With the increased military spending and focus toward China, we are not ready right now. If China invaded Taiwan today, we would do nothing I think. We are currently kicking people out of the military for not getting vaxxed. We have become a Woke military because all of the leadership have forgotten about war prep and focused on politics and image. China and Russia are ready for war today. We are currently sleeping like Dec 7, 1941. Like what kind of military can let a single fuck burn down a ship? What kind of navy cannot park a boat without wrecking an oil tanker? What kind of sub commander can run into an underwater mountain?
the place on that map is probably the most likely starting point for world war 3. it matters. if chinese expnasion goes unchecked, and they take taiwan, maybe next they say they think northern vietnam is theirs as well. and hey guess what the border region with india is really theirs as well. hey, sorry phillipines, this bit of the south china sea is ours, we are building a navy base there. hey kenya, thanks for letting us loan you a billion dollars you cant repay, thanks for giving us nairobi. and on and on.
This is a good article on the subject for those interested in how we got to where we are today. Including some interesting comments about the period when "Nixon opened China". It's a complex subject. https://thefederalist.com/2021/12/2...n-americas-interest-to-go-to-war-over-taiwan/
