China has been stealing our intellectual property, sold us sub par goods, bullies its neighbors, spies on us with agents ready to go in the United States, orchestrated the C19 Bio weapon (yes Fauci et al helped and they should hang), coordinated with other foreign actors and nations to rig our general elections, human traffics and harvests but.....
If China invades Taiwan I believe it is the responsibility of the United States to use its full force unequivocally and strike Beijing with the most powerful nuclear weapon in our arsenal, and continue to nuke one big city every two days until they surrender.
Taiwan and that region are a direct multi-level and multidimensional national security sphere of influence for the United States, and we must do what we have to protect it.
Yes I'm calling for a nuclear exchange. PERIOD AND END OF DISCUSSION
Before you do, I would encourage you to look closely at the terrain and the weather.
The best the CCP can field is a total barrage of the island in the hope to knock out any resistance, before committing millions of meat on a 110 mile journey to cross the straight, either in boats and ships and planes.
And this does not take into account some hidden surprises to thwart any first and secondary wave.
Knowing what your enemy wants to do, what advantage does that give you? Can you plan to put a cog in wheel? How?
I think, an invasion would be a nightmare scenario.
Better would be to drag your opponent down without firing a shot and try to both economically as well as diplomatically to isolate and strangulate your opponent.
Now ask yourself why are so many Us-allies in and around the strait with postal vessels ......
What does a surface ship has in terms of optics that a stealth sub has not?
Can the CCP be strangulated economically? What would happen if the ships bound for China no longer can pass Singapore, or the Sunda Strait?

What advantage is Afghanistan to China when looked at for pipelines ....
https://gulfpub-gisstg.esriemcs.com/pe_chevron/
What happened in Myanmar? What is the importance of Rangoon to China? What is the pearl of strings? What is the single most important pipeline?
Where does China's food come from? How is that transported? How does flooding impact China's agri-production system? How can this be mitigated? How far along is China? When will China be self sufficient without the risk of being strangulated?
What is the most important region in China? For what? What are vulnerabilities? 5th column? What is an earth quake? What is HAARP?
What are the answers to these questions? I have no idea so if you know, then say.
Look at a map of Taiwan closely. Take note of all the little Islette too.
If you want to move into a country for an amphibious assault, do you land on a rocky coast? or on a sandy beach? Think Operation Overlord landing in Ichon, Landing in Sicily vs Landing in Morocco.
What is the speed of the waterflow in the strait? What is the height of the waves for every month? Distance to cover?
This means there is only a very small window of opportunity twice a year. Grab google earth and look at the beeches closely.
Option 2.
Air assault. What do you need to bring over to have a successful air assault?
Transport planes, right, for heavier equipment? Operation Market Garden 1944 showed how vulnerable air assault troops are. Especially, when communication is of the essence, as well as sufficient firepower and speed.
What is the disadvantage of an engagement in the city? Stalingrad? Moskou? Berlin?
Option would be to barrage a city, land troops there via air, supported by amphibious. Airfields are key for heavy equipment. However, over 1 million ROC soldiers angry, with very heavy equipment .... not a very good position to be in. And no local support. Sniper and hidden fire. lotś of dead CCP MF-ers.
What is the problem with mountainous terrain? ..... Monte cassino? Road across Sicily.
Not very interesting either.
Upping the game:
Apart from strategic reserves China will have for oil and stuff, it only needs one nice earthquake in a certain area to totally put that country into stone age fashion coupled with closing down straits of Sunda and Malacca. No more traffic.
There are two life lines: one by train across Russia: and one pipeline from the Stans to China.
one earthquake + 2 booms = CCP end.
Very informative, thank you.
