Thousands of Chinese boats mass at sea, raising questions.

If the Chinese did take Taiwan, it would likely cause big problems worldwide, as Taiwan manufactures around 90% of the world's chips.

What’s the point China taking Taiwan? It would destroy everything valuable there and they’d probably eat some missiles on the three gorges dam for the trouble. If anything’s happening there it’s probably bluffing to take resources away from the gulf.

i don't put too much weight into what MSM reports but yes it can be a devastating problem for everyone
the pacific fleet is bottled up in the persian gulf

China blockades that with 2 battlegroups and we cant get out

Yorktown all over again

Of course China will likely take Taiwan. The US has blown its load fighting Israel's war in Iran and could do fuck all to stop China. They are even moving military assets out of southeast Asia because their shit is getting blown up by Iran. US = Paper tiger.

Old photo. They're not allowed to carry firearms into battle anymore. Might offend someone.

Maybe the Chinese battle group is on its way to the persian gulf, answering Trump's call for assistance?
