"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…

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).

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.
