Dude. Nobody is going to take a headline seriously when it has an emoji in it.
I think he meant it would be a sworded affair.
No worries. - Amir is usually well ahead of the news cycle. I think this one may be an example of that. Many FReepes follow Amir on Telegram and this one may have been buried in all the Tsunami / Russia 🇷🇺 threads.
lol
Since the 1950s.
Can anyone make an estimate of Taiwan’s drone manufacturing capacity (air & sea drones)? Serious question. I think it would be considerable. The only problem is resources and logistics. Maybe they’ve already made tens of thousands and they’re in storage somewhere?
Preparing to or going to? I think if they were going to invade, they would’ve done it in the last four years.
Mmmmm. China was a great civilization for millennia. But they have never been able to project their power outside their borders.
China lost to Vietnam in 1979!
What’s a drone? /s
Touché....................

No kidding, this isn’t a site of 10 year old girls, not to mention the topic.
It’s a conversation starter.

Obviously does not include FReepers who are averse to Telegram platform - also posting here allows individuals to comment and post analysis. Telegram channel does not support dialogue
bkmk
On Trump’s watch? Say it isn’t so;-)
China will never invade Taiwan or any other country with an eye to taking it over. They have a huge cultural and social problem with it. Not mention that every war they have ever fought in modern times they lost, including Korea in the 50s.
To even approach the Chinese willingness to fight and die for the CCP, like in the 50s, is just not in the cards. China, despite the bluster and billions spend on propaganda, is just a toothless tiger that performs well in parades and not much else.
It is childish and you don’t have subscribers here.
The recent warning from Taiwan’s Deputy Foreign Minister about a potential Chinese invasion is deeply concerning—but let’s be honest: there’s not much the U.S. can realistically do if China decides to move.
We’re not going to send American troops to die in a war we likely wouldn’t win, especially in China’s backyard. Our supply chains are deeply tied to China, from electronics to pharmaceuticals, and that economic dependency limits our leverage. Sanctions? Maybe—but look at Russia. Sanctions haven’t stopped them, and they’ve arguably pushed Russia closer to countries like China, while increasing global instability.
If we go down that road with China, we risk isolating ourselves economically even further, potentially weakening the U.S. dollar and undermining our global standing. It’s a dangerous situation with no easy solutions.
