We, IMHO, have ZERO chance of winning a war against China. We have no production. We have a narcotic ridden society. We don’t have a youth that is capable. We no longer train marksman, we train people in gender. Their is no battlefield mentality, and IQ have precipitously dropped here in the US.
I am a little stunned, with Joe Biden in their back pocket, they haven’t gone an invaded Taiwan already. I think the Ukraine war gave them pause.
They really don’t need to. Just buy off the billionaires, rig a couple of elections, and follow the Hong Kong model. There is so much cross-strait commerce already that Taiwan’s elites aren’t going to jeopardize their lifestyles by entering a shooting war - no matter how the citizens feel abou it.
It may be that there will be no shooting war for Taiwan. China believes it has already bought it. With enough play-acting and nuke rattling it may well drop into their lap. All they need militarily is a blockade which will weaken us because we lose access to Taiwan’s microchip production. It is even money whether we will seriously challenge a blockade. More likely is “sanctions” and allowing Taiwan to strangle or surrender.
