They take out our carriers, we nuke China. So this article is BS. Their only play is to go after Taiwan.

Yes. To me, their best play right now is to just go into Taiwan and count on us to do nothing to defend it (maybe we send money, and arms ala Ukraine). I honestly don't think they're dumb enough to hit us Pearl-style.

Or the Chinese just pull strings in multiple domains of warfare, and cause the economic collapse of Taiwan and social unrest

The Taiwanese population ..2/3 to 3/4…have family and commercial ties to the Mainland or otherwise and will not support being turned into another US proxy to be fed into a superpower meatgrinder by a “pro-independence” Pelosi-wannabe president
