attacked and sunk?

It has nothing to do with Trump, this is our future enemy telling us that they think that we have made a fundamental mistake by still having the carriers be the backbone of our military strategy....they are projecting confidence because that is what peoples do before they go to war.
THe really sad/scary thing is that they might be right:
