Lol, leftists know everything!The Pentagon has ran this scenario. No way the US allows manned aircraft within striking distance of mainland China.
We would stay on the leeward side of Taiwan, and use long range air to air missiles against Chinese aircraft in the Taiwan Straight.
There’s no way we could keep a carrier safe from Chinese anti ship cruise missiles, if we got that close. It would require air refueling operations at sea, for fighters to carry out sorties.
If China sank a carrier, there’s no way in hell we don’t retaliate by offensive operations on Chinese naval and air positions on the mainland coast. At that point all bets are off, and the nuclear option is now on the table.
