I think you are off base with that comment. Japan knows that china with out a buffer between them is only a two day sail for troop ships. biggest issue at the moment is if Biden will accept the bribe to let it happen or not.Japan would very likely step in with a West Taiwan vs Taiwan war, Japan hardcore spy's on china.
China is West Taiwan
No, it will not happen it's just saber rattling by China because so many companies have left China and gone to Taiwan.
Taiwan is no easy target to take over, all males over 18 years old must do two years of Military service. I am not sure if that has changed but it was like that the last time I checked. Also Taiwanese are some of the most disciplined and patriotic people in the world.
The second problem for China is that Taiwan is armed to the teeth with surface to air missile systems and coastal defense systems. They have been planning for this scenario for several decades. The third problem is that China has no real method of getting sufficient troops to Taiwan in a timely manor. I mean yeah they could try but its pretty easy to sink a container ship. Fourth is that the Chinese military has never won a war and their troops are renowned for fleeing when things get hairy.
The main reason it won't happen is because Taiwan has a shield against Invasion. It's called TSMC
TSMC is the largest semiconductor company in the world and they make the most advanced chips in the world.
America may design an advanced chip but the only place on the planet that can build them is TSMC.
The US military heavily depends on TSMC for chips in almost all or our planes, ships and subs cutting edge technology. Simply put TSMC is considered an essential Asset of the highest magnitude, one that the US military will never let China have or destroy.
Let me put it to you this way. The last war China fought was in the Late 1970s against Vietnam. (Yes Vietnam!) During this Land locked battle the Chinese sent in over 600,000 troops and 7000 Tanks into Vietnam.
They timed this attack because the main Vietnames army was tied up fighting a major war in Cambodia
The Chinese were so poorly trained and had such little motivation that the Vietnamese reserve army where able to
drive back the Chinese in two weeks killing about 20,000 of them in the process.
the only people afraid of biden are people that love the US...
sorry as this is not germane to the conversation, but I was under the impression (possibly dated) that Greece was underwater in regards to government spending primarily on retirement funds. Am i misinformed?
The mentality of the people and the Miltary has not changed at all. The Chinese military may have more advanced weapons than they did in the 70s but that don't mean jack if your not willing to die for your country. Perfect example of this is what happened in Afghanistan.
Nope never been to Taiwan but I have been to China.
That is why I don't subscribe to the whole prepping stuff for EOD. Your LFP's wont be your first problem, it will be something as simple as needing Antibiotics to stop a common infection. Ever take a look at the stats on why people in the old days died so young? One major killer was simple infections like a broken tooth causing a jaw bone infection. We take Antibiotics for granted but they are the simple item that saves millions of lives every year.fortunately my cabin is really remote, and surrounded by deer, wild boar, pheasants and trout. I am well skilled with a crossbow and my Cabin is solar powered! so my freezers will remain full and on... at least till my LFP's die
who says i don't have some antibiotics stashed? (joking) but I was having fun with the whole walking dead scenario and you are buzzkilling it... To be honest I would be dead in a year or two once I ran out my jardience prescription.
Maybe a good short term plan but if shtf you will find yourself with verystealthy more astute city preppers that will thin your ‘resources’ to nothing
Goat doesn’t taste bad, burros? Dunno
My cabin is right next door to aokigahara AKA Suicide forest. I am sure I can dissapear a few bodies there and get it written of as the standard suicide thing
What in the wide wide world of sports does that have to do with the price of tea in China. Is gun ownership some sort of weird twisted filter for manliness or patriotism for you? Do you own a radiation heat transfer book?
I own 2 . Of each . ?
