In January 2022 you could have said that about Ukrainian kids: "none will die unless they want to", "what's bad for Big Money ain't happening", etc., yet here we are in April 2023 watching it in practice.

In January 2022 you could have said that about Ukrainian kids: "none will die unless they want to", "what's bad for Big Money ain't happening", etc., yet here we are in April 2023 watching it in practice.
The warmongers don't give a shit how many Americans die, period. The best thing people can do is wake up and protest before they get shipped off to Taiwan and shipped back in a body bag.
And noting the Pacific comment, riddle me this: How many Chinese hypersonic missiles do you think it will take to sink an entire carrier group?
Despite $850 billion a year, we don't have a counter to hypersonic missiles because math is racist according to Democrats. The entire US surface fleet is screwed before it even gets close to Taiwan.
"Some might drown in the Pacific though..." was a reference to the ADAA aspect. Chances are less referred to the immediate future.
Why? Despite all the noise the economies have not untangled. Chinese manufacturing is critical to the American economy and until the Chinese make progress on the BRI they remain vulnerable to the American navy. Hypersonics do not work underwater. The surface fleet is not the threat and neither is airpower. Fixed installations within two thousand miles and maybe more can be targeted.
Going to war is not the problem it's surviving it that is the trick.
Of course both are preparing the battlefield but neither party has that confidence right now.
As to big money and Ukraine where does the American taxpayer dollars go? To Ukraine?
Ukrainian kids? Indoctrinated as banderites and fighting killing in Donbass since 2014 long before Jan 2022.
Someone please explain what benefit an aircraft carrier has when it gets sunk 1,400 kilometers away from its generic land target? Same applies to the rest of the carrier fleet and transport ships.
The US has a surface fleet of ~300 ships. Assume 3 hypersonic missiles to destroy a ship, that means China needs 1,000 (including 10% for dud strikes).
My brother was a scientist and then a Quant, so I know both sides of the story.
The reason is math and science have been dumbed down in the US, in addition to not producing sufficient STEM graduates. So yes, it's a multi-part problem, and some of those parts of generated by State and Federal education agencies.
The remuneration issue for STEM graduates is relatively simple to resolve, however the production of top level STEM graduates who can think creatively and execute on that creativity is much harder.
My brother was a theoretical physics graduate 30 years ago. My kid, is currently a theoretical physics undergraduate. So I've seen a lifetime of high level physics and math, and how it was taught.
If the government wanted to draw more people into STEM, it could make the salaries of STEM workers tax free. That would go a long way to making the lives of STEM workers much more attractive.
The math / science issue at schools and even at university undergrad level is very real. Top level idea generation requires excellence, not equality. Basic R&D isn't process work. Even applied R&D isn't, but its needs a basis on which to work from.
This is a 1990's redux, and it won't be solved any time soon unfortunately.

American kids will end up dead in the Pacific, 1,400-1,500 kilometers from shore.
China’s hypersonic arsenal includes the DF-17, a medium-range ballistic missile with a hypersonic glide vehicle that has a range of 1,600 kilometers.

American kids will probably die in Ukraine too.
Economic concerns always give way to security concerns.

Thanks for the conversation, sincerely.
