I will argue that based on information currently available, the navies of many nations acting in concert will thwart any invasion. The invasion effort will be ended before troops are actually landed
The navies involved are USA, Australia, India, Japan, the Netherlands, the UK, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and South Korea. and there may be others as well.
That fact is well known to China
That certainly seems plausible. Typo on “comparison” in the top line.
How can the rest of the world — or more accurately the rest of the world that cares — defend Taiwan? I have a similar ignorance about Ukraine.
I agree that China will not mount an amphibious invasion of Taiwan. It is still my estimation that they’re using the Taiwan issue as a feint to cover their mobilization for a fall invasion of Siberia.
That would make the winter work for China because the Russians would be forced to pivot from Ukraine and cross 4500 miles by rail to get to Vladivostok. And much of that railway is within handy striking distance of the Chinese border.
I will also say that I’ve gone from thinking this would happen at some unknown future date to estimating that it will happen by November of this year.
I have been saying on this site, for YEARS, China does not have the ability to invade Taiwan.
90 miles of open water may as well be an entire ocean.
I always thought China would play the long game with a naval blockade
Interesting logic from Russia’s favorite fan club of FR.
When they aren’t claiming that Russia’s attack is a hoax or a coordinated false flag to destroy “globohomo” and Soros, they are claiming that Ukraine’s resistance is doomed and Russia will steamroll them.
However, when Taiwan is the subject of an invasion, it will be “difficult” and virtually impossible for China to succeed in subduing Taiwan.
Funny indeed.
hope that transponder pings the right code so the china fighters know who they are shooting down ......
