Thank you my friend LTC (Join to see). 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.

Due to Taiwans poximity to mainland China I don't see them having a chance. It will be a matter of time before China overwhelms them. The US will have to fight its way to the hornets nest. We will also need logistics bases and protect them. Much will depend on the next few years due to knew technology and weapons systems that will most likely be Revolutions In Military Affairs like hypersonic missiles and laser weapons. I really don't know what the ranges of those missiles will be, but I can say if a missile goes Mach 5, there will be a two minute window for it to travel 120 miles. 10 miles out and the window shrinks to 10 seconds. They might change Navy doctrine if the ranges are quite far. We better find some countermeasures for that kind of velocity. The next few years might be an explosion of new, radical, and much more lethal capabilities.

MAJ Ken Landgren - Something like this....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY7v21Zy1yE These are not hypersonic rockets but the destruction would be just as devastating. SSG William Jones

It will be devastating! I pray for the swift return of Jesus, which will bring in a peace, unseen, since the downfall of Adam and Eve.

That hasn't changed since the 50s. Ability and desire is what's changed.
