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
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.
