Just goes again to show how you'd really have to be either suicidal or utterly cynical to be a US military planner these days. The delightful choice between a frigate with 052D displacement and nowhere near the capability for a gorillion dollars, and whatever this pitiful tragedy is for not quite a gorillion. How is any sane person supposed to make decisions like that?

It's quite easy if you are taking kickbacks from the MIC and don't care about the actual capabilities.

The fact is, the US just need to appear powerful against non-peer adversaries. That's why the US dares to fly its jet into Venezuela but not, say, within 12mn of Chinese islands in the South China Sea. When push comes to shove the US will actually tuck tail and run. See Operation Prosperity Guardian.

The US is powerful against non peer adversaries… A mere handful of countries field anything that can credibly hurt a US CSG.
