US-Admiral: US-Streitkräfte verfügen über „Optionen“, um mit der Aggression im Südchinesischen Meer fertig zu werden

I hear it’s quite a plethora of options, some big, some small, some fast, some slow, some you can see, some you can’t, some you can experience, some experience you.

Is one option Gavin Newsom throwing them a parade?

American here. Honestly? Not too concerned with Chinese aggression. Not too concerned with Chinese anything, really. They’re good at hacking into companies (and countries) and stealing things. Beyond that… meh.

That would be the [Replicator Initiative](https://www.diu.mil/replicator).

The Pentagons been working on that option for some time now and [hasn’t been shy about explaining the method.](https://www.wired.com/story/china-taiwan-pentagon-drone-hellscape/)

>*Beijing’s main advantage is “mass: More ships. More missiles. More people,” Deputy Secretary of Defense* ***Kathleen Hicks*** *said at a military technology conference in Washington*.

>*“We’ll counter the PLA’s mass with mass of our own, but ours will be harder to plan for, harder to hit, harder to beat,” she said, referring to the Chinese military.*

>*The goal is “to field attritable autonomous systems at scale of multiple thousands, in multiple domains, within the next 18 to 24 months,” Hicks said.*

I don’t mean to jerk off the American military industrial complex too much but if I’ve learned anything from history it’s that I do not want to be standing on the deck of a chinese boat after America drops the gloves and unleashes their swarm. America isn’t always known for their restraint.

From[ Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks at the start of the year](https://www.defense.gov/News/Speeches/Speech/Article/3660659/remarks-by-deputy-secretary-of-defense-kathleen-hicks-collaborative-disruption/):

>*”Of course, it’s a much larger pie, and we still invest a lot: in real dollars, DoD’s 2024 R&D budget request of $145 billion is triple what it was during the Cold War. It’s more than what Alphabet, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft combined spent on R&D last year. And our requested 2024 procurement budget — what’s converted into fielded capabilities and services — is even more: $170 billion.”*

Best of luck with that China.

Edit:
What is it tonight with these fucking clowns that can’t read.

What the fuck do you think the Replicator Initiative is? Read the fucking links I gave you. It’s a full bodied blend with an enticing aroma that will allow the Americans to outproduce in a **targeted way.**

Congratulations China on being able to mass produce a million kinds of shit, I bet those fucking laundry baskets you throw in the ocean by the container full are real terrifying weapons of war. Your willingness to exploit your own people by keeping them uneducated and mass producing Tickle Me Elmos for Western consumption is truly a military prowess unmatched.

America doesn’t have to get good at manufacturing a million kinds of low quality shit.

**Just one decent kind that sinks Chinese warships.**

I’ve watched enough “unfuckwithable” T90-M’s get turned into fucking rolling crematoriums by drones in the past two years and watched some of what were claimed to be the most “advanced” SAM systems like the S-400 and their crew get turned into fucking flaming compost by HIMARS that any Chinese saber rattling is a fucking joke. The most advanced MBT, as mentioned above, from Russia got slapboxed by two American Bradleys IFVs who clowned on it and fed it a hot supper. The only thing funnier than that is watching the Desertcross vehicles China donated to Russia being blown to shit by everything from small arms fire to a wayward seagull slamming into the side of it. Your shit is weak.

I know you didn’t read what the DOD stated but it’s not the technology or the quality of Chinese bullshit that’s the problem, it’s mass. It’s numbers and thanks to heavy investment in Ukraine America is learning rapidly how to conduct and perfect asymmetric warfare.

If you think, and I know you obviously don’t, that Americans fuck around when it comes to war on the water you need to buy a horse, move up to the mountains somewhere and quit bothering everybody.

China policies in SCS, Taiwan are pathetic.
