This is mis-information from a Communist.............
1. If he says this, his hope is that we would stand down our military purchases because our elected officials believe him.
2. They are on a robust shipbuilding schedule. While I agree that our fleet is much stronger than theirs, it is also accurate to state that they are building a fleet to deny sea access in that part of the world. Their shipbuilding programs are more aggressive than ours right now.
3. Never listen or believe a Commie - never, never, never. Just enough plausibility to make a lie sound like the truth.
