A war with China would cost America $1.7 billion per hour, with military losses including a Tomahawk missile every 7 seconds, an F-35 every 53 minutes, and an aircraft carrier every 7 days, while 40% of global trade moves through the South China Sea, meaning the global economy could stop within 72 hours of the first shot.

A War With China Costs America $1,700,000,000 Per Hour #shortsAdded:
$1.7 billion per hour. That's what a war with China costs America. Not a year, not a month, per hour. That's a Tomahawk missile every 7 seconds, an F-35 every 53 minutes, an aircraft carrier >> [music] >> every 7 days. This isn't speculation.
CSIS ran the war game [music] 24 times.
The Pentagon's own budget, $961 billion, already assumes some of these losses.
[music] And that's just the military number. 40% of global trade moves through the South China Sea. Within 72 hours of the first shot, the global economy stops. One missile, $2 million, sinks a $13 billion [music] carrier. The math always wins. Thanks for watching Fact Stack. Someone had to say it.
