  1. In an intense naval war in the Western Pacific involving the PLAAN versus US and allies, I might predict that the PLAAN sailors will refuse to sail their ships after a period of only a few weeks where significant number of PLAAN ships and crews are lost. Effectively, this will be mutiny against the CCP and it's leadership. In World War 1, a similar naval mutiny occurred between the Kaiser's navy and the German government (by then being run by a Generalissamo pair; Hindenberg and Ludendorff). This was in response to a suicidal order to attack the British High Sea Fleet without returning.

  2. One thing i might add for this video, is that i'm not a security freak, but could all images of markings, badges, numbers or writing on US and allied warplanes be blurred out, except roundals that identify the air force nation only? This makes it harder for military intelligence in the PLA to identity squadrons and/or individual planes. Similarly with ships, can their pennant or hull numbers (typically on the bow under the forecastle anchors) and ship names also be blurred out, on the bow and stern? National and service flags are ok. Anything seemingly minor that visually assists the enemy (the PLA and CCP) is an assistance to their military and espionage missions and is not a good thing.
