Date: May 13th, 2024 9:37 AM Author: bisexual brindle office hominid A land invasion of Taiwan would be difficult. Mountainous terrain and armed to the teeth. China would have to absorb WW2 Pacific/D-Day/Sicily style casualties, unless they blockade and/or bomb it to hell. That would cause massive international condemnation, which China would like to avoid since they like to portray themselves as peaceful, non-imperialist etc. Though maybe they’ve reached the point where they don’t care about international disapproval, in which case goodbye Taiwan.

Date: May 13th, 2024 9:54 AM Author: citrine mad-dog skullcap I agree if we are talking about Taiwan proper. but I had no fucking idea they had some islands basically a stone’s throw from the chink mainland (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5528002&forum_id=2#47657397) |

Date: May 13th, 2024 1:58 PM Author: citrine mad-dog skullcap I agree that Taiwan proper is a critical interest (at least for now) but lmao at starting a war over some islands that are this close to China (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5528002&forum_id=2#47658016) |

Date: May 13th, 2024 2:01 PM Author: know-it-all snowy crotch The fact that China hasn't even bothered seizing these islands on some pretext in the past 60 years, imo, indicates that their odds of invading Taiwan itself are a lot lower than estimated by war hawks.

Date: May 13th, 2024 2:03 PM Author: Provocative Boiling Water Mad Cow Disease there is literally a 0% chance of china ever "invading" taiwan. even if the united states didn't exist, they would not "invade" taiwan
the entire "dynamic" is pretend kabuki theater that enriches the politicians, militaries, and weapons manufacturers associated with all parties involved |
