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.

I don’t know I would hope NATO as a group stood by them. As a Republican he is my President and Commander and I will respect his decision as I have always done with every Commander

It will be less of a response than what was given Benghazi which was none.

What is with all these stupid questions lately? Of course he would! We are an ally of Taiwan, Biden said so himself. We always have warships in that region, we fly around that area, we've told China what we'll do. Probably the biggest reason why China hasn't invaded Taiwan is our deference. Our military is shifting its eye towards the Pacific and China. Anyone who says otherwise is blinded by hatred for Biden and democrats not actual facts.

The US has a policy of ambiguity. We haven't had a defense treaty with them since 1980 and President Biden just told the Russians what he considers the most vulnerable infrastructure. This man is not Bill Clinton of the 1990s. I respect Bill Clinton more even with all the scandals

President Clinton would be a moderate Democrats today like Arizona senator Sinema. President Clinton believe in closed borders and immigration reform. He didn't went out like our president is doing now. The Democratic party is leftist not liberal like it used to be.

Have you been looking at the news and seeing how many provocative flights China has been doing? China also has said it will overtake Us in 10 years and it said it will invade Taiwan if they declare independence. You have to do your homework. Also President Clinton first raise taxes then he lower taxes later in his term and his tax rate was very similar to what we have at this moment so he had a business degree and knew that lowering taxes generate more taxes to the IRS at the US government but you can't argue with a leftist that wants to eat the rich but they don't understand that the rich will leave that's why President Biden's been trying to get an international minimum corporate tax so they won't leave but that's not working because other countries like Ireland in the European Union are much more competitive than the USA will be if we raise taxes like silly President Biden wants to do.

Nope. I doubt they will come to the defense of America, either. I don't know about the President personally, but he is surrounded by an awful lot of "globalists" and America-haters.

We will build a Allied coalition. I don't know if there will be a modern day Winston Churchill who declares war on China because he views her as an evil empire. As alluded too, some of the Allied countries will commit to the fight.

I will go into the geographic disparity of China and the US. There are no Islands close to the US that China can use for logistics and attacking the US mainland. However, in the Pacific area there exists many islands and island countries to include countries in the Asian continent that we can use for logistics and to attack from. I will safely assume more Asian countries trust us more than China.

My prediction should China attack Taiwan is it will overwhelm the little country relatively quickly because it is so close to China. The Allied forces do not have to retake Taiwan right away. I believe the key is the Allied nations to mass their military capabilities to cause severe attrition to the Chinese military. We don't have to commit our aircraft carriers because we can use islands and Allied countries on the continent. We can use distance to keep our aircraft carriers safe. China on the other hand, their aircraft carriers will be vulnerable unless they move them a great distance from the fighting which makes no sense because they will become irrelevant.

We need to sink her aircraft carriers. That will make our navy safer due to a lack of Chinese naval air power and their navy more vulnerable because she can’t protect her fleets as well. The key to winning the war in my mind is to cause attrition to key Chinese military assets like aircraft carriers and planes and to conduct strategic bombings to prevent her from replacing what she lost in the war. For example in WWII the Japanese lost all her aircraft carriers and could not replace them at the end of the war. Should China be ruthless and conduct strategic bombings of Taiwan to kill civilians, then it would make it much easier for us to decide to reciprocate on Chinese cities.

I firmly believe the strategic importance of China's claim to the South China Sea is to build her capacity to control a region in the Pacific area just like Japan did.

In summary destroy her most important military assets and prevent her from replacing them. It will be a very bad day for China if we control the seas and the air. This is how I would fight China. I have no concern about her army unless we want to invade China, but I don't think we want to do that. Tojo, Hitler, and Napoleon learned the more countries you fight, the better chance you will get your ass kicked.

I don't believe the Commander in Clown knows where Taiwan is for starters.
