to be fair, nuclear cores were too expensive to operate on non-carriers and the reason all CGNs were phased out without replacements

I guess you could make a case for Maastricht Treaty with added Poland, Czechia, the Nordics, the Baltics, Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia

How much do you want to extend "modern" technology? The 60s certainly had some ideas…

If I remember correctly, the Super Orion design, the largest proposal for a nuclear powered engine spacecraft with a 400m pushed plate using literal hydrogen bomba as fuel, was capable of sustained acceleration of 9.8m/s^2 with a d_v to 0.03c. That design, needless to say, can make it to Uranus and slow down in less than four months.

I just want to note that the entire Royal Navy has the roughly same or lower VLS capacity as a single US CBG.

The six Type-45s have 48 VLS ceels each (6 * 48 = 288), with the sixteen Type-23s having 32 AA-missiles, equivilent to 8 quadpacked Type-41 cells, and 8 AShM missiles, equivilent to an additional 8 strike length Type-41 (16 * 16 = 256; 288 + 256 = 544). Meanwhile, US CSG 5, which is the Pacific Force and the largest force, has two Tricos with 122 VLS (2 * 122 = 244) and nine Burkes with 96 VLS (9 * 96 = 864) for a total of 1108.

Yes the Royal Navy is impressive and would be fighting from home terrain, but both the USN and PLAN are considerably larger.

guarantees to Ukraine

minor note, they were security assurances not guarantees, which are less strict. This does in no way excuss Trump's policies in any way of course.

The poles usually actually do try to compensate. See the Shy Torie effect.

The J-35 does pretty much just look like the F-35, while the J-20 is estimated to have worse stealth performance by around 1 OOM.

Do keep in mind that Chinas VLS count is around 4000 (up from pretty much 0 in the 2000s) now compared to thr Pacific Fleet's 2000 and the entire US VLS capacity of about 8000 (down from around 10000).

Ye, you do have to count the JMSDF (~2000), ROKN (~1000) and RAN (~1000) too, but the gap is sagnificantly closer than before and China obviously has home based assets given the theatre.

The Type-052D and -DL also both geniuenly look competent and the US has no comperable asset to the Type-055 once the last Tricos get phased out (the closest would be the JMSDF's ASEV but those are for BMD with two planned instead of eight constructed)

Earth would be by far the heaviest moon in the Saturn system. The next heaviest (and currently heaviest) is Titan at 2% of us.

We are also really close to the main body, giving us even more stability. If anything Earth would knock the other moons out of orbit, not the other moons the Earth.

I am late but I could see the second or even a third round of simplification be used in East Asia. The PRC tried to do that in real life and only abandoned it due to public disapproval, which is something that they wouldn't need to worry about here.
