We have seen is coming for the last 10 years. China is now building its 4th aircraft Carrier. In my opinion, they want to confront or spoil a counter-attack by the United States by placing 4 aircraft carriers as a screen to keep us out while Taiwan uses its 800 javelin missiles and its older M-60 A3 tanks and other weaponry to stall the people's Republic of China's forces on the beach and in the interior while we mobilize and hopefully come to their aid. If we do not, we will let Taiwan go down in history to defeat. At the end of WW2, Mainland China was Nationalist and its military was strong from US advisors training whole Chinese Nationalist Divisions in preparation to defeat the Japanese. After the war ended, The Nationalist Armies were slowly defeated by the Communists and Former General/Secretary George Marshall hated Chang Kai Shek and he did not support the Nationalists with additional arms and ammunition while Russia was giving captured Japanese weapons and ammunition to Mao Tse Tung's Army causing the Nationalists to retreat to Taiwan by 1949.

In my book, climate change is not the biggest fear but the invasion of Taiwan which will result in climate change of 20 years of global cooling if we have a limited nuclear war. National Geographic published a story 11 years ago on this exact subject discussing how the climate would be cooled by a limited nuclear war between India and China. I have been commenting for 2 years here to forget about climate change, it will come to bite us in the behind if we get into a limited nuclear war. Taiwan also bought new F-16s and as many torpedoes they could get their hands on from Foreign Military Sales.

We had a Defense Treaty with Taiwan that expired in 1980. The PRC just took back Hong Kong, I think they will be emboldened by our internal strife from the moment George Floyd died and the cities surrendered to the leftist protests/riots and now the strife from the insurrection of the fringe right group on the Capitol. The impeachment of Former POTUS Trump may be on your minds but remember that China likes our infighting. I hope President Biden sends a show of force like past Presidents have done. Remember, North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam during the tenure of the weak Ford Administration recovering from the Watergate scandal and POTUS Nixon's resignation. My Social Worker Mother spent 3 weeks at Camp Pendleton helping resettle refugees after the fall of Saigon. We do not want a President Obama Faux line in the Sand. We will also find out if Tony Bobulinksi was right. 108 Abrams M1A2 tanks are on order but it will be about 17-25 tanks a year to Taiwan. Hopefully, POTUS does not interfere with the FMS.

No, by the time he and his civilian advisors decided anything, the Chinese would already be in control

No, Xiden will offer money and rice, to China, which will be fruitless.

Has anybody read the latest military times of how the Navy just sank a boat from 250 miles away with a drone guided missile from one of their guided missile frigates? AND, remember that the US military has had it soldiers, marines, airmen and navy personnel engaged for the last 20 years. When was the last time China has been engaged in a conflict with its soldiers. Plus, China has a conscripted army, navy, and air force. Plus remember reading the last couple of weeks about China's number of Navy vessels now outnumbers the US? How many of those vessels are combatant. I remember reading the past several months that the CCP Navy largest number of "combatant" vessels are actually Coast Guard Vessels. And if the US's allies in SEATO like the UK, Australia, Japan and so forth also assist I think China might think twice. Although we have a questionable CIC who is probably banking millions in China banks. Everything out of his mouth or every other sentence seems to be questionable.

There might be one way to get the Biden Administration to do this. Convince them that it helps "counter" the racism in the US. Also, tell them that the Trump Administration "refused" to do this.

I think that the current administration will sit on their hands until it is too late. Rather like our behavior in the opening days of WWII. Probably will refuse immigration as well. No confidence

NO. The US turned its back on Taiwan when Chang Kai Shek died. The State Dept will talk a lot, but won't support any action. Remember: We must play good together in the world's sandbox.

Unless you are China or antifa and then you get away with murder. It is sad that in 1971, China had its sights on Taiwan and the US promised to be neutral. Luckily, we still have sold a whole bunch of equipment to Taiwan over the years and their buying our best battle tank but it's gonna take about 4 years for them to get all of the 105 M1A2 Abrams tanks. Taiwan will make sure that Communist China pays for every square kilometre they get.

In order to stop the PRC we will have to destroy their fleet. They have thousands of intermediate range missiles that can reach Taiwan. Eliminating them will require attacking the Chinese Mainland. I can see casualties in the tens of millions.

The Biden Administration will likely send a letter with maybe some severe tones in it.
