If the US military gets bogged down in the middle east, how likely is it that the PLA will take the opportunity to zerg rush Formosa while everyone is distracted? Are they just waiting for the moment or are they still building Overlords?

>>64881582Honestly, while China might, emphasis on MIGHT be stupid enough to try it, I don't think it'd go well for them even if America doesn't do anything major. Consider how Russia was perceived before the Ukraine debacle. Sure, lots of people here will claim they "always knew it was a failed state" or some-such hot air, but the truth is Russia, especially its military capabilities, was severely overestimated. They had already gotten away with one land grab in Crimea. Even as a glorified petrostate, it was able to project an effective image as a genuine regional power. A step down from the USSR at its heyday, but considering all the territory they had lost, that's not bad at all. Putin was certainly a corrupt oligarch, a dictator in all but name, but he came off as cunning at least. Well-spoken even, if you knew Russian. But of course, as we know now, it was all a mirage. Their army looked worthy, but it turns out that was only skin-deep. There was immense corruption that had completely taken the innards out of their military and when they went for anything larger than a quick blitz salami slice, they find themselves struggling to take on a country a fraction of their size. While China is objectively much more populous and wealthier than Russia, I'd wager they've got a similar issue going on. If anything, their military might be an even larger paper tiger than Russia, as the PLA has less combat experience besides stick-fighting with India. Not to mention, Taiwan is a much harder target to invade than Ukraine. It's why the communists didn't take it in the civil war in the first place. If the Chinese are foolish enough to try to full-on invade Taiwan, they'll suffer a catastrophically pyrrhic victory at best. If they're smart, they'll just try to institutionally capture Taiwan in 20-50 years via corruption and buying politicians/officials.
>>64883122>Well-spoken even, if you knew Russian.I'm not russian but speaking in gopnik slang isn't what I would call "well-spoken". It would be like if Trump started talking like Tony Soprano.
>>64883148I'd consider it more Don Corleone than Tony Soprano.
>>64881582>If the US military gets bogged down in the middle eastbogged down with what?not even 1 american wants a war vs Iran, all trump can do is pretend to send some planes to iran and thats it.no boots on the ground.
>>64883156There'll be some delta boots for the snatch.
>>64883192most probably not, iran isnt venezuela.
>>64883207You mean there won't be any boots on the ground, or there will be but iran is too weak for it to pose a risk

>>64883156>>64883191>>64883259>>64883328Why do you keep using this exact stock phrase? It's fucking weird.
>>64883020Nasty little brute of a mod!>>64883906Rise of the Reddit, not much better!
>>64883927It's not even proper English. Native speakers typically write any number that's ten or less out in letters, not with the numeral. Once could be written off as laziness but he's done the exact same thing dozens of times over the past week. I guess whatever third world shithole shill farm he comes from couldn't be bothered to proofread the script.
>>64881582Here's the problem everyone ignores. China can't afford a war with Taiwan. China will get embargoed the way the Chinese are going to try and embargo Taiwan. The Malacca strait and Panama will close to Chinese shipping. China will lose access to Europe and the Americas. China's economy will implode, overnight. Generations of Chinese sacrifice and savings will be wiped out by the decisions of a corrupt oligarch. Amassed PLA troops are likely to get nuked. If China amasses troops for an invasion and it's entire army is wiped out, that's game over. It doesn't matter how China retaliates, the PLA is the source of their power.
>>64883156>not even 1 american wants a war vs IranCool it with the antisemitism.>>64883408Just because Iran is weak and doesn't pose a risk is not an excuse to leave them alone. They must be invaded to the fullest extent of the US's ability. How else would the US be safe?

>>64881582Honestly only the USA has said they will fight for Taiwan and the current admin is extremely open to bribery to act agaisnt national security interests (AI GPUs to Qatar after airliner gift) so I think China will just bribe Trump before invading.
>>64883950True, I mean what's the point of having a military if we're not going to use it?
>>64883977>>64883985GLA units had the best voices.Fucking 2 decades later, and I still hear certain unit quotes in my head when I'm reminded.

>>64884293my superiority has led to some controversy
>>64883945There doesn't even really need to be a formal embargo cause issues for China. A simple matter of "there is going to be a shooting war in the SCS and anyone transiting is likely going to be considered either a combatant or enemy materiel" is going to be enough to skyrocket shipping insurance rates - or see no one willing to risk insuring ships at all.
>>64884426>>64883945I assume when you say, in the passive voice, "China will GET embargoed", you mean, the United States Navy will actively attack Chinese merchant shipsIt is highly unlikely China will see it as a passive event that "just happens", what you are saying is "the US will declare war on China". But you're saying it in a weasel worded way because you know it's at best 50/50 that the US will step in under this administration. At best.
>>64881582Infantry general is the strongest China general though.Tank is the most useless.
>>64884562Nta but I assumed he just meant the same style of sanctions that were put on Russia by the US and EU, not letting chink ships through Panama etc. Although they did use the word 'embargo' so maybe not. But I don't think there would be much need for the West to attack ships in the scs if they are all headed to Western waters anyway
>>64884753I don't think that would do much to dissuade them, they're banking on the idea that once the shells start flying, the fall of Taiwan is a foregone conclusion and it's better for everyone to make it as bloodless as possible. If you knew for a fact that Taiwan was getting overrun either way, would you embrace negative growth for the next 5 years just to make a point? Say you're a politician, do you think your voters will agree with you?Just going "oh yeah! well now you can't use the Panama Canal!!" is the equivalent of a sternly worded letter, especially considering the average container ship is far too large to do that anyway. They have to expect Chinese flagged ships to get Belgrano'd en masse if they make a move, or it's just "acceptable losses". A couple of seized container ships is nothing compared to what they'd lose on a full scale amphibious invasion.
>>64884761Just a point of correction, it is not true that the average container ship is too big to transit the Panama canal. The 400 meter ULCCs are, but they don't work the western hemisphere anyway. The 360 meter VLCCs are the largest that visit American ports and they can transit the Panama after the lock size increase.

>>64884761>>64884753The calculus and stakes for Taiwan are a little different from the Ukraine.In the Ukrainian case the Budapest Memorandum was "Give Russia your nukes in return from a guarantee from them not to invade you etc" where the parties were the possible belligerents and the others were observers/underwriters.In the Taiwanese case, America ended the Taiwanese nuclear weapons program, not China, in return for security guarantees. The Ukraine falling due to inaction from undersignatories would guarantee every middle power in the world would develop a fast break out capability.Taiwan falling due to inaction from America would basically guarantee that no one would ever do a deal with America again, and every middle power would develop multiple secret WMD programs that could never be simultaneously be shut down, with only one publicly acknowledged WMD capability for deterrence.

>>64885118To be honest senpai making deals with America has not worked out well for a lot of people, ever heard of the Rescission Act? Or look at all the Afghans who helped us who we proceeded to throw to the wolves as soon as they were no longer useful.We've probably lost most of our most useful CIA humint assets thanks to pepe le pew getting crowned as DNI and putting all the names in a spreadsheet and emailing it to whoever gave Kode with Klossie a million dollars.
