I don't care about those squabbles.
world has changed - china is beating US economically and that's unlikely to change.
have you been to any store in US recently - what's manufactured in US? nothing - that's right.
if US starts some stupid war right now - they don't have the manufacturing industrial base anymore, in fact - China would be that country with that base.
Protecting EU for free make no sense - did you know there are BYD dealerships all over the place in europe? chinese cars - and thats supposed US ally, that allows complete chinese infiltration on its soil.
Why do you think we have military bases on 6 continents and half the countries in the fucking world.
completely different situation.
Vietnam - US was fighting against 3-rd world country. Sure with USSR/China backing, but indirect still.
When you talk about Taiwan - you are talking about directly engaging China for a Chinese island that's 60 miles from China and thousands of miles from US.
how do you picture that going?
if there is a hot war between US and China that's somehow without nuclear (again - im asking you how is it going to be without nuclear) -> none of those transports gonna reach Taiwan for resupply.
it's a simple production math - they can outbuild US in rockets probably 10 to 1 and with modern technology - none of US carriers/strike groups gonna be able to do shit. they gonna be sunk super quick.
math is not mathing - give that fucking island to China, I dont want ww3 because of it.
but its completely different situation.
those were 3rd word countries that were without any strong party backing.
with Taiwan - what's your plan? openly engage China? start ww3 over Taiwan?
this is - i'm sorry - this is fucking nuts.
US can't win that even with conventional weapons, those transports gonna be sunk before getting anywhere close to Taiwan.
What a cunt
