We don’t feel comfortable when a Russian submarine shows up in the port of Havana. It is the short missile distance to Florida and Atlantic Navy shipyards that concern us.
Mirror that to the South China Sea, and you have Taiwan, Philippines, Japan and South Korea as the 4 ‘Cubas’ for China.
CCP probably plans to have 4x the amount of ships and subs to counter those 4 Cubas. Aside from the faster access to deep sea from the southern port.
Two nukes forced all Japan to surrender.
Two nukes today would probably force all 4 ‘Cubas’ to surrender.
Do harm to Philippines as the least important and furthest away, and you force Taiwan to surrender. It would probably be wise for the 4 Cubas to enter in some kind of defense alliance.
