In the case of Taiwan it would take weeks to get munitions loaded onto ships and sent there even if we had them. Any invasion will be decided before that can happen. I’m afraid an amphibious invasion of Taiwan is come as you are.
I keep hearing that there are serious doubts as to whether China has the sea-lift capability to mount a credible amphibious invasion over the straits. I would think that they would know this well themselves and that is why they are trying so hard to influence upcoming elections in Taiwan? all these years of hand wringing over Taiwan’s independence from the Commie Chinese and there’s a serious risk China could reclaim Taiwan politically, without a shot fired?
Or am I misreading the tea leaves? wouldn’t be the first time.
