According to the Wall Street Journal:
“…60 ships were commonly underway in America’s seaward approaches in 1998, but today—despite opportunities for the infiltration of terrorists, the potential of weapons of mass destruction, and the ability of rogue nations to sea-launch intermediate and short-range ballistic missiles—there are only 20… As China’s navy rises and ours declines, not that far in the future the trajectories will cross.”
“Up to 30 ships, the largest ever constructed, each capable of carrying 18,000 containers, will soon come off the ways in South Korea. Not only will we neither build, own, nor man them, they won’t even call at our ports, which are not large enough to receive them…”
The writing is on the wall, militarily and economically.
Either the United States ceases pouring money into the bottomless Israel money-pit and looks after business, or China will rule the waves.
It’s just that simple.
