I keep copying your big blocks (back) into Word and then cut them into paragraphs to read.

A few comments on 1995:

(On the whole, I like this a lot, so I'll apologize if these seem picky)

I am not sure that these satellite launches are worth mentioning on the global war scale. I would imagine that there are probably multiple launches of various satellites for improved intelligence, communication, and navigation purposes, even if they are simply put in quiet reserve orbits to be used as needed.

I’m not sure how useful that would be. The weapons are all the wrong caliber to supply locally, creating a future supply and supply chain issue; all equipment would need training before use.

I think this makes more sense for 1996, when the Chinese are more desperate; here the Soviets are still 500 km away, and the Chinese believe they have the strength to fight back - they are planning a counter-offensive, after all.

That’s before discussing the kind of flak the US president would get for giving a lot of expensive stuff away that we might need VERY soon. 1995 is a year before an election; the primary candidates for the opposing party would make great hay from that.

Um, have you been to New Hampshire? There is no city large enough (nor enough people unhappy enough) to have a decent riot. Perhaps Maryland (Baltimore), or Massachusetts (Boston) would be large enough to get a crowd that would riot. Better might be somewhere split between right and left wings to get a disagreement to break out into a riot. Michigan (Detroit) or Ohio (Cleveland, Columbus or Toledo) might be better for that purpose.

I think the Stennis and its battle group would have a months-long work up period first. But, it could free up an Atlantic-based (standing) carrier group to be sent to the Pacific, though.
