If China invades, Biden will fiddle while Taiwan burns
American Thinker ^ | 25 Apr, 2021 | Liam Brooks

What will Biden do if the PRC does indeed invade Taiwan? Considering the administration's wide-ranging financial ties with China -- as well as possible blackmail evidence pertaining to Hunter Biden's alleged interest in young Chinese girls -- not much.

With the domestic madness currently dominating the United States, many Americans are unaware of international issues that could potentially inflict even further damage to this once-great Republic. A major point of concern is Taiwan, and whether the People's Republic of China (PRC) is getting ready to invade. The island's strategic location is very important to the United States for both military and economic concerns.

Taiwan has been a strong US ally for decades, but China has never recognized it as a sovereign nation. They basically consider it a rogue province that needs to have a good spanking before it's pulled back into the fold. Historically, the US has kept Taiwan under its wing. We provide them with weapons and routinely hold massive military maneuvers in the region, an obvious message to China to "keep your hands off!" Despite occasional small-time flexing of China's military muscle, the strategy has pretty much worked.

But signs that the tide is starting to turn have been evident since Joe Biden took office. Earlier this month, China conducted simultaneous large military exercises to the east and west of Taiwan, as well as live-fire drills off the coast as a US delegation was visiting the island. It was far more aggressive behavior than usual. And if your political IQ is higher than President Asterisk's age, you probably have a pretty good idea as to why the commies are acting this way.

If America stands by and does little. There will be a ne nuclear arms race in SE Asia. Particularly Japan and South Korea, but Australia is not out of the question.

Oh.

I read this wrong.

I thought it said "If China invades, Biden will fiddle while AMERICA burns", and I was wondering if he thought the Chicoms would keep him on as a figurehead or dispense with that altogether.

The Chinese will move with a slow deliberation after the Olympic Games. Before the new GOP Congress takes over in January 2023, they will move on Taiwan. My bet July of 2022 with a full land, air, Space, and sea operation. They will move so fast we will have little time to re-act. Biden will slow things down and not act until the Chinese are in full control of the Island. Media will be their helpers—preaching a hard line CCP Propaganda line 24/7. A Hong-Kong Like Treaty will ensure Taiwan “Independence” in economy.

Commie Joe Biden won’t be fiddling while Taiwan burns.He’ll be sleeping.

Sort of like what happened when the allies invaded fortress Europe.the Nazi General staff wanted to move armor to the allied landing zones on the beach but couldn’t do it because Hitler’s staff were afraid to wake him up.

If they had the capacity to do it, it would already be done.

I think there will be a series of sharp air & naval battles where Taiwan’s forces will be ground down at which point Taiwan will surrender relatively intact.

They have been steadily building the capacity, but the incapacity of Senile Joe Biden opens a window of opportunity they will fly through.

“They have been steadily building the capacity”

It’s not built.

Few understand, at an institutional level, what it takes to move an army across open ocean and land it against a determined, dug in foe.

5,000 missiles are of little help.

Keeping your ships afloat and getting your men to charge out sounds simple. It’s not.

And without BBs, nearly impossible to soften the beach.

Absolute air and sea dominance is but the first prerequisite.

Maybe Biden and his commie goons don’t know Taiwan makes most of the chips for our high tech economy...

The United States will abandon all honor when it greenlights the Chicom invasion of Taiwan and other territorial conquests.

The Obidens and Deep State are making too much money to upset the arrangement.

From the article:

<>Take Taiwan and you demolish American prestige in the region and globally. The successful conquest of Taiwan will leave a “clear and searing” message: The US military, its arsenal of nuclear weapons, and the threat of financial and economic sanctions could not stop the PRC.<>

Chicom conquest will mark the apogee of American worldwide influence and power. It will be all downhill from there.

The PLAAF and the PLAN will blockade Taiwan first. No need to invade.

Taiwan almost certainly has nuclear weapons and the means of accurately delivering them to mainland cities.

But they won't do that under any circumstance.
