If America ever loses a carrier, well there reaction might be almost the same as if a small city got nuked. Much less by unknowns has been done to them in the past and they way over reacted even against the advise on the generals. A loss of a carrier with hundred of causalities, would be like a Pearl Harbor to the Joint Chiefs.
It would actually make a perfect false flag op as well.

. likewise Russia could build more and build it cheaper but like their modern Chinese counterparts they also built them somewhat inferior.
Ridley Scott TV commercial on rising deficits get no love from networks.
Are you ready for the dark, future of war in Homefront? Watch this story trailer for the military game and prepare to defend the USA from disaster and invasion.

The one thing the US can do right now is to project force at long range via its carrier task groups.
Those days are over and this is the problem for the US.
Send in a carrier task force and by Hyper Sonic Missiles or by Subs, you can kiss them goodbye.
Force Projection becomes more and more difficult.

The biggest navy = the biggest target group. China knows this which is why she concentrates on Defense.

Joe Rogan had a podcast where he talked with the Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield. He flew in both the Russian and American spacecrafts. He said the American craft was by far superior in technical engineering feats, and in comfort. He said that the Soyuz felt like it could come apart at anytime and felt more dangerous.

That's because out space flight accidents were public knowledge. The amount of Russian space disasters kept under wraps would blow your mind. Though the Soyuz craft itselfwasnt the problem it was the
rocket assembly that usually malfunctioned.

You know it's funny..
Not to take anything away from China's hard work and determination to make advancements but all too often I hear about how China caught up to the US/West with this tech or that. Meanwhile, Nothings usually mentioned about how their rocket program was floundering for years and not too soon after Clintoncommitted treasonapproved the transfer, China's space program began to make progress by leaps and bounds.
Now as far as this latest development. How does MAD not still play a part? Your post focuses on defense. The concept of MAD very explicitly means Mutual Assured Destruction. These new types will hit their marks but nothing is said about the overwhelming retaliation that would assuredly follow from subs and bombers etc.
So, in essence, aren't we back at square one?
*Just with another reason for even more Trillion dollar Defense spending?
