I’m sure China is pissing their pants at the pronoun attack we will retaliate with.

It will not happen unless the US has a very weak President. Meanwhile, we have two carriers in the area and no telling where the subs are.

Biden can’t do anything- he’s lost his mind.

Trump won’t do anything. He’s not an interventionist.

Would have significant issues for the US, unlike the other two wars we find ourselves involved in at this point...

Given the current state of this administration it is probably China's best window to do something like this but I doubt it is going to happen...

Well the favorable weather window closes this month. The next window is Sept/Oct.

We’ll know pretty far in advance if China invades Taiwan because there’s no way they can hide from satellites them amassing a massive army in their southeast coast. The invasion force will have to be at least five times the size of the D-Day forces. China will likely do a false operation to justify their invasion and announce it to the world before they do it.

Do the Taiwanese have subs and antiship missiles?

Going to be a lot of submersible Chinese vessels if so.

Taiwan’s weather outside of the mountains is like San Diego. It’s only 80 miles from the coast of China which means barges can make it there in less than an hour and a half, possible two if you were to go around to land on the northeast coast that has favorable beaches to land.

We have a compromised president. They will be told to do nothing.

They won't be able to hide an attack of this scale. We would know it was coming for months just from the size of the invasion force and the ships required. It won't be a surprise, IMO

I’m sure they do. China really lacks subs because the Chinese coast is extremely shallow. Taiwan on the other hand, there’s a massive drop off on its eastern coast, which is actually another major reason we don’t want China to get Taiwan because then they can build a massive submarine fleet.

No problem unless Biden’s misses the ice cream truck

There only being certain beaches they can invade through certainly sets up a kill box for the Taiwanese.

Artillery and machine guns aimed in that area combined with air support to take out paratroopers makes it hard for the PRC to even get a foothold let alone reinforce their troops.
