There was alot, I disagreed with in the original statement. Some more then others, so I ask for your patience if I'm long winded. Please allow me a rebuttal in which I will start Geopolitically.
In a vacuum, China verses U.S. looks interesting but war NEVER works out that way. If China invades Taiwan, they will be isolated both politically and militarily. Russia, EVEN IF they wanted to help, can't. They are busy at the moment....real busy and there Navy Fleet is a nothing Burger. Iran ain't tripping on Tiawan they low key already control the Arabian Gulf right now, and N. Korea wouldn't care (they are at odds with China).
Let's not even start up on White Supremacist.... cough....cough...I mean 1st country alliances that the U.S. have. Listen to me as I type this.....these countries around the world are not about to lock arms with China and agree to a SUICIDE PACT...so that China can invade Taiwan and SOLEY gain economically from the invasion. No matter how much they might hate the U.S., that makes absolutely ZERO sense. It's emotional and silly.
This place gonna fall just like the Roman Empire.
REPLY: The U.S. is at a weak point, no doubt about it. Yet, it will take much more then China to cause that downfall. As an aside, to demonstrate my point....the Roman Empire fell from the INSIDE. That means us removing the bricks from this WS empire, one brick at a time, will be requirement. The corrupted yellow man won't be able to do our jobs for us. Wishful thinking won't trump reality....and the reality is the White man gave China its "world status" and the White man can EASILY rip it away whenever he feel necessary.
"We think inflation is bad now, if China were to sanction US, we couldn't afford sh*t."
REPLY: Your right, inflation would go up. The U.S. would suffer. Yet, the Chinese would suffer far worse and the political unrest within China would rip it apart far faster then the unrest here (Unpopular Communist Party). That's said, don't attempt to overstate U.S. unrest....unease about China's growing status on the world stage is a VERY Bipartisan issue here among the Dominant Society....so don't necessarily put your all your eggs in that basket. White Supremacists still knows how to get on code against threats, both precieved, actual or......self-made.
"If we attack China, Russia and North Korea are automatically stepping in. And the U.S. can't handle war on multiple fronts."
REPLY: This probably won't happen if China invades Taiwan and the U.S. merely responds to the aggression. Logically speaking, none of them are helping Russia in Ukraine at the moment. In fact, China been pretty mum about Ukraine....just comparing apples to apples. Same situation. Don't overstate this "Communist Alliance" theory. China and Russia aren't as close as one would think. Russia views China as a Geopolitical threat and the jealousy and envy between the two is well documented and historical.
The only way this scenrio would happen is if the U.S. invades mainland China itself. Other then that, extremely unlikely. This is why the U.S. is planning on fighting a LIMITED conflict in DEFENSE of Taiwan. Protecting Taiwan from the Chinese will be the main objective, not occupying mainland China or necessarily regime change. You are correct about the U.S. not being able to handle a multiple front war. We presently aren't ready for that sort of conflict, as the logistics for such a campaign are mind boggling and we don't have the gear for that.
"And the U.S. hasn't won a war since WW2. There's a reason why we rarely hear of the Korean War, because China stepped and slaughtered us and crept right back into the mountains like nothing happened.
Afghanistan. the U.S. were there for 20yrs and left with a lost."
REPLY: I'd careful about investing too much into simple arguments like these that are wholly without proper context. Alot ppl know next nothing about Korean. The CONFLICT was a police action to remove N. Korea (the Communists) from S. Korea after they invaded. As of today, the N. Koreans failed, and the country of S. Korea still exists independently. Militarily, the U.S.'s objectives were more then met. Remember, back then the policy to combat Communism was CONTAINMENT in Southeast Asia....hence the Vietnam disaster (from a military sense).
The Chinese ONLY got involved because Gen MacArthur decided, on his own, that he would take his army farther north into N. Korean then he was actually authorized. The Chinese warned him not to close in on the Yalu River, but he refused in all of his White Supremacist glory....stretching his supply chain to a dangerously thin point and recklessly endangering his men. Close to 3 million Chinese regulars ran MacArthur back to S. Korea and President Truman made it policy that the U.S. would NEVER send TROOPS north of the 38th parallel (into N. Korea). Fun fact....the Korean "War" is not actually over....South and North Korea currently only have cease fire agreement, not a truce or peace agreement.
As for Vietnam, that's a total loss both politically and militarily. 1st Gulf War, victory. 2nd Gulf War, stupid war but victory that was a wash in the end. Afghanistan.....stupid war with no real objectives so that's a loss. Operation Justice Cause in Panama, victory. Operation Golden Pheasant in Grenada, victory.
Folks like to cite Vietnam. Vietnam was a war the U.S. never truly tried to win. From a military perspective, the "war" was run badly and had no real objectives. Keeping Communism "out of Southeast Asia" is not a military objective....its a political one. Hence, it was a failed effort from the beginning. A war to defend Taiwan from China will be no such animal. No restrictions. No politicians picking targets and restricting Orders of Battle. No concerns/worries about disrupting the Geopolitical order. The objectives will be clear, tangible and obtainable.
If we are to fight White Supremacy, we MUST truly understand this beast we are fighting. They will NEVER empower Yellow men, Brown men or Muslim men to the point were they become insurmountable threats. That theory is folly and China will find out the hard way if they continue to read & believe their own press clippings. Pride comes before the fall.....
God Bless and B1.
