The U.S. currently has no peer.
Not even with CCP, Russia, Iran & North Korea COMBINED.
Though all at once would certainly be painful.

I’m not sure what decade you’re in
It isn’t this one
I think maybe this type of thinking is part of the failure to refocus and act
You see the CCP have been plotting their rise and US downfall every minute of every day until this very point for the past 70 years … and when they’re about to leap frog economically and militarily
That’s right now
You still seem stuck in the 80s with that invincible Rambo mindset, while a pace never seen before unfolds in-front of you
Which has the wind so far up military planners arses that they’re scurrying for more funding and allies, which doesn’t even come close to keeping up PLA military expansion in every area, unless of course a NATO style refocus occurs
Honestly at this point it’s just laughable to still be stuck in MURICA mode while such a prolific threat is knocking

Back in the 80's, President Reagan came up with the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Ultimately, it was the demise of the Soviet Union. Nobody knew it then, but that's what it was. Why?
SDI meant that Russia could fire missiles at the US and we could shoot them down (real or imagined), and the US could fire missiles back at Russia with near immunity. Folks, Russia freaked out about this, and it ultimately collapsed their entire economy. Why? Because the age-old MAD doctrine had ben disrupted (from Russia's perspective). The US had literally "spent" Russia into oblivion.
China was just a "puppy" then.
Imagine China now. Despite Jao Bai-Dan, they're not going to take on the US military! Reagan was president nearly 40 years ago, and if anyone thinks weapons system haven't improve in that time, well, they're foolish!

You have it backwards.
We had strong peer for all of 70s and most of 80s.
And likely will again.
We do not have military peer right now.
Can more than match entire world at once if needed.
Extremely painful. But outcome assured.
Using no nukes. While defending against same.
Suggest you research even publicly known systems, numbers, and capabilities before continuing.
Even those will easily confirm everything discussed.

Nothing about battle plan against CCP would be even remotely as you described.
Suggest you study before posting more nonsense.

I never wrote the a battle plan, I just told you which platforms are being discussed for potential development and usage in this particular theatre, I mean I’m sure they’re needed for a good reason, and that’s because confidence is massively eroding
But I’d love to hear your battle plan

However, what is the ratio of strategic incompetence to tactical superiority? It has been demonstrated time and time again.

Neither had anything to do with SDI, which was still only a bluff at that point, but one that USSR bought completely.

You really think the Democrats are going to nuke China in defense of Taiwan? Really? You think a Democrat administration beholden to the CCP is going to put up much resistance? Really? Do you really think the most powerful corporations in the world, the Big Tech giants like Google, etc. who are utterly dependent upon the good wishes of the CCP are going to stand by and allow their puppet party, the Democrats, to interfere in a Chinese invasion of Taiwan? REally?

Propaganda and capabilities don't always add up. First gulf war and T-72's come to mind.
