As usual c_c forgets America has the same aimed at Russia and he doesn’t think that Russians might also consider that as a threat to their existence just as we do.

It is called MAD.

Taiwan needs to beef up their antiacraft capabilities as well.

"China should flood Siberia with Chinese people, millions of them. Beat pooty at his own game..."

Russia is not going to accept demographic genocide and will use nuclear weapons against any mass invasion from China. Unlike America's garbage leadership, Putin doesn't hate his own citizens with a white hot passion and will not rip open its own border to subjug are its legacy citizens.

Zeepers are genocidal morons.

It’s not even Russia’s nukes, they are left over from the USSR, which WAS a threat to us, and which the left adored.

I pooh-poohed them for years, but I know for a fact my mind was not keeping up with the technology for the last few years. I was probably stuck still thinking of them as U-Boats...:)

For a country that has limited areas to defend its own sealanes in, I understand the ones they make now are very good. Granted, they don’t have the endurance fuel-wise of a nuclear sub, but they have been able to make them far quieter and quite stealthy for less money.

Still a fan of nuclear, though!

For Taiwan diesel-electric boats make perfect sense.

UK, France, and Israel all have nukes too, but none of theirs are aimed at America

that’s why we consider them friends

but Russia, China, and NK do have nukes aimed at America

that’s why we consider them enemies

(since you can’t understand that, fortunately, you’re not in charge)

"so you're deliberately ignoring those 10,000 nuclear-warhead missiles Russia has aimed at America?"
so you're deliberately ignoring those 10,000 nuclear-warhead missiles Russia has aimed at America?"

Why not? Every idiot Zeeper ignores Russia's nuclear weapons every day. When you bring them up to a Zeeper idiot they often reply that Russia's nukes will not work like trained parrots.

I think everyone would agree Taiwan is going to be in an untenable position should the ChiComs invade, especially with our government as it is. They can expect no help from us. We already cannot afford it, we are so far in debt that every dollar spent is a dollar borrowed, with interest. (I just read where our interest payments alone this year will be nearly 700 billion dollars. Wow. That means we are broke.)

But that doesn’t mean they should not prepare (except to prepare to roll over as many Leftists and ChiCom sympathizers would like them to do) to defend themselves and make it as costly as possible.

Granted, to a totalitarian country with nearly 1.5 billion people whose lives mean absolutely nothing to the CCP except as a means to keep power, taking out a transport and losing 5,000 soldiers is no big deal to them, but still.

I am sure Taiwan is inspired by the idea of having Chinese troops occupying the eastern part of their country...lol.

Taiwan is an island; Ukraine is not. Big difference.

Taiwan has little agricultural land and can’t feed itself.

Taiwan depends on exporting manufactured goods made in very sophisticated, easily destroyed factories using imported materials.

....goods that used to be made in the USA. So the upside to the war will be reshoring of vital industries. Not a bad trade off.

Taiwan has the assistance of twenty seven navies patrolling the East and South China seas

No, a “man” who is ripping my country apart and humilliating is, while you worry about Russia.

No, It isn’t going to happen because America still can’t be competitive with foreign manufacturers.

You Zeeps aren’t Americans because you can’t see what is happening in America.

Yes, I’ve long suspected that most of the Zeepers are foreigners, pretending to be Americans. At least the Canadian guy admits he’s a foreigner as he supports our tax dollars being plundered by leftist crooks to support a known money-laundering operation.

We get in a hot war with the ChiComs ( your handlers ) first thing is all Free Traitors™ will be rounded up and presumably hanged. Then all industry will be coming back. The American people will not except any more globalist shenanigans. IMO: You Free Traitors™ are playing a dangerous game.

As seen in the Black Sea, surface ships are easy targets when patrolling near land based air power, anti-ship missiles and drones, and semi-submersible drones.
