Reality is 2 of the worlds best Aircraft Carriers are within 72 hours of there. The worlds best Anti Aircraft ships are withon 5 days of there. The undersea is filled with the Nuclear subs the Chinese dislike the Aus have capibilities of. Taiwan is not a bed down and take it bully either, for its size it has a very very adavnced and very significant home defence measures, with obviously fighting for home, land wives kids. Britain sort of by proxy said "NO" recently with the Aus deal no matter what is happening in Washington. Plug the hole sopened by biden after 40 odd years of accepted line in the sand. Propoganda. 5 yrs? Maybe not esp if realected rainbow warrior unicorn princess woke checking hollywierd dems. That is all. |

It is the same plan that the USA has with all of the aircraft carriers it is like it is still 1945. But seriously, they'd have to tear up taiwan for 6 weeks with ballistic and cruise missiles until they all came out with white flags to make that even remotely possible. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 35044184 United States 10/18/2021 05:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | China could achieve a pyrrhic victory. I do not know to what extent they would go "as a matter of principle" to curb their runaway province. We assume that the Chinese are more practical than that. An onslaught on Taiwan would necessitate taking out all US bases and assets in the region. That is already a wider war than they could stand. At best the chinese can field 100 nuclear weapons in an offensive...at best. Now..as the OP suggested...the closer islands are at risk simply due to their close proximity to the mainland. That could be accomplished with minimal use of force and global outrage. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 80654172 Canada 10/18/2021 04:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Those Chinese are absolutely fucked if they set foot on Taiwan. It's like a bunch of sissy private school kids beefing with the inter-generational boxing club from the hood. Chinese men that have never had an original thought, never fought with anyone except innocent mountain people, competing with the toughest people on the planet. |
