South China Sea and China (2011-2017)

Slap:

I read the first article on the link you provided and got so depressed I couldn't read anymore. American intel on China is a combination of incompetence, arrogance, ignorance, failure and ideologically driven willful blindness. It is depressing to think that in less than 10 years, Red Chinese J-20s will be flying around picking off American jets (not the F-35, that will still be in development) at will; and right up to the time the first jets go down the American intel community will still be saying they don't have the capability or they won't actually do so because deep down inside, they are our buddies. And then, the intel community will still deny it is happening and recommend we ask Pakistan to help us clear up the misunderstanding.

You state with certainty that full scale war with China is inevitable within the decade,and the decisive factors contributing to a probable US defeat are the lack of advanced fighters and an intel community packed with fools and communist sympathisers. Shouldn't the bulk of the defense budget be redirected to the USAF and the intelligence community be ruthlessly purged of traitors?

Does this mean that any nation engaged in trade with China is in effect aiding the enemy? Shouldn't these countries be called out on their perfidy, whoever they might be?

What do you recommend countries in the region do to prepare for this? Should they all immediately set about developing nuclear deterrence?
