>>532385454After seeing how badly the USA performed in Iran, I am no longer worried about Taiwan. China has a much worse military, full of corruption and retarded commanders. And Taiwan is much more better prepared to defend itself.
>>532385454you forget that Trump would help China attack Taiwan.
>>532385454US will blame Trump, say 4-10 years from now and China gets to keep Taiwan.
>>532385454This plane took 8 days to cross ~100 miles
>>532385454So do it. What are you scared of?
Is this the new mudslime shitskin cope?
>>532385454Please do this now, Chinks. I have seen a lot of gore in my life but I want to see what happens to a pla member melting in white phosphor because we will use it to defend the tsm.
>>532385454Taiwan's military defense would always be hopeless, "depleted" US or no.The issue is that attacking them destroys the whole reason that they are valuable to China, that's a better and the only real deterrent they ever had.
>>532386110lol, monkey iq
>>532385454Their oil deposits say otherwise
>>532385454Or they could just do nothing and let Taiwan come crawling back to them in a few years.
>>532386376is that what you're waiting for your ex to do?
>>532385730we didnt perform badly though. this is a major pr loss based on the fact literally nobody wanted this shit. it doesnt matter that we gulf war'd them when everybody who is sane is screaming and refusing to support this insanity.iran is winning because it doesnt matter how many politicians we kill, theyll just be replaced and the iranian spirit wont be extinguished. it doesnt matter how asymmetric this pounding is, just like vietnam.the situation with taiwan is completely fucked. the taiwanese government is half ccp-owned and most of the rest have no backbone. very, very few people care enough about sovereignty enough to put up much of a fight because the sovereignty is on paper only to begin with. meanwhile the random chinese npcs all would feverently support an invasion of taiwan, and would not give a shit about 4 shot down planes.
>>532386928Your satanic empire is done for, cletus.
>>532385454How is the US military depleted?
>>532386110Lol
>>532385454the Iran and Ukraine wars have proven missile defence to be totally useless.i doubt china would be dumb enough to get bogged down in a missile exchange now, especially with the 3 gorge damn within range of Taiwan missiles.they will just buy Taiwan with oil and power.
>>532386311> Taiwan's military defense would always be hopeless, "depleted" US or no.Taiwan cannot protect itself long term. It has the ability in theory to defend itself long enough for the US to intervene. Theoretically if the US is not tied up in other issues I think the expert consensus is that the US still has significant military superiority over China. >The issue is that attacking them destroys the whole reason that they are valuable to China, that's a better and the only real deterrent they ever had.China wants Taiwan because they consider it part of their territory. The loss of Taiwan has been an issue of national pride and humiliation all the way back to 1895 when Japan took Taiwan from China. The island itself is the valuable thing.
>>532385454YELLOW PERIL FUCK CHYNA FUCK CHINKS
>>532385730Insane cope
>>532385454Taiwan has an army too
>>532385454As someone that's been to Taiwan, this plan seems like shit. Besides a couple airports on the east coast, it's literally nothing but sea and then mountains right away.go for Taipei, Kaosiung and other ports and military bases first.
>>532385454YELLOW PERIL FUCK CHINKS FUCK CHYNA
>>532390510I think the third gulf war has shown that the emperor has no clothes and that US has no viable response to missile or drone spam. It's a cool navy that you have but it's been fucking useless hasn't it? Carrier strike groups have been relegated into functioning as the world's most expensive cuck-chairs essentially.
The cost to China would be significant, it would take months if not years and China would face sanctions, if China did this we could see the rest of the 21st century be somebody else's other than China or the US
>>532385454But why would they? Military invasion isn't necessary. With the US collapsing and China getting more and more economically powerful, it's only a matter of time before Taiwan peacefully and willingly joins China.
>>532385454>depletedAs long as this anon is alive and kicking, someone will be around to push the button on the buggmenn.
>>532389816It's going to take 14 years to rebuild all the munitions we've fired at Iran so far. We are depleted and it only took 30 days of fighting for it to happen.
>Russia shuts its bed in Ukraine >America flails in Iran>I know, we should invade this island, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG
you watched russia lose in ukraine you watched america struggle to fight iran why do you think china who argubly has the hardest task of all, a fucking modern day D-DAY, would fair any better? the days of great powers invading smaller ones with their military and taking over is over. if you want to control territory you mass migrate there.
