MH60 Helicopter and F18 protecting USS Nimitz just went down South China sea...

[UKDslayer]

So, we are doing routine training missions in S. China sea and this happens, could be an two bad accidents within 30 minutes but... along with trade wars/tariffs, some suspecting our activity in Venezuela not about targeting drug boats but sending a message to tell China/Putin ahead of talks between Trump and Xi to stay out of S. America and "our" hemisphere (Monroe doctrine) is this the start of something, false flag, or just bad timing of two accidents?

All crew have been recovered alive.

 

[jetjock07]

Sounds like an accident since crew was recovered alive. But who knows anymore.

 

[UKDslayer]

Sure, just the high odds of those both happening within a span of 30 minutes is sending conspiracy theories of "electronic warfare" ...

Look at the attrition rates of pilots during WW2. Look at them post WW2 before we got angled flight decks. One of the reasons we were able to win WW2 wasn't because our pilots were 'better' Japan's Navy > US Navy (I said it). The reason we won is because we killed pilots faster than they could replace them and we trained ours faster than they could be killed. 1942 was a brawl that we won because we could replace ships and pilots faster than Japan. The real question is how do we train and replace our elite air crews with an adversary with double our population.

War a cruel and we have become soft over the years. How is a Nimitz/Ford craft carrier gonna handle three missle impacts. Are we gonna be able to have it back in service in 3 months? It takes 5 years to build one (and thats fast). So fixing and repair is gonna be a real thing with the shit flies.

Train hard in peace. War is 10X harder. Planes will be lost. Pilots will be killed. This ain't COD with a respawn.

Dude we can’t build shit or fix shit anymore. Look at the Baltimore bridge that still won’t be rebuilt until 2028 ? 4 fucking years.

And then look at what china is doing with their infrastructure. Look at this fucking thing

When was the last time a western country built something like this ?

Exactly my point.

We are soft. We may have elite front line, but as I mentioned, so did Japan. It was easy before When you have More industry than the rest of the world combined and 2X the population of your opponents.

We don't have that anymore.

Tiger/Panther > Sherman
Kito Butai > US Navy

See also Ukraine/Russia. Yes Ukraine is propped up by Europen and US money. Russia got soft. We aren't immune.

It took them only 2-1/2 years to build this bridge, don't think I would drive my car across it. The next thing you're going to see of this thing is a film clip of it rocking and rolling like the Tacoma Narrow's bridge.

And what will it take to bring it down? A single drone. Not as juicy a target as 3 Gorges...

I believe there is much more going on behind the curtains. Most self thinkers can feel something bad is brewing.

When you factor in China probably doesn't require environmental impact studies, safety studies, butterfly studies, grasshopper studies, and all the other bullshit "studies" that US companies' are subject to no wonder they can build whatever they want faster than the US.

Big government jobs like Baltimore bridge have lots of requirements, mandatory minimal number of small business that are female run/owned, etc. So many rules and requirements that slow getting things done.
