67. Then why does the US spend so much on it's navy?

If it is obsolete, there is no point in having it is there?

The fact is an invasion comes from the sea. Confronting invasion forces at sea is a desirable defensive capability for any nation, which is why the US maintains its obscenely expensive navy, isn't it?

As for confronting the US, well isn't that a given, considering the US is the only nation interested in invading other nations at the moment?

Doesn't China have the right to defend itself against the US, or do you believe, like PNAC, that only the US has the right to self defence and the projection of power?