>>532385730>eliminated the entire military and ruling class of a major regional power preparing for war with you for 50 years within a month and only lost just over a dozen peopleWhat would be "good performance" in your book?
>>532386110Pretty retarded animation, if you ask me. If china ever really decided to do this, they would throw 10 million dudes at taiwan and basically zerg rush them and use overwhelming force. That, plus artillery and missiles n stuff. It would basically be over in a single day.
>>532385454You have a fundamental misunderstanding because China does not want to use military force to take Taiwan Look at Hong Kong, it was effectively just a bureaucratic takeover, it was the CIA causing riots to try and stop it. If the CCP takes over Taiwan by force it undermines their claim that they’re the real China
>>532390928>>532391561Post all your infographics please.
>>532385454They would only do that if they felt like it was necessary to take Taiwan and worth it to take Taiwan. The way things are going, as China grows more powerful and internationally imposing, and US global influence diminishes, they probably believe Taiwan will one day willingly join China, or become an Independent appendage with total allegiance to China. But maybe they will take it for power projection, like we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki when it wasn't necessary to demonstrate that we could. Still, China has a kind of pragmatism that America hasn't had for a very long time. I honestly think they'll just wait and continue winning by doing nothing.
>>532393812I think its insane to think the chinese would even attack themselves like that and they would view it as a total waste (which it is).
>>532385454chinas strategy is just to let america collapse and try to lure taiwan back into the fold as a better alternative the KMT already made a block that gives them control of parliament essentially, china likes the status quo by hostage and if anybody speaks out and says taiwan is independent they just cut them off from trade very powerful
>>532385454How they gonna do that with their brown water navy and 1980s military?
>>532386928>>532392787I think that's their point, hence say China isn't a threat.
>>532385454when nancy pelosi goes all in on samsung and intel, you'll know it's time
>>532385454Slaughter the migger Taiwan gubmints and replace it with the ccp
>>532385454The china is weak and afraid, they will never do it.
>>532385454Don't worry, Israel will take down China before they even start.
>>532386259China already knows that as long as muttmerica gets their chips for their iPhones so they can watch brown goblins rape and kill white children they'll let China own Taiwan. Just give the mutt his burger
China's military has this little scandal where the underpaid soldiers sell fuel. It's pretty funny.
>>532385454>invade Taiwan when the US is already positioned to blockade their oilGuess how I know you're a humanities student.
>>532392787Opening the hormussy.
>>532398925They don't have the logistics for it. Their military is for show and for use against their own people, not for expanding its power. They suffer casualties while chasing little boats around.
>>532385454The funny thing China is doing is offering Taiwan fuel at a discount so that its economy doesn't completely collapse.
>>532385454PLAN can't even do peacetime ops without sinking their ships. How are they going to dream of crossing the straight under fire?
>>532385454who said the military is depleted? the US lost a few planes and damaged a few warships.talk to russia if you want to see what a depleted massive military looks like.
They lost 20k dudes in 3 weeks invading Vietnam in 1979.
>>532386928Is only a PR loss because the media hates Trump. If this happened under any democrat president it would be the greatest and most necessary military intervention ever.
>>532385454While I do think now would be a good time for them to pull it off, we've seen how good drones hold off major powers and Taiwan will have been working with Ukraine for a while now, so may actually defend it.The thing for china is, if they invade, they are admitting Taiwan wasn't theirs. If they don't invade they can keep saying it is theirs.I think china is developing the best anti-drone tech they can atm,

>>532385730Masterful inversion, Chiam. Your old Yesheva is mounting a picture of you on their wall of heroes. Please remember to donate to the alumni association.
>>532391220Yeah, I know: we built it.
Why the fuck would China invade Taiwan ?I don't understand this mutt fantasy.Even assuming they'd want to, invading a well-defended island, especially in this day and age, is way too complicated and costly.
>>532401061Pretty funny that this subhuman is unemployed now
>>532385454It'd be funnier if they took back Taiwan via diplomacy now that Taiwan knows we won't do shit, Euros wont do shit, Straya won't do shit, Nippon-desu won't do shit.
>>532399203What if you don't actually want the Hormussy opened, and you're just saying you do as an excuse to continue blowing shit up? Because if Hormuz opens, then we have to scale down our attacks, and I don't think Trump and Israel actually want that. Keeping the straight closed is in our best interests.
