China remains a threat to Taiwan - Trump is trying to prepare but the disloyal democrats are not cooperating

[drudge X]

Our standing in the world is already shit. Why does MAGA want to defend Taiwan but not Ukraine?

Says you.

Who is a bigger threat now? Russia or China?

 

[Zincwarrior]

They have no ability to actually sustain an amphibious invasion of the Island, much less conquer the whole thing.

Bullshit they don't. They have freighter sized landing craft.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Nevertheless we do

No WE DO NOT HAVE ONE.

 

[Marener]

You are entitled to your opinion

But you are wrong

Why? Trump knows his base doesn’t want to get involved in other people’s wars. Especially against peer nations.

Having the tool and knowing how to use the tool effectively are separate. Joe B here told us China's military jets are formidable against the F35. Could be but China lack aerial combat experience and the CCP loves to glorify their military hardwares until the real test.

What has Taiwan done for the US?

So you are in favor of isolationism?

I am in favor of avoiding a major war WE WILL LOSE over a shithole island.

Lol... Taiwan is light years ahead of Somalia. Only the ignoramus says Taiwan is a shit hole. It's called strategic value. Would you want China to exert total control over the entire S. China Sea and taking vital trade secrets on semiconductors manufacturing?

 

[Marener]

Neither are any threat to us which is why Americans won’t fight and die in any war with them.

Russia has no geopolitical influence aside influencing several lame duck countries from the former Soviet Union. China is a direct competitor of the US. If America believe dying for Muslim counties was worth it, Taiwan is worth 100X more.

Get real man. Myanmar has nothing of value to China. The S. China Sea holds valuable resources. Vietnam is even building bigger phony islands than China.

Really?

Myanmar is rich in minerals, including metal ores, petroleum, and natural gas, and also has significant deposits of precious and semiprecious stones. Although production generally has been increasing since the late 20th century, mining accounts for only a tiny fraction of the country’s GDP and a comparable portion of the workforce.

The US fought the communist bloc to a standstill even if we could not save South Vietnam

Russia and china were in no mood for another war with America

Um, you are a tad confused. Vietnam fell because the Vietnamese respected the Communists and had contempt for the Quislings we were supporting.

The US did not have jungle warfare experience at that time. Today's war are mostly fought on urban landscape, at sea, or launch from the sea.

We learned nothing from Vietnam, which is why Iraq and Afghanistan were such failures.

Oh, easily Russia.

China is only an adversary because the MIC needs it to be an adversary.

Again, Myanmar is not a strategic interest for China. The S. China Sea and adding portions of Siberia are. Why would Xi wants to upset Putty and even Putty knows China wants to seize that piece of land badly? I’ll let you figure that out.

US failed and that is why the army is for pushing more on MOUT training (Military Operations in Urban Terrain.

You mean other than a trade relationship and easy access to the Indian Ocean and minerals? But oddly, China is mostly keeping out of its civil war, aside from tacit support for the ruling Junta while pushing them to negotiate.

The S. China Sea

Keep in mind, South CHINA Sea. (The Chinese call it the 南海, or the South Sea.) Why are we involved?

You see, the only reason why Vietnam and the Philippines are interested now is because there MIGHT be oil under there.

Of course, these countries have no really valid claim, as they weren't part of the French or Spanish colonial claims. In fact, in the 19th Century, the world recognized those Islands as Chinese property.

and adding portions of Siberia are. Why would Xi wants to upset Putty and even Putty knows China wants to seize that piece of land badly?

Why would they seize it if they can get everything they want out of it through trade? The problem is that while in the past, the USSR was the senior partner, now China is.

I'll go one further. China is not making any claims on Outer Mongolia, which WAS legitimately part of the Qing Dynasty lands. Why? Because they already dominate trade with OM, and the land is too harsh to occupy. (Which is why there are more Mongolians in China than in Mongolia.)

I’ll let you figure that out.

I've got a pretty clear bead on it. You seem a tad confused, though.

US failed and that is why the army is for pushing more on MOUT training (Military Operations in Urban Terrain.

However did we win WWII without all this specialized training?

Oh, that's right, in WWII, we had conscription, we had clear objectives, and we had clear strategies.

Competitor for what exactly? Americans need to die to protect corporate profits?

 

[Jarlaxle]

Taiwan obviously needs nuclear weapons.

 

[scruffy]

Neither are any threat to us

lmao

Libtard naivete on display. ^^^

 

[Dr Grump]

I think if China attacks Taiwan it's going to get a bloody nose.

At this point it's a lose/lose for sure.
