Thank you my friend LTC Stephen Conway. U.S-China War over Taiwan. We have had a defense treaty with Taiwan since the 1950s.

According to the People’s Liberation Army, China’s Shandong aircraft carrier group has recently conducted military exercises in the South China Sea, after Beijing criticized the US for sending Navy ships into the strategic area.

SSG Samuel Kermon Research some of the articles from the 1950s and 60s on Quemoy and Matsu. We were a lot closer to war then than today.

Sounds more like the beginning of an Armageddon Type war.

Let's not kid ourselves. The current administration will express its dismay, then impose some sanctions. China will cut off some strategic minerals to us and then we will sell Taiwan down the river. The same game plan the Obama administration and western Europe ran on Ukraine for some cheap Russian oil.

A substantial increase in our fast attack sub presence in the area would make an amphibious assault highly unlikely. China certainly has the manpower, they don't have unlimited amphibious shipping (yet). Although the keels have been laid for 8 LHA equivalents. An amphibious assault without naval and air superiority is a hard row to hoe.

Thank you for your feedback. It's ironic that I read an article on the officer magazine in 1997 describing China as the sleeping giant or the sleeping dragon that's awakening. It described China going from a defensive military to an offensive one.
