It is the USA that controls the Straights of Taiwan.....with 2 of these:
/*
What,
did you redefine “ controls” ?
Cuz CCP just spent 3 days ,
with amphibious assets also btw,
controlling those straights with
LIVE FIRE exercises.
Our navy controlled zero
except their pronouns.
War is not what it used to be.
You have to understand the motivation of senior officers. Extraordinary promotion opportunities only occur when there is glory, so they seek circumstances of glory.
War, in contrast, no longer need be glory.
Oil is civilization’s lifeblood. Taiwan has none. They import every drop. They move food from point A to point B with oil.
Interdict oil and the enemy surrenders in a matter of days-to-weeks because they can’t move food.
There is no invasion. There is no glory. But there are exercises and training this or that.
Ignore it. That’s not how Taiwan will be crushed. There will be very little bloodshed.
Figure it out. We have a tube. Both ends need a cork.
We have continuous Sat surveillance so detailed it can read a license plate for nav. input into those missiles.
You think China is going to invade with 400 cruise missiles ready for release within a time frame of 20 minutes.
That’s if traitor Joe has them on station, mind you.
All that would be left is Moo Goo Gai Pan and a few burning hulks on the way down emitting the distinct scent of burning bamboo.

During the Obama years, our fleet shrunk to a 100-year low, even as China was building its navy with unprecedented speed
China has built the world’s largest navy and is continuing to add stunning capabilities each year. Chinese ships are rolling off the docks at a rate that far surpasses our current capacity and which will leave our allies, especially Taiwan, highly vulnerable. Beijing is watching to see how we respond.
( we focused on pronoun building )
With threats growing every day, it is time for the Biden administration to demonstrate its commitment to a superior Navy by proposing an immediate and substantial shipbuilding effort. Our nation can either benefit from the beginning of a broad bipartisan consensus, or continue trudging along with the bare minimum needed to satisfy short-term considerations – taking on added security risks in the process.
