President's Obama's "Asia Pivot" - the U.S. shifting it's military focus from the middle east to the pacific - is of course a response to China's emergence as a military rival and threat in the region.
A think tank within the DoD has come up with the AirSea Battle concept which supposes that a future military conflict with China would begin with devastating pre-emptive attacks against U.S. airbases in the Korean peninsula and Japan. The ASB doctrine would be to mitigate such an ****** by hardening defenses and spreading out ****** throughout the pacific while countering with long range stealth attacks deep into China.
I'm no military strategist, but the folks who devised this are. It's intriguing and scary at the same time.
So this thread comes down to, how likely and if so, who would win?
