I'm sure the citizens of China demand Xi Jinping to heed the counsel of his generals and start sinking aircraft carriers right away. After all, generals know what's best.
There are way too many defenses to penetrate in order to sink a carrier. So I don't think there's a snowballs chance in hell for anyone to claim it was an accident. Therefore if they did, it was done intentionally. And I gotta feeling there would be such backlash and an unstoppable surge in this country for vengeance. We would demand total war and turn China into a barren waste land whatever the cost. And while we were at it we should go after that little fat man in N.K. too. Oh and I say we capture the Chinese general who dreamed up the idea and string him up by his family jewels (if he has any)
And just you know I would volunteer to push the button to make it happen.
