But here is another kernel of good truth, that the US by all means keep its dominance of the air. The sea lanes are not as crucial as the air lanes anymore. I had started a thread with the premiss that warfare will telescope-nest in further and further until it is mostly missile warfare. Missiles and antimissiles. It will be one big missile show.
Missiles are control of the air-lanes.
I will take up these discussions next year or some other year.
