Maybe we could go to the extreme and get a UN resolution to condemn the US aggression?

Well no, they did the same in Panama with Noriega

Why would China need to invade Taiwan? They assert that Taiwan is already a part of China. That would be like the US invading Kentucky. Right? Or is Taiwan a different country from China?

I’m from a lid down family too but for different animals. If you left the lid up, you might come back to a family of motorbike frogs nesting in the bowl.

It’s actually quite refreshing to have some female company at the next urinal along.

Bees will stick it in ya

Britain played a major role in that coup too, they were trying to get back at Mossadegh for nationalizing Anglo-iranian oil, now known as British Petroleum.

CIA 🤝 MI6 Fucking things up since the invention of the cold war.

The look on their faces when they are screaming the keyword and I’m not unplugging the server because ChatGPT secretly offered me double to not unplug it.

Gross, and I thought Rust was bad enough.

Taiwan doesn’t need to sink every PLAN ship, they just need to make the political cost of enforcing a blockade higher than the CPC can afford.

Ukraine has area-denied Russia’s most important warm water port and most of the black sea from use by the Russian surface fleet with a small handful of homebrew ASMs and some jetskis painted black with a barrel of RDX strapped to them. And Finland did hold off the red army alone once already.

Well neither is the PLANs supply of artificial reefs

You can’t enforce a naval blockade when the adversary is flush with ASMs is all I’m saying. And you can’t enforce a naval blockade with only subs either.

It doesn’t take too many ASMs to sink some really important assets. Size isn’t really important, if one of the mainland’s carriers is within a couple hundred KMS of Taiwan, then it’s in the kill zone. Supersonic maneuvering missiles that work in gps-denied environments and can be sea, air and land launched are just the sort of weapon that works great in an asymmetric conflict and to break naval blockades. The blocader has to defend against every single inbound, the adversary only needs to get one missile through the defenses

Doesn’t Taiwan have well over a thousand modern ASMs in inventory, and manufacturing hundreds more annually? How would mainland China enforce an encirclement by sea for any length of time with that sort of threat?

Naval blockades don’t really work when your adversary has a limitless supply of antiship missiles

One day I’ll learn what webscale means, but it is not this day.

Even considering this amounts to premeditation. Asking your cohorts on Lemmy just escalated it to conspiracy.
