Like a giant Kraken, awaking from a lengthy slumber, America’s global military might is slowly turning toward its main enemy, China.
While the latest evidence of that is the newly revealed “Three Eyes” AUKUS pact, which will provide nuclear-powered submarines and technology to Australia, the renewed focus on Asia is affecting just about every arm of the US military.
The UK also announced it will station two patrol vessels in the Indo-Pacific region for “at least the next five years” as part of the allied effort to check China’s naval expansion.
Now it has been revealed that US Special Forces are seeking a transport plane that can land and take off on water — ostensibly, to be used against China.
