I bloody well hope that's the case. I also hope they're thinking of ways to circumvent Taiwan's outsize contribution to the global microchip industry. This is potentially a much more serious crisis than Russia/UA - you can sort of buy your hydrocarbons elsewhere, but you can't easily replace the high tech stuff.Since the invasion of Ukraine the US has been very proactive and been supercharging the aid and weapons we send Taiwan. Since last year the flow of Western weapons to Taiwan has ten fold.
There doesnt need to be carriers even, but I suppose it would help the message.She needs to go there escorted by three or four carrier strike groups. Screw the CCP! Their population is not to happy with them right now do the lockdowns and bank defaults. A well placed decapitation strike would probably be applauded by their populace.
But that's just me!
And where are they supposed to come from in 7 days.She needs to go there escorted by three or four carrier strike groups. Screw the CCP!

This was in June. Not sure about now and I wouldn't say if I knew.And where are they supposed to come from in 7 days.![]()
Yes exactly. Unless they are in close vicinity, than no chance.This was in June. Not sure about now and I wouldn't say if I knew.

Navy brings massive carrier power to Taiwan Strait, South China Sea
The U.S. Navy is now operating three aircraft carriers in the Pacific in what appears to be a strong show of force following Chinese movements and comments regarding Taiwan and the South China Sea.www.foxnews.com
Of course not. If she doesn't visit, we are handing Taiwan over to China.China's threats shouldn't dissuade Pelosi from visiting:

China's threats shouldn't stop Pelosi from visiting Taiwan, analysts in Taiwan say
"Fear of Chinese retaliation should not dictate engagements between partners."www.axios.com
I think specifically their testing the Democrat leadership. I’m not criticizing the dems here I just think is more than just the us.There doesnt need to be carriers even, but I suppose it would help the message.
China is testing us. We cannot back down OR ELSE they might just ACTUALLY do something.
Period. If we bend over to their threats, we are too far. Should have never accepted the one China policy. CPP can kick rocks. Start deleting Chinese vehicles that enter Tawain's territory.
How big is Indias military? I think they would like some payback if things really heated up. Vietnam also.Of course not. If she doesn't visit, we are handing Taiwan over to China.
Apparently the military doesn't think its a good idea. Well, they are dumb (usually Id say they do the military best but...).
Start shooting down violations of airspace, and when China threatens us, pull a Trump and tell them, our buttons bigger. (If there's one thing I agree with Trump doing, is telling KJU our buttons bigger. Russia is the only country you cant say that to. Sure, a few hundred nukes on America would be pretty devastating - but even Russia might just join the party against China if they pulled that shit, and China would have quite the wasteland) - basically, tell China "we both know who will win.".
Its the modern world, China isn't really as big and bad as we act, only in its economy(that is folding), it may have a large military but ours is still bigger and more experienced.
The most powerful weapon is fear. Just remember, even the biggest narcasists and sociopaths in power don't want their legacy to be a radioactive wasteland.
Big enough to steamroll over Pakistan in a couple weeks. Or hold off a Chinese attack indefinitely.How big is Indias military?
Nothing really. Unless they just outright attack Taiwan in response. Really, idk why China is waiting. What is the world going to do, really?What can China actually do here besides strong words of condemnation!
I don't think China will. Biden is a cold war hawk and isn't afraid to show the all American might when faced down by a adversary. China should know the US would respond in kind and hastily. Multiple Senators have been their recently and nothing was done either much to Chinas chagrin.
Interesting. You would think that Republicans would be all in favour of adding local industry because jobs and USA number 1
It’s political negotiations. They were, then the dems popped out a 670 billion reconciliation Bill early this week. Annnnd republicans said well now that’s how we’re going to play. Well we’re going back to the negotiating table then because many believes we’ve already spent at least 2 trillion in the last two years.Interesting. You would think that Republicans would be all in favour of adding local industry because jobs and USA number 1
It's not Ukraine where they can just drive across the border. Amphibious assaults are among the most challenging military operations imaginable and no one has really tried one since D-Day. The likelihood of this ending in disaster for China is acute - and in any case it would require a massive and blatantly obvious buildup (which we're not currently seeing).Really, idk why China is waiting. What is the world going to do, really?
