We created a monster.

Who is 'we'? I never voted on de industrializing the USA and lowering import tariffs to almost nil. Did you?

LOL You missed some big news in the 40s.

If this is the PRC plan, it’s a pretty bad one. They need air and naval superiority in the Taiwan straight to even think about an amphibious invasion.

Their only hope for that is to not involve the US, and an early strike on us is exactly the wrong move.

I’ve refrained from commenting on this up until now. IMHO, there is zero chance of China attempting a beach landing. Has anyone ever heard of a submarine? US has plenty. They leave no fingerprints. One submariner I know says “chicken one minute, feathers the next”. Never knew what hit them. Comment away!

Our politicians sold their souls to the devil: China. Unfortunately, Biden was not alone . . . not by a long shot.

The PLA-N and PLA-AF have enough strength to blockade Taiwan and bring to her knees in weeks.

Submariners are arrogant fellows. If friendlies track them they can never tell them about it. They think they are invisible. Not true at all.

Why didn't Truman nuke China when they invaded Korea?

Why didn't Ford drop one on Hanoi when the NVA invaded our ally, South Vietnam?

Why didn't Bush the Globalist drop one on Saddam?

Why didn't Bush the Stupid nuke the Taliban and Al-qaeda

Already lost (in terms of needing substantial repair) one Seawolf in the last couple of weeks.

I sincerely hope the Chicoms don’t attack our troops because if they do Bidet will have to send a strongly worded letter.

"We created a monster. We should of stopped doing business with them after the Berlin Wall fell. We didn’t need them to fight Russia anymore.

Yes,
big mistake, the Russians were ready to do business, they love their country. It was in shambles, Gorby got it. We didn't listen and instead we feed the beast.

I guess not many folks have read this book.

“The PLA-N and PLA-AF have enough strength to blockade Taiwan and bring to her knees in weeks.”

If Taiwan is not supported by the US and allies that is the case. The PLA could easily cut off oil and food imports to Taiwan.

But you know who else has a very vulnerable supply chain: China. The USN could just as easily cut-off China’s oil imports. Then it’s a waiting game to see which country collapses first.

it is real quiet but if anyone thinks ROC/Taiwan lacks nuclear capacity they’d best reconsider that assessment

same for Japan and, of course, USA

Not to worry, the Chinese top General would call Milley ahead of time to warn him...........right?

Hopefully if they touch America in any way, we will be furiously endeavoring to destroy the Chinese navy.

They are bogus. They know their real plan is to deter us from being involved at all.

Last thing they need is WW3 on their doorstep. But between them and Biden they might just cause it.

I don’t even think the compliant press, as hopeless as they are, would try to defend him.

You give them too much credit.
