When China invades Taiwan, what should America do?

I say sell off our old stockpiles of chemical weapons we could never dispose of. Just VX gas, there are over 277 tons we need to dispose of, and as you can imagine neutralizing a nerve agent takes a lot of money and effort. Just use it in another arms race, as they'd have to buy the PPE from us too.

I'm sure there's a couple hundred tons of Dioxins and other crap in Kentucky too. There's few other options to curb a massive marine landing. Just trash the beaches so much that no one ever goes on them again.

Honor the defense pact and declare war on the rebels- strictly speaking, the Chinese already ARE on Taiwan; that's the only place their government still holds. (This does mean that Beijing's government is arguably the only Communist government in the world that's justified in calling itself "revolutionary" decades after the revolution has officially ended- or it WOULD, if they were actually Communist).

Above and beyond the issues of national integrity, losing Taiwan would mean losing a HUGE source of microchips to an openly hostile power. Taiwan isn't like Ukraine; we have a standing alliance with them that we need to maintain if we're to be taken at all seriously.

When China invades? What makes you so certain they will?

[Dargil]

Have a line of hunter-killer submarines in the Taiwan Strait and sink every ship transporting troops or equipment. We already have a carrier group nearby for air-to ship attack with Super Hornets and F-35's. Japan, Vietnam, Philippines and South Korea are also in the neighborhood. It will be a bad, messy day and the ChiComs won't do it, not because of that schmuck Biden but because of of those really nervous Asians.

And they will unleash another virus on us, but it won't be as nice as the last. I read a story where the Chinese are selling the ingredients to make fentanyl, and they're selling it on social media.

And they will unleash another virus on us, but it won't be as nice as the last.
*Don't you think we can't do the same to them? They seeded the USA with infected students and air travelers.
*We can blockade or quarantine any foreign born Chinese from entering the USA and close our borders with the Army and Marines.

I read a story where the Chinese are selling the ingredients to make fentanyl, and they're selling it on social media
*The import the components to Mexico and the Cartels cook it. Our approach there will be declaring war on Mexico and exterminating the Cartels and any resistance we get from their military or Federales. Se should have done this under Trump.

Joey won't do shit.

[Dargil]

The legislature declares war. Not Gramps.

[PurpleiPad]

Why haven't they impeached gramps?

[RealMarek]

Given that official US policy is that Taiwan is part of the Peoples Republic of China (Blinken reiterated this last week), we should stay out of the internal affairs of China. As for microchips, we should commit to a decade-long process of fostering domestic industry and mining.

The alternative would risk a nuclear exchange, and I don’t think anyone would win in that scenario.

[PurpleiPad]

It's funny that smokin' Joe doesn't know our policy. He said we will go to war with China, if they invade themselves. lol

If it wasn't for greed, we wouldn't import anything from China.

[RealMarek]

Uncle Joe doesn’t know what he had for breakfast, let alone US policy. As for Blinken, Nuland, etc., the whole pack of them like like crazy. McFaul actually blurted out that “lying is how the game is played” by US diplomats. This is a bipartisan problem for the most part and is why Russia, China, and an increasing number of other powers call the USG “agreement incapable.” There is no way to negotiate with an organization that is proud of its dishonesty.

[RealMarek]

Meant to say *lie* like crazy

[PurpleiPad]

We need to sit this one out. Let the rest of the world take care of China. (and Ukraine)

[rigmarole]

Bring semiconductor workers to America and destroy the semiconductor fabrication plants in Taiwan. Taiwan is just a rock. They don't have any real natural resources. It's the people that are valuable. Sending the people to die in a war against China just ruins the country and sets the world back technologically creating a mini dark age. Obviously those people have a cultural tie to their rock in the sea, so if they were to for example destroy the Three Gorges Dam, I wouldn't hold it against them...

[ZXCwWRQWz]

Defense perimeter if the US values Taiwan as an ally. China's navy isn't nearly as strong as the US. The diplomatic stance of the US is a purely self-defense one: protecting an ally with a diplomatic tone of defense to both China and the rest of the world while intercepting China's inferior navy.

[MementoMori777]

nothing, why would they do anything, im sure china gonna end up attacking the US as well

[PurpleiPad]

Joe already stated that we will go to war with China if they invade Taiwan. Dumb idea.

[MementoMori777]

can't lie I've been waiting for a war, but yea, not smart idea for normal innocent civilians

[PurpleiPad]

Why do you want a war?

[MementoMori777]

i feel like id be good at at, i feel like maybe my purpose is in a war, but i dont want to be a soldier, im not a fan of the government, i know i sound retarded but ehhh

[PurpleiPad]

It's OK to speak your mind.

[MementoMori777]

well mine is full of crap like this but i hope that war does form for the sake of peoples lives in general tho

Walk into your local recruiters office if Army tell them you wanna be an 11 Bang Bang or Cav Scout, Fister, Tanker or Arty, combat engineer and combat medic.
If we're talking Marine Corps I don't know about them I know there combat guys are 0311's
Airforce I don't know they got TACP's which is like a fister, and everything else I think is spec ops among them that's combat.
Navy I don't know what they do but seals and something else they have that is combat training in Buds with the seals too but that's hard-core shit.

[MementoMori777]

im just gonna wait for shit to hit the fan and claim to be a woman and get out the country, nah im just playin, ill just wait to be attacked without applying lol

US will provoke Taiwan to go war with China n then US will sell weapons to Taiwan...

War's are designed for sell weapons.

[Jamie05rhs]

Taiwan are the ones producing the chips for the weapons.

[PurpleiPad]

100% . Just like all the other wars. That's why the establishment hates Trump and love Biden.

[strateguy632]

u. s. already recognised taiwan is p. r. c. offer the govermnet asylum in exile.

[KostasKouvalis]

Why would they invade a territory that's allegedly already there's?

[OddBeMe]

Fund Taiwan. Make China bleed for it. And they will bleed. Like Russia.

[Fuentes]

[monghjay2]

[PurpleiPad]

[inhua]

[TacosRAwesome]

Stay in their lane.

[PurpleiPad]

Meaning?

[TacosRAwesome]

Meaning they don't need to act like heros and create a real war.

[PurpleiPad]

Biden says we will go to war with China if they invade Taiwan. I'm not worried about dying, but I feel sorry for the children that never even had a chance.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

respect theyr promise and fight

[belle_kai]

But will they?

[chicken_nugget24]

America will stop China. Probably going to war

[In_Trance]

Sit back and drink Bud light

[PurpleiPad]

I got a Tweet saying that AB deliberately destroyed Bud Light. I didn't get a chance to read why, but it makes perfect sense.

[jahaims]

We won't be able to do anything

[Fuentes]

Nothing lol
