A mostly peaceful war.

Nothing to be concerned about.

The question is will they invade Taiwan first or dominate their neighbors more.

I don’t know how reliable it is, but I heard a rumor that green card holders and illegals will be drafted first.

Here’s an idea: Let Taiwan defend themselves and see how much damage they can inflict. You never know what might happen.

Maybe for the Home Guard because they wouldn’t have any qualms about firing on American Patriots like the regular military and NG MIGHT.

Taiwan is not asleep at the wheel. They are fully aware of the situation and prepared to deal with it. That being said we are entering a dangerous period. A lot of people don’t see why Taiwan is important to us. They need to study history and geopolitics.

I always thought they’d go on a “charm offensive” and maneuver Taiwan diplomatically to the point where they freely and popularly would want to rejoin with the manland.

I don’t think going on a war footing will get them there. But who knows what they could accomplish while Biden and Harris are in office?

Taiwan was the only country in the world that immediately realized the BS the Mainland was sending out about the China virus.

They immediately locked down their country and have largely protected it from the China virus.

I don’t think the charm offensive works any more in light of what they have done in Hong Kong.

I have worked with with Taiwan military personnel in the past. They are very courageous and dedicated.

Order the military to prepare for war.

Again??!

They just did that about 4 weeks ago.

No worries.

China has no martial history, and no institutional memory of warfighting.

They’ll not have much success.
