<< China will have to protect it's flank by establishing a security sphere across the Pacific the same way Japan did in WW2. There's only one stradegy that plays in the Pacific; island warfare. It will probably take Hawaii, Australia and the Eastern Pacific too before it's stopped. >>
Y'know, there are probably a few dickheads in Peking who delusionally fantasize that kind of stuff, too.
The reality is that the Peking-based predatory pack of lying, looting, mass-murdering gangster bastards that so grandiosely calls itself "china," couldn't successfully invade the FRee Republic of Taiwan.
Not even if we would let it! And any attempt by it to do so would see its peasant-pummelling puny PLA arse kicked all the way to Kunming!
A Piper PA-22-135, eh? Here's a pretty one turned from a doggy old nose dragger back into a real airplane!
