It would be much easier for everyone in the Biden Administration to just Take the CASH and let China do what they want, Joe has probably already received the order.
Another blathering idiot writes an article.
Grammar was good.
A war between China and Taiwan will last about 5 min. Handlers won’t even wake Sleepy Joe for that one.
and to think... just 2 weeks ago the worst US and Chinese relations got was over trade deals.
thanks democrats.
lets make sure only the kids of democrats deploy to the region
China is currently salivating over the perceived weakness and acquiescence of American politics right now.
They’ll keep pushing that button until it’s worn out.
The only arms that could stop China would be a hydrogen bomb and a missile.
[Invasion and war is the easy part. Controlling an insurgency in a hostile island, far from the mainland with a constant need of supply chains, and with a hostile population of a quarter-million armed to the teeth, would bleed Beijing dry. ]

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a bloodbath with no quarter given. The death toll would be in the millions until the insurgency submitted. When Tibetan city-dwellers revolted against Chinese invaders after Mao took power, the PLA fell back and used artillery to level the city, then waited for the starving denizens to emerge. This was the strategy that Hafez Assad was to use so successfully to quell a Sunni revolt in the city of Hama, decades later, in the 1980’s.
This stuff isn’t rocket science. Anyone with more powerful weapons can literally kill every single person in a territory being invested. The only thing stopping them is either ethical considerations or an outside force willing to intervene. Another key consideration for not holding back is keeping friendly losses, as well as monetary costs low. Indiscriminate slaughter is cheap. Prolonged pacification efforts involving a softly-softly approach while dodging enemy attacks are expensive.
Tibetans don’t like the Chinese. But their choice was to submit or die. The ones still alive today chose survival over pride. Much of the rest lie in unmarked graves.
Ping!
I guess the author didn’t get the memo about President China.
The Chicoms have already paid Biden for Taiwan.
Biden is going to give Taiwan to the PRC.
I really hope Taiwan has invested a lot in mines and drones. They are cheap and effective. With mines Taiwan could theoretically close every Chinese port to any traffic. China imports most of its food and about 90 percent of its oil. Taiwan’s drones could create chaos all over China. They don’t have to be released from Taiwan. They could be released from shipping containers anywhere. They could be preprogrammed, semi controlled or fully controlled. All Taiwan has to do then is hunker down and survive until China asks for the mines to be turned off.
By that time, probably China will be in a full-out civil war.
The CCP is not attacking out of strength. They are threatening every neighbor because they are hoping to create an outside menace to bring the nation together under the CCP against an external threat. This is what they have done in every conflict for the past seventy years or so. I think that enough Chinese have caught on to the strategy it won’t work when everyone is starving in the dark.
What Congresscritter is going to step forward and insist that if any war is declared, the sons, daughters, and grandkids of every congresscritter and every pentagon official gets to go first?
Taiwan is US territory. We won it from Japan in 1945, and have never legally relinquished it. It’s a very inconvenient fact.
If China makes a big violent military move against Taiwan it shows their contempt for Biden. They don’t think he will do anything.
What war? China owns Biden.
Help them with a nice nuclear triad
Tactical cruise missiles, truck, plane, and sub launched.
Unless you give Taiwan nukes and the method for delivering them...all of the arms in the US arsenal would be nothing but a China-lending program.
Taiwan, Japan, India, Australia, and even Russia can fence in China if they are going imperialist.
But those are iffy questions.
Like anyone with any sense believes Biden will oppose China on anything?!
