The Goddamn Chinese Thread…

[Bipo]

You don't want to fight a full scale war against China regardless and we never would. But if we are drafting things went reaaaaaally south. Like end of the world times south.

We go to Taiwan’s defense and you might be surprised how quickly things spiral out of control. Especially if they manage to hit one of our carriers.

China doesn't want a full scale war with us either. They may have lots of people they don't mind sacrificing but they wouldn't risk the economic hit.

If you want to win a war against China on their home turf there will eventually be a draft. Depending on objectives, it very well might not be able to be won. There is a scenario according to war games where we lose a significant portion of the Pacific Fleet.

Winning a conflict against China will not require us to invade them. That would be insanity. They import about 70-80% of the food they need to meet their consumption so choking them off with a blockade along the first island chain and the Strait of Malacca and surviving their initial attack, which will be decapitation-style, will be enough to win a conflict with them. They are unable to project power much further than their shores and they're surrounded by enemies.

Or the demographic hit. It's not like they have a lot of young people to sacrifice. That 1 child policy has fucked them.

If the US invaded Cuba tomorrow, the world wouldn't be happy, but they'd get used to it. Same with China and Taiwan. No other country is coming to Taiwan's rescue.

I love when the ‘There’s gonna be a draft!’ Stuff comes out.

Cuba is far less important economically (and in most other ways than Taiwan), though.
