“Could the US defend Taiwan in it’s current naval state?”
Of course, because the US Military is INVINCIBLE!!!!
Otherwise we would have taken China’s huge military buildup seriously, instead of cutting our military in HALF during the same time period.
But don’t worry, the Tweepers here will tell us the same thing that the Zeepers (likely the same accounts) told us about Ukraine during the summer of 2023, which was that Ukraine, equipped with the best Western WonderWeapons, will cut through the Russian military like a knife through soft butter (during their ‘Greatest Counter Offensive’). In the case a China, a few bombing runs from one of our carriers (before China sinks it with their hypersonics, by they way) will bring China to its knees.
We have a multimillion man army too now, they just came over the border. We can tell them “more good stuff attacking china”....
