Pretty tough talk there...I am assuming you are an Armchair General? In case you failed to miss the point, my scenario (based on the drip, drip, drip of news stories that relate to this) is that China and Russia join forces against the U.S. to take Taiwan. They've been a little too chummy for my taste lately and China has been flat out arrogant in their sabre rattling in the last few years.
As you may know, the Russians refused the Chinese demands that the recent Exercises be held near Taiwan, and the PLA hardly allowed the Russians any close viewing of their forces....It was more like two seperate activities side by side....I heard comment that the Russians will stay out of any Taiwan war....The Russian PEOPLE don't want their forces to attack Taiwan with China....BUT, what I'm saying is that IF there is a surprise attack of Taiwan, the US would stop it conventionally and then IF the hot ones among the PLA sent nuke missles our way we would deliver a similar return package to the point where there caves wouldn't save them....Oh, I figure also that most of us pounding on these keys are sitting in armchairs, but I have never fired a shot in anger.... Anyway, this is the best forum on the net and I hope it continues....
