My salary in Italy was roughly 30% of the one in Germany

While costs of living are similar

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe should've sided with the better sides in ww2

Oh wait...

theyll get em in the next one

>implying ww3 won't be started when China invades Taiwan and USA comes to help Taiwan

Screen cap this

The real question is

Will the war durate longer than 40min?

The average chinese technoserf might care and want to attain clay but the top brass really couldn't care less about ownership Taiwan

Also I highly doubt US would want to start WW3 by with intervention in case of a Taiwan conflict

If the US doesn't defend Taiwan, it will be a 25 min invasion and the world will remain stable, if the US defends Taiwan it will be WW3

All ideology aside, from a diplomatic point of view, it would make no sense

all defense treaties between Taiwan and the US are invalid as of right now anyway

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-American_Mutual_Defense_Treaty

Its a no win proposition on both sides as china could easily win militarily but get rekt economically as the US would have to impose sanctions to save face if they dont defend it

the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty expired December 31, 1979

If it's starting to look like Mainland will invade Taiwan, the Taiwanese will suddenly get loads of weapons, build an in-depth defense and coincidental accidences start happening that hamper the chiense supplyline and landing force

even if every civilian gets a weapon, the Chinese military will still outnumber any Taiwanese defense force

Depends on the situation on the ground, military will might be there but if civilian will isnt they are going to be another WWII france

Civilians are pretty well prepared

My gf had to learn to use a variety of weapons, including full automatic rifles during secondary school

I'm pretty good at shooting but I stand no chance against her

Just asked her, she was "15 or 16" when they had to learn this

If they have fight in them then China isnt going to be really interested in invasion, economic dependence is enough.

>implying China could beat USA in a war

You haven't seen how inefficient and dumb these people are. They couldnt win shit

They will blow themselves up by accident probably

By untrained military

And poorly engineered missles

Yes the US doesn't have to help Taiwan, but they've made it clear they would

China invades Taiwan, us sends aircraft carrier, China sinks the carrier, ww3

t. has lost a war against Vietnamese ricefarmers

if history taught one thing is that you never know in advance how a war will end

Mate have you read Wikipedia we won't that war

Won°

M-m-my history teacher in middle school told me so

H-heh fucking europoor....j-j-jealois of our strength

Most people seem to think China won't invade Taiwan until they have a functioning aircraft carrier

Which is still gonna take some time
