Gonna end up like Russia in Ukraine
Only with stronger international support than Ukraine received . . . which was already tense enough.
Taiwan is 16.6x smaller than Ukraine, there is much less land needed to be captured.
And China is far more capable an adversary than Russia has been for decades.
Okay first off I'm going to have to ask you to remove the 'chinaman' thing, that's considered a bit of a derogatory term these days and is unwelcome here.
And I agree, Taiwan has had a lot more time to prepare, but that also applies to China as well. They have been building up based around this conflict forever. It's going to be far more challenging for everyone than Ukraine was IMO.
If I was Taiwan, I would have honestly been looking into nukes by now.
....in what way? I'm not even sure what you're suggesting.
Bogged down in a war of attrition. US and east Asian allies will make it very uncomfortable for China more so than what US and EU did for Russia
In terms of invading Taiwan I presume.
Oh, I've long ago came to the conclusion that's never going to happen. Of all the things I can say bad about trump, warmonger doesn't seem to be among those traits. But he still hates China. So anything China tries to do, say an invasion of Taiwan, trump would do everything to block just to fuck over China.
And I have to assume that after 2028, future presidents will be politically sane enough not to start a war with China, but also protect Taiwan.
So that invasion is never going to happen.
