Many cities are already ruins. A ground war won't make much difference.

I think the UAF/ZSU already has enough captured equipment. We're now see lots of vids of drones dropping grenades into abandoned vehicles in order to destroy them. M2 Bradley on left, Slovenia T-55S on the right. The T-55 is a significantly upgraded version. UA/ZSU is working hard to get ready...

Amazon....why drive to BB&B if you can buy something sitting on your butt for lower prices. If you don't like, just drop it off and get refunded. It's just too easy to click on Amazon and order what you want.

Biggest difference is the absence of air power. The contrast with this war and Desert Storm is night & day. It does give US airpower a boost in regards to the Pacific (i.e. less airpower is needed in Europe).

She claims someone else posted the SCI docs:

Those are acts of war.

Still could have been a Russian intel source baiting the gamer into showing the document. :mad:

Infuriating. Someone needs to be hanged for this.

We got a good team. They could do big things this year! Go Gameocks!

Some of the sanctions are starting to make an impact, but dictators/autocrats find ways to survive. Look at Saddam.

Congrats comrade putin. You now have another NATO member on your border.

But a major war would only expedite an ecomonic crisis and further isolate foreign trade. And occupying Taiwan does little if anything to fix what you've described. And FWIW, Japan is also facing a similar crisis with not enough young people.

They need foreign trade "friends" and their markets are not as solid as those in the US. They are economically vulnerable (whether they realize it or not).

That's WWIII & a protracted conflict. The PRC would be risking it all for this. They don't have a lot of friends.

Yea...early days of cold war. Some of this played into the Korean War. Chiang Kai-shek had issues with corruption in his govt. There's a lot of Chinese history from that era.

Beyond "unfinished business from ~1945", the question is why? Why would the PRC risk going to war with multinational forces & devastating their economy for an island that poses no offensive threat? They stand to lose so much more than they gain.

You can only conduct armored offensives part of the year. No use in going on the offensive if all your spiffy western armor gets stuck in mud and destroyed. Wait until all the mud dries up (6-8 weeks). EDIT: I did see a sobering assessment tonight about the state of the UA/ZSU. The Ukrainians...

They are building a huge Taiwanese semi-conductor plant not far from where I live. There has been some wargaming that predicts a western victory in a PRC v. ROC war, with significant losses on all sides ( 2x USN carriers down, etc). China has problems with our fast attack subs. We have some...

It's the Russian way....such swell people.
