China invading Taiwan
Apr 9^th, 2023 at 8:49pm

Wouldn't want to be in Taiwan - the last remaining anti-Communist Chinese-Nationalist (which Biden supports, but calls Trump evil for creating Nationalism in America) country.

Is this it? Seems almost a formality now. China pumping its War Machine at Taiwan with 'Invasion Drills' in full swing.

Could be. But a very expensive and important response none the less. China is basically expressing 'it will invade' regardless.

As for USA promising 'weapons'. Lotta good that will do, as Taiwan will be over-run and conquered very quickly. USA won't be able to supply them with anything without coming in direct conflict with China 'in Taiwan'.

Not in the least.
Ukraine is a very different situation than Taiwan.
Unlike China, Russia has been rusting away since its former USSR glory days. China has been on the up.

Unlike Ukraine. Taiwan will be done and dusted by the CCP very quickly. USA will be left looking for excuses.

An invasion of Taiwan will require a competent and experienced navy. The CCP doesn't have one of them.

It's not just the US Navy that the CCP needs to worry about (which could pile up the PLAN in the Taiwan Strait enough to create a new island), it's also the Japanese Navy.

Has it ever mattered in the past?

China will conquer Taiwan.
Let's just get the whole thing over and done with, so the world can move on from the past.

The Japanese will declare war on China and the US will back its ally that it's sworn to defend.

Oh, so that's it? It all comes to involving others to keep China from making a successful 'easy' take of Taiwan?

Correct.

Made easier as Japan considers an attack on Taiwan as an existential threat to Japan.
