"The purpose of this drill is to strengthen security and its foundations in the region, and to expand multilateral cooperation between the three countries to jointly support world peace, maritime security and create a maritime community with a common future," the Iranian official told ISNA.

Both navies from Iran's armed forces and Revolutionary Guards will take part in the drills, which include various tactical exercises such as rescuing a burning vessel, releasing a hijacked vessel, and shooting at air targets at night.

China Russia and Iran— the new Axis of Evil. They all would love to take a crack at America, and if the Wests reaction to invasion goes toward economic sanctions, don’t expect them to go down without a fight.

Biden is SO weak and CORRUPT!

He is that, but, he's a lot more than that.

He's with them.

In fact, Biden is going to help hem achieve their goals. First up, he has already given the Russian the go-ahead to invade Ukraine. Ne has also shown the Chinese that he's not going to block them from achieving their goals, and Taiwan is easy pickings for China. Iran is holding out for a better deal than what they got from Obama, and they will get it.

What we have is a traitorous president and a traitorous democrat party that doesn't care what is happening to the country. Terrorists have, no doubt, already entered our country through the Mexican border. It's just a matter of time before they strike us again.

And, the country is being turned into a socialist/communist country, which makes Russia and China partners with us as far as the direction of the country. Therefore, to democrats and Biden, Russia and China and Iran, are not our enemies.

tactical exercises such as rescuing a burning vessel, releasing a hijacked vessel, and shooting at air targets at night.

So to translate: How to set a vessel on fire, how to
assault a vessel and how to down aircraft at night.

Iran?

Why not? They've already proven that they can capture our sailors and turn them into crying little bitches. You think we've toughened up since that time under the woke leadership of purple haired lesbians?

Taiwan is easy pickings for China.


Wrong.

Taiwan is a fortress and they have had over 70 years to prepare. They say with war that the aggressors has to have two things to go to war, a willingness for war and the ability to fight a war. China might be willing but I doubt they have the ability.

The main problem for China is that there are only two times in a year the weather would be suitable for an invasion and even if the weather was good there are only a few places and invasion could land.

It took the allies almost two year of preparation before D Day in WWII. For China to invade Taiwan they would have to begin preparation months if not years. Once that preparation began Taiwan would know and begin their own preparation.

Another factor is money. China is not as wealthy as the image they project. The virus they released on the world is causing untold damage to the Chinese economy, the river of western money into China is drying up. They can not sell what they can not make or ship.

Lastly - Taiwan is not standing alone. Invade Taiwan and China will face a number of nations (Japan, Viet Nam, Australia, Philippians and India). These allies would not have fight, simply block China shipping.

So no, it is not likely that China will invade Taiwan (not unless they want WWIII)
