The GOP establishment will do whatever the deep state tells them to do. Look to the Ukraine quagmire as an example to their behavior. The problem here is China owns most of our politicians and the deep state and those they don’t are not looking out for the USA but their own agencies and career. It will be interesting how the traitors react and if they are going to disobey their masters in Peking when it hits the fan?
The current US military leadership consists of woke sniveling bureaucrats instead of warriors and we will pay in blood and treasure because of this. When they get their asses kicked they will wail for the warriors to return and save them or meekly surrender. We will loose a carrier group more than likely due to their incompetence and war fighting training replaced with know your pronouns BS.
You’re not really sure what decade it is, are you?
I agree. They are NOT the Swiss. Not at all. A few might fight, but most will not.
Agreed. They will ratchet up a blockade like the death of a thousand cuts, using each American “provocation” as another excuse.
How are American boys (and girls) going to get to Taiwan? Fly in and risk being shot down by the People’s Air Force? By ship and risk being sunk by Chinese subs? The USN today isn’t the one we had 30 years ago. The Chinese are in their home waters—we are not? Where is the nearest base? Okinawa? Guam? We can do little but offer moral support if an invasion starts. Will we risk a Nuke war with China over her “lost Territory?” Would we risk a Nuke War if Putin Takes out Kiev with a nuke? Is one city worth total war and total destruction?
well said...
Back in the 1980's the ROC had its own nuclear weapons program which the U.S. said it sabotaged to improve relations with the communist China or People's Republic of China or PRC. Sometimes people are confused what is ROC and PRC. ROC is the Nationalists' China, PRC the communist China.
If Taiwan or ROC has developed nuclear weapons, they can hit every populated area in the eastern China.
It could be the case that the ROC developed nuclear weapons but has kept them a secret to avoid U.S. sanctions and to maintain the appearance of helpless to attract more American aid.
Could be, but this is entirely just me speculating. I don't know and no one but officials in the ROC government really knows. The U.S. and the PRC may think they know, but their knowledge is based on leaks, statements by the ROC, and the intelligence assessments.
Weird response from you. Do you dispute any of what I wrote or are you just going to post inanities?
Yes. You are decades out of date.
Nope .
What are they doing now on everything? nothing
We forced the RoC to give the mainland to the commies then stopped Chang and MacArthur from rescuing them, then along Came Jimmuh and forced them to give their council vote to the Commies. Oh well, no one ever said being our friend was easy.
True Dat, else Mitch would not be Minority Leader.
Yes. Your post was anachronistic.
I kept telling my buddy who lives at nearby Taiwan's stait he wants communist party implode, if the chicom really want to conquer remaining islands of the nationalists Chinese that would have happened several years ago or 10 years ago or 20 years ago. Chicom's don't know what Taiwanese have: nuclear weapons or neutron bombs, 1.200 mile balistic missiles, long-range standoff weapons some nukes (or neutron bombs) dropped or launched from 40,000 feet by F-CK fighter-bombers hundreds of miles, before chicom's even try a operation sea lion Taiwanese also know it from Taiwan's deep penetration operatives inside the mainland whatever or more sophisticated than that, as far as I know peaceful Chinese in the mainland China are tired of the communists' rule, they want to see the end of the communists' rule.
Remember when Mao Tse-tung (we didn't called him Mao Zedong) conquered the mainland China the communists slaughtered from 1,838,000 to 11,692,000 Nationalist Chinese, that maybe more than the Armenian genocide? In the mainland China today most Chinese know the communist radicals slaughtered their blood brothers blood sisters reading their critical past in the internet and because of the still draconian communists' Covid-19 enforcement many are now disgruntled with their communist rule government, I saw video footages of defiant hungry citizens in Shanghai when they couldn't even go buy food.
Whoever PLA's would go attack, conquer and to kill their blood brothers blood sisters mostly don't know their bloody history, I think many PLA's know.
If PRC would start war with their peaceful blood brothers blood sisters the ROC's are prepared to fight to death if they mostly die anyway if the PLA's will conquer their land. Ukraine government didn't know Russians would invade them, before PLA's get in their shores Taiwanese already saw via satellite the PLA's are coming, their ICBM's in the silos are prepared and armed. If Taiwanese have 2,000 kilometers range ballistic missiles, what do you think their warheads? Nope, not popcorn?
