Sure, and all their weapons work 100%, while we have nothing to answer theirs, and what we do have won't work when "manned" by WOKE crews undergoing transgender surgery, right?
My guess is you are too pessimistic about our side, too "optimistic" about theirs.
I'll give you this: for certain, we need better leadership at the very top.
Why would a conventional attack on Chinese soil trigger a nuclear attack on American soil?
They would just target all of our aircraft carriers with conventional ICBMs.
Yes they do!
$Big (Big Money) are salivating over the fire sale of America once we are destroyed and the Whites eradicated.
The Biden admin doesn’t seem at all inclined to extend full diplomatic recognition. Especially when Taiwan has STILL not declared independence.
China will never accomplish a amphibious landing on Taiwan.
They sound like Americans, though in our case the ruling Democrat elites are in bed with our Chi-Com enemies, literally in some cases.
I can't speak about Taiwan's 1/3 soy-boys, but the others sound like strong nationalists.
Perhaps, but they’re certainly creating that “perception’” sufficient enough to cause instability and a sense of uncertainty.
China will just send 15 million civilian internal migrants in the first wave. Armed with cameras, megaphones, and CNN uplinks.
China is more than capable.
The first wave of containers would contain civilian migrants armed with cameras, megaphones, and CNN uplinks.
Taiwan has repeatedly claimed that they have always been an independent country and therefore does not need to claim independence.
The Chinese Communist Party has never ruled over Taiwan so why would they declare independence from it?
Sure, we should think of Chinese carriers as equivalent to US America-class assault ships -- intended to land troops, not to fight the next Battle of Midway.
What worries our FRiends here are mythological Chinese hypersonic AI missiles which can seek out our carriers from thousands of miles away and instantly vaporize them before we even know there's a war on -- sort of like Pearl Harbor updated.
I'm only saying our side is not entirely helpless against such fearsome mythological weapons.
Those of us who actually have studied world history know how King Phillip II of Spain built the largest naval fleet in the world at the time and filled the ships with a vast army to sail to and defeat England and remove Queen Elizabeth I.
It was 1588 and Spain was the premier military power of the world.
The English had a vastly inferior navy and almost no army to repel a Spanish invasion.
On paper, England had NO CHANCE.
England won without any serious Spanish force even arriving on its soil.
King Phillip II of Spain was humiliated and Spain went bankrupt not long thereafter. Spain’s status as world power leader evaporated.
China will NEVER successfully take Taiwan by force.
Even an attempt would result in a greater humiliation for China than the Spanish loss in 1588.
I say Taiwan will invite them in after a 1 year blockade.
China could probably enforce a blockade...at least to the extent that standard commercial shipping and air cargo would be stopped.
Invasion is a bridge too far for them.
90 miles of open ocean is a shooting gallery for stand off weapons. And everybody has them.
Taiwan was taken from China by Japan in 1895, about the same tie Japan conquered Korea.
After WW II, Taiwan was returned to China.
I dont think our Anti-missile capability is anywhere near being able to knock out a hypersonic ICBM.
Yes the USN would stand down because Biden would tell them to.
And if the navy engages, then we will luze at least 2 aircraft carriers because they are easier to target than a barn door.
Taiwan is not Poland 1939.
It's Austria 1938.
Why would a conventional attack on Chinese soil trigger a nuclear attack on American soil? They would just target all of our aircraft carriers with conventional ICBMs.

I tried to explain that in a previous post.
4-5 major cites totally destroyed and 400 million dead would warrant more than a strongly worded letter from any nation.
Look up the Chinese cultural concept of face - which, other than money, is a national obsession and cultural imperative.
Why would they rearm nuclear missiles with conventional warheads - that makes no sense, plus they would do only a small amount of damage, even if they could accurately target as ship doing over 60kts.
One thermal-targetted ICBM will knock out an American Aircraft Carrier without breaking a sweat. And the resulting nuclear plume of a sinking American carrier on CNN will cause sweating on the part of our ambivalent leadership.
