What an invasion of Taiwan would look like
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 8th, 2022 10:30 AM Author: Sable stage dragon A bunch of boats sailing around an island does not constitute an invasion. A missile is also not an "invasion." This has to happen at some point:

Date: August 8th, 2022 10:34 AM Author: Fantasy-prone disturbing community account house They will fire 50,000 missiles at Taiwan and destroy every god damn military related thing. They'll be no furking opposition. They will set in special forces to take airports and stuff, then fly in troops. The beaches can be cleared of mines in some areas and they can just land regular ferries, hell they can use regular passenger ferry terminals. Invasion wld be a piece of cake for Xi, its only because he is kind and peaceful its not done and never will be done (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5169132&forum_id=2Reputation#44981388) |

ok. . .so how would the Special Forces make it through one of the most heavily fortified countries with enough firepower to seize important strategic assets?
I'm pretty sure Taiwan would notice a couple dozen boats filled with militarybros and tactical gear just casually landing on their shores |

Protip: this happens in every war. We nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki and firebombed Tokyo and Dresden in WW2. We blew up most of Falluja in Iraq. We oops drone kill civilians all the time in Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc.
This is why pushing China on Taiwan was a really bad idea. |

The US on the other hand is offering to save Taiwanese lives. What a tough decision for Taiwan. |

US statehood cures all, and that's where this is headed because China is run by a 90 IQ faggot who fails at everything he tries to do.

That's only if the US doesn't intervene. In that case you need to make it TWO hours, loser. You missed the point of the study. All you're telling me is that Taiwan has 4 hours to ask for help. |

Which would be countered by U.S. Naval forces that would easily break the blockade and provide weapons/supplies to Taiwan via air.

Date: August 8th, 2022 5:42 PM Author: Exciting gas station Taiwan has the advantage of having spent many decades preparing its military for one and only one scenario. For example, they have anti-ship missiles coming out the wazoo, many of them small and mobile ones that will be very difficult for China to target.
I expect China watched very closely how Ukraine has forced Russian ships to stay far away from the Ukrainian coast with a handful of harpoon missiles.
It would take a LOT of guts for China to place all their chips on an amphibious operation in the face of that kind of opposition and the inherent uncertainties of war. Life is too good in China right now for them to risk it on something like that. |
