wishful thinking doesn't change the fact that they have a large nuclear arsenal

as long as they remain a geopolitical threat to America and America remains a geopolitical threat to them

they aren't going to become best friends

it's just not in the cards

Which is sad IMO.

We're Russia and the USA alies, nobody could stand against them. Not even China.

strawman

if you are basing your beliefs on the delusion that America is weaker than it's enemies

finding out the actual reality leads to cognitive dissonance fueled responses like this

Not at all.

The image the US military is projecting is laughable.

perception and reality can be two very different things

judging American military strength based on the woke image they are presenting is a mistake

they still clearly out class any potential challengers

regardless of how laughable their image is

Yes I'm quite sure the "New US Military" scares the hell outta China and Russia.

Look at Taiwan for instance. Do you figure China gives a rat's ass what the US military will do about their muscle flexing?

China would be supremely foolish to attack Taiwan

it won't go well, even if America stays out of it

it will go even worse for them then it going for Russia in Ukraine

speaking of foolish attacks

Ya...except the consensus is that, should the US military continue down this tweenkie path, China WILL take Taiwan.

As for the Russia/Ukraine thing. Not sure you've notice yet but...Russia has all but won what they set out to do.

"Hurray for the mighty NATO and the US military!"

Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll have to go polish my nails before gun practice...

the "consensus" is wrong

China will get it's shit f*cked up by the Taiwanese

Chinese strength is vastly overrated

Huh...do you realize if the Chinese started walking into the ocean headed for the USA, that they'd create a human bridge before they ran out of people?

I don't think they're terribly concerned about little Taiwan.

you overestimate the value of population when it comes to war

they should be concerned about Taiwan

amphibious landings aren't easy

and Taiwan is particularly hard island to invade

they will be walking into a buzzsaw

Ya...hard...like perhaps Ukraine?

Get a grip man...in a conventional war, China wins.

Ukraine can be invaded by land

Taiwan can't

if China attacks they will lose far more than gaining Taiwan is worth

they will make the Russian invasion of Ukraine look hyper competent by comparison

I think ur-a dreamin' in Technicolor.

yeah well your argument consists of

"I disagree"

with no actual argument as to why

other than an appeal to authority and citing China's population

so I don't consider your opinion to be informed at all

Ya...

"Hey I know. Let's all just throw common sense right out the window and make outlandish claims."

yours is silly

I presented an actual argument

you did not

I paid for more

but you duck and run

because you know your argument won't stand up to scrutiny
