#1 ...Probably accurate - the Chinese Navy will be pretty much non-functional when it's over, as well as their Air Force. Comrade Xi will be retiring, one way or the other. And I really think that the Party will have a hard time holding on to power after a defeat of that magnitude.

And on the other hand, we will be easily looking at Vietnam-level casualties, the USN in the Pacific will be crippled, we're likely to be looking at the loss (sinking or CTL) of multiple carriers, and the USAF will be hurting badly as well.

Place your bets.

#2 How much time will the Chinese give us to identify our fighting admirals and retire the ones whose first thoughts are D.I.E.?

#3 The Puppet Show is hard at work continuing the Obama gutting that kind of character from the flag officers of all branches.

#4 the Chinese Navy will be pretty much non-functional when it's over, as well as their Air Force.

Then the Japanese show up again. Think about that Xi. They seemed to be able to handle that war on Asian mainland thing pretty well last time.

#5 This time I think Nanking will be on its own.

#7 Maybe a bunch from Taiwan.

I don't think the US would do it.

#8 So. Korea and Japan have the tech and ability (I assume they've seen the writing on the wall)
