That's what I'm saying. There won't be any boots on the ground because Biden, as close as he may seem to death, is not suicidal. Yet.


US didn't fight in Roos. US sure as fuck won't fight in Taiwan.
The financial losses will hit both sides as the inevitable US-China economic decoupling happens way more violently than it would've, had US not got feisty and jumped the gun on China.

As for the Chinese side, dictatorships have a tendency to be unpredictable (in an unwanted way) and I fully expect China to overreact to their geopolitical bondage session streamed live on every news channel in a more dramatic way.
As much as i want to believe what you say but Taiwan and Ukraine are different .

Taking Taiwan is not going to be a walk in the park for Chinese for various reasons.

1. Taiwan is not a backwater nation. It is highly industrialized and a first world country with decent military.
2. Taiwanese people are very very liberal. The govt is liberal, laws are liberal and society as a whole is very liberal. Integrating Taiwanese people into Chinese way of thinking will be difficult.
3. Unless China is going to bomb Taiwan into oblivion, it is not winning the war just by placing boots on the ground. No one has won a nation in decades by putting boots on ground. Chinese know this very well.
4. Blockade can work both ways.
5. With Russia busy in Ukraine, China may find itself stretched itself for resources in case of a war.
6. Chinese economy will need to adjust. US, Europe and Aus will find it pretty hard to sell to it's people why it is business as usual with China. The backlash on China in these nations will not be pretty for anyone.

Some people were saying on twitter - how before the Russian invasion, embassies reduced their stuff or during the Afghanistan crisis. Nothing of such happened yesterday.... Probably already knew all of this was vaporware. China might care about face and all bs, but foremost is survival. China is now weaker then US and that's a fact. If unrest happens, they can just lock their Social networks (like they are doing now). It might be embarrassing for Xi personally, but he has bigger fish to fry. He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight

And neither has China fought anyone, not even a weak country. People on Weibo are already baying for peace and are against war. Chinese people have no appetite for bloodshed.
It is a good thing because Neither do Taiwanese have any war experience left and the war will be fought against Taiwan not Japan and not against US.
Air assets and Navy assets will be first to be neutralized after that invasion can go on for months depending upon how hard Taiwanese are willing to fight.
American Navy and Air Force can provide adequate cover for the Taiwanese army to mount a successful defense. If you think they will not fight a direct war, just yesterday America sent a 40-60 aircraft fleet to defend Nancy Pelosi's plane from Chinese threats, and I reckon they weren't armed with bouquets.
US send fleet because they knew no fight will take place.
The day China blockades the sea is the day US ships head back to Port.

You are underestimating the US a bit too much. Underestimating them didn't do any good to their enemies.

Got to admire Pelosi.
She is despicable but she is packing some heavy balls.

She just shoved a Spiked dildo up Xi's rectum.

Problem for Xi is that they made a huge fuss over this, gave threats and thumped their chests....but when she landed in Taiwan, CCP just whimpered like a wet dog started licking US boots.
Xi's image is pretty much is in tatters. US just showed them who the real boss is and who is a cowardly bully.

US has faced many opponents and triumphed over them, China has just faced US (or maybe the Soviet Union. But it wasn't their primary goal)
Yes but you're ignoring the fact that this is China's backyard and not America's.
A war with China will be incredibly costly for America. The America which is redefining the definition of recession to tell it's public there is no recession.

Abe laddu hai kya jo le lenge ?

China can't mount a successful Taiwan invasion. It will be worse than Ukraine. Also, 3 American CBGs are around Taiwan, plus the Japanese Navy.

How do you propose China can do anything ?

See this video 👇

But this video doesn't talk about airforce and Chinese naval bombings? Tho it would be really difficult to flatten out the country but if USN doesn't show up they will bomb the shit out of tiwan .

This is Japan's backyard as well, Taiwans backyard is well. Taiwan will be defending against China. They being the defender and in an island, will be incredibly difficult for China to do the opposite. China might be rich, US + Japan + Taiwan are richer. Chinas population is growing old, they would have to spend in welfare, improved education and birth rates which they themselves admit will cause effect in the future. While, US has a healthy flow of immigrants (many unfortunately from our country). US has unparalleled geopolitical advantages - that's why they became a superpower. Good geography, good submissive neighbours (unlike ours), good economy, good people, good military. If China scores 9.5, US is 9.8 in national comprehensive power.

who would US be facing Chinese army?

It would be Taiwan that will be fighting it.
You see Mate this is the central idea.
People are assuming a China Taiwan war is a China and US war.
US has no reason to defend Taiwan, it is not worth losing thousands of ships and troops.
Gone are those days when US would sail any water and sky as they pleased.
The war is necessary evil that will lead to multipolar world.

Taking of Taiwan by force will be very much dangerous to the countries in the vicinity. It will destabilise the regional order.

Taking of Taiwan by China will be breaching of '1st Island Chain'. Their dream is to breach all the 3 'Island Chains' and establish a Maritime Hegemony.

On top of that, if China does gustakhi of blocking Taiwan Strait than USN will block Malacca Strait, China knows it.

Quid Pro Quo.

5-6 years down the line, U.S may not even need taiwan semiconductors, muricans have started building their own plants.

muricans are de-risking, their supply chain.

in Taiwan, pelosi's speech focussed on two things, Democracy and CHIPS act.

Congress Passes CHIPS and Science Act of 2022
