The divide and conquer plan. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde or Good Cop and Bad Cop routine conducted by the US every 4 years is so tiresome. It is turning into a broken record.
European military spending is and was limited by financial constraints. This is why it didn't increase that much after 2014 or 2022. It won't increase much again either.
Until combat warplanes that can travel at sub-orbital altitudes and capable of crossing the Pacific in mere hours can be deployed en masse, aircraft carriers will never become obsolete.
Instead, what will happen is that the methods of engineering and fielding aircraft carriers evolving and transforming.
Not true at all. If anti-ship missiles become so good that fleets protecting the carrier fails to intercept then a carrier is just an expensive waste of money and men.
Have you ever watched the very good scifi series "Babylon 5" where the Centauri Ambassador Londo Mollari advises earth not to attack the far superior Minbari and earth of course ignores his sage advice whereupon the diaster unfolds for earth in the war Mollari says about earth's politicians/military leaders: "stupidity and arrogance all in one package,how convenient" Describes india perfectly and now Trump'sLike I always say, this is straight out of the comic books.
The lying Liberal media and Faux News.
What a combo!
Till eternity! Trump!
USA to the max.but still dangerous for ChinaThen, by your logic - If anti-ship missiles become so good such that no warship can ever defend the carriers from them, then everyone shouldn't bother with building any warships anymore. Because it's not just aircraft carriers that becomes an expensive waste of money and men, but also just about any other types of warships, as they would be similarly vulnerable to those anti-ship missiles.
Which is rather nonsensical, of course.

Armored knights are no longer active, right? Well it could happen to warships too. If anti-ship missiles and drones become so good that surface ships simply cannot defend against them then surface ships could become obsolete. Then navies might switch to only have submarines which will hide in the terrain of deep water to prevent detection.
There is a reason soldiers no longer fight in open fields, it's impossible to defend against bullets and artillery. Same thing could happen to surface ships. They are too slow, completely exposed and go down easily.
Do soldiers not have kevlar vests and helmets?
Could surface ships not simply evolve their tactics and operate outside of antiship and drone range?
