Can you put me in touch with your drug dealer as you get really good stuff?
A small island nation beats Red Communist China?
I guess you are covering for your beloved XI.
So, in your view…..the big guy easily beats the little guy
Reality is different. Invading an Island Fortress is not easy. Germany tried to defeat England with just bombing. Because they lacked the Naval landing capability….they failed
Taiwan has done nothing but prepare for a Chinese invasion for 70 years.
They have bunkers and Civil Defense to withstand bombing
They have a modern Air Force, surface to air missiles, anti ship missiles, smart mines, submarines and an Army ready to repel invaders.
They also have the US Navy at their disposal
Ready to explain how you think China will “win”??
It won't help....No matter what Taiwan has done to prepare China will overcome them in less than 72 hours in an all out confrontation where street battles and house to house gunfire play no party. The immense damage made apparent to them will render nothing less than full and immediate capitulation. They will not respect civilian areas nor will they hold back any kind of available fire power no matter who gets vaporized including non combatant third party nations. It has to be the US and it has to be a US that is not committed to transgender tu-tu wearing courtesy rules of combat You're going to go head to head with China? Expect every dirty trick in the book including bio hazard bombs dropped on your unsuspecting allies.....You DO NOT HESITATE with the red dragon....you unload a decapitation assault and you do it before he knows enough to duck and once you cut off his head you immediately launch another one to cut off his neck.....
JO
You are absolutely correct....unfortunately we do not now have the type of leadership to do what is needed .....Nuclear weapons....are only worthwhile if your enemies believe you will or might use them.....does anyone in the world believe that biden or for that matter ---any democrat would authorize the use of nuclear weapons? of course not.
On the other hand China feared Trump might do that hence.....they did not threaten Taiwan under the Donald's watch.
However.....China realizes the Republicans may well take over congress in a couple of years as well as the Presidency next time.
Thus what many fail to understand is that this matter with Taiwan is very urgent....aka....China will make a move before the next congressional elections....wanting to take decisive action against Taiwan whilst America has weak leadership.
First they will try to cajole and negotiate with biden to let them have their way with Taiwan.....aka Hong Kong style.
If that fails you can expect a military confrontation.....also what many fail to realize....if Taiwan sees that America will not support them....and already they are beginning to realize that....they will try to buy some time....aka....make nicey nice with China....hoping they can stall any military action by China until the return of the Republicans.
Taiwan is ruled by some very wealthy people....their wealth means more to them than Taiwan....they are also very intelligent....knowing if China decides to invade Taiwan their wealth will be destroyed....hence Taiwan will not fight alone against China....no matter these empty boasts you hear.
What they will do is to attempt to negotiate a deal with China....something like admitting they are part of China and will ultimately rejoin China in a peaceful way....hoping to set up a system of kowtowing to China but to be able to retain their control of their financial system and their wealth....aka the way it was in Hong Kong before China ultimately completely subdued them with barely a whisper from the U.K or the U.S.
