the us is definitely going to protect taiwan

chinese military and executive leadership aren't on the same page, there is a schism

but if Taiwan fires on an aircraft theres gonna be some escalation dominance

china knows so they won't invade

Will we though? if Trump is fighting a coup attempt or Biden's transition is disrupted by insurgency and a Trump team that doesnt want to comply. CCP might think theres an opportunity if they act fast

Im not saying its likely or that I even believe it

I doubt Japan would let that happen

but all this turmoil and looking inwards and none of our main adversaries are taking advantage?

what the hell

coup attempt is not happening lmao

lol what is japan gonna do?

an insurgency is not happening in the US

Delay them for long enough for us to get our shit together. Coup attempt won't last long

the riots are nothing like the kind that precedes conflict

yet

If Biden wins theres gonna be hell

yeah like how there was gonna be hell if Obama won?

I doubt it

no dude this is way different

Agreed, we cannot let him win at any cost. I'm even supportive of voter fraud in favor of trump at this point with how crucial it is we deal with china

Biden **will** capitulate to them

Im in favor of maintaining the republic, so voter fraud is a no go for me

I just want the CCP vanquished

The sign of conflict is always the mass raiding of national guard depots

Its not happening

well that doesnt even need to happen here

mate

there are plenty of guns in the streets

US has more domestic firearm ownership than some standing armies

and half the guard is sympathetic

exactly lol

half the guard isn't going to neglect their duties for politics

if biden is Hitler then he's gonna be impeached + removed, or assassinated

at the end of the day guard will defer to governors and there's no way they'll open up ROE

some may go AWOL but not enough

@JowlOwl I think we're talking past each other. Im not trying to convince you America will be mad max by January. Im saying CCP might try something while we have a constitutional crisis going on

@Secret Squirrel oh then yeah maybe an invasion of myanmar

its pretty likely at this point

you think? Im not aware of why that would be likely.

my hypthesis was that from the CCP perspective, we may be distracted and once we've dealt with this distraction, are attention is turning to them

especially if Trump retains power
