Because the United States do not have a design to invade and conquer Taiwan! The Chinese Communist Party is still officially at war against the remnants of the Republic of China. If CCP officially signs a peace treaty with the ROC government and openly renounces its intention to invade Taiwan, then no one would care about it fleet sailing in Taiwan Strait. The US military is the one that try to maintain peace and status quo here. The Communists are the one try to change the status quo by force.
@@christopherchartier3017 the conflict between Russia and Ukraine was always going to happen, Russia got on top of the situation before the US could get Ukraine properly prepared.
@@klausschwabshubris Ukraine didn’t have any military-involved aspirations with Russia. Russia 100% are the aggressors in this. The US weapons before and after the invasion were 100% defensive, and this is evident in the US’s continued insistence on Ukraine not using all of their US supplied weapons for attacking Russian territory.
Also, you forgot that the most important thing China has in Taiwan is a huge intelligence network within Taiwan. Keep in mind that there are a lot of people in Taiwan that support re-unification, including within the military. The other thing China has is a huge industrial drone capabilities including ships and boats dedicated for drones. If a war happens, Taiwan has zero chance even with help from the US and other allies.
The fact that you say there's a zero chance completely reveals your flawless logic. Taiwan has an intelligence network within China too. The percentage of Taiwanese that support re-unification are at historical lows. Also, you don't think the US has drone capabilities? The conflict, if it occurs, will be unpredictable and could go both ways.

@@Oroukenhagen18 The KMT doesn't represent Taiwan. They are recent immigrants to Taiwan and are referred to as foreigners. As for why the DPP doesn't "declare independence" or whatever, it's because the CPC says they will invade if they do.
I don’t see why China would actually invade Taiwan. They are doing a pretty good job doing a slow roll by internal influence campaigns. It may take a few years but I think Taiwan will simply agree to reunite naturally. I mean there is a One China Policy. They should be united.
Not sure about that. I’m Chinese and all I can see (at least on surface) is all sorts of so called “internal influence campaigns) implemented by DPP, since early 90’s, and they have been very successful. Look up the stats of Taiwanese self recognition as Taiwanese and/or Chinese. The numbers speak for themselves. There are so many studies available online to point to the same conclusion, and these campaigns by DPP are visible, like, very visible. Similar campaigns are also implemented by them into mainland china. It’s part of the reason why all the posts in social media are tagged with the province that your ip address is at. It started 2 years ago, and when it was first implemented, there were lots of posts got exposed, that they are written in simplified Chinese and from a mainlander’s perspective living in mainland but now the IPs of the posts show “Taiwan” or foreign countries. There are also posts on PTT ( a popular Taiwanese online message board) got exposed by Taiwanese , that someone pretended to be a mainlander and posted posts and comments to stir up the shit and cause fight between mainlanders and Taiwanese. How was that guy exposed? He forgot to use vpn or hide his IP, so these posts of his are tagged with his exact ip address which is the same as his main account. And yes, your ip address is shown on PTT. This guy turns out to be a member of a team that works for the Taiwanese government, specializes in the “internet warfare”. Edit: these are just 2 examples out of countless similar ones. For someone who understands Chinese and follow Taiwan news daily, all that I said above would be very easy to understand. It’s a lot harder for westerners though because most of the info is second hand and fed by your own media (main stream or not). That said, I do believe that china will remain refrained from causing a war right now. It’s simply against their interests and they are very patient, not because of the “internal influence campaigns” though .

17:00 letting the OpFor win just gave me massive respect for China. The US famously ran huge war games simulating an invasion of Iran. The OpFor general put the entire US force onto the bottom of the sea. The games were merely reset. Afterwards, his command decisions were overruled several times, to create the massive success that Bush wanted to see (the games were meant for his industry friends to show how cool their weapons were; the OpFor couldn't ruin this ad, you know)

They did not like, how their SigInt and ISR prevented them from responding from an Iranian Alpha Strike that sunk their fleet. They remade the exercise to make it so, Iranian Signals got intercepted and the US Navy had time to move away.

@@zd1322 any source or explanation for that one? amphibious landings are hard, but we are not talking about Operation Overlord here. Taiwan is not a continent. It is an island, and a small one to boot. It can be blockaded with relative ease, and an extended blockade would already send the economy into freefall and force the government to surrender. But of course, China has no intention of doing an extended blockade, as it would allow the US to intervene. The reality of this situation, though, is that Taiwan could fall before the US even gets its ships within range. The Chinese military is well-trained for combined-arms assaults, and due to the short distance and huge army size they could attack Taiwan from all sides. Once one beachhead gets through, reinforcements can pour in. Taiwan can fight China. But Taiwan cannot win against China.

I don't quite understand what you're talking about. HistoryLegends describes the blockade in the of this video. See about ships between Japan and Taiwan, as well as ships between the Philippines and Taiwan. And instead of submarines, I would recommend paying attention to anti-ship missiles, aircraft and drones. Taiwan is close enough to the mainland that American aircraft carriers would turn into meaningless, but very expensive symbols of American power. Which aircraft carriers already were during the campaign against Iraq, when aircraft preferred to be lifted from bases in Europe.
@@zirafejlo6041 The USA needs Taiwan to keep China in the 'first island chain' range. It is very shallow and so it makes it harder for PLA submarines and other vessels to work freely. If China has Taiwan, the dept of the waters goes up by a lot(i cant remember the figure from my head, but you can look it up) and its capabilities to project power would increase exponentially too. Pretty much in the same way that Biden says 'If Israel didnt exist, we would have to invent it."(you can also look that up, he said twice if recall properly, once at congress when he was younger, and once as president) applies to Taiwan.
@@zirafejlo6041 if China takes Taiwan it will have a stranglehold on the global supply of semiconductors... cuz you know most of our semiconductors are made in Taiwan.
@@zirafejlo6041 In a word, "Micro-processors". In a word salad, China is an genocidal communist regime that actively floods US markets with drugs via the Mexican Cartels and continues to threaten every ally in the region. Do you want them to control every high-end micro-processor manufactured in the world and have a giant naval sea base closer to the Philippines and Japan? IMHO, I don't think it'll matter in the long run. The US has better demographics and is in the process of building micro-processor facilities state-side with Taiwanese help. If we take in skilled refugees from them if this ever pops off, it'll be gold. But China will collapse in about a decade just from economic contraction. Even worse, they are heavily dependent on imports to feed themselves. The US is weaker and fraught with corruption. But ten surface strike groups can strangle the life out of China if we blockade the country through the Straights of Malacca. As to whether the US has the gumption to sustain the pain necessary to defeat China.. I don't know. Normally, yes. But we're so infiltrated with Chi-com spies and political fragmentation between populists and the uniparty globalists it's difficult to determine if we're able.
just to elaborate a bit on the war exercises you were talking about that exposed the weakness in the PLA troops. They set up the games to be extremely in favor of the opponent side, like 'half of your division were just annihilated by a tactical nuke, now proceed' or 'you have lost all air support, now proceed', which made the games monumentally more difficult. So they don't really show the PLA's weakness, not in your typical sense, but rather demonstrate how far they are willing to go to train for the most difficult scenarios possible in a peer-to-peer war, which is quite rare, if it exists at all, in the western militaries today
China can wait more than 5 years, the longer they want the more powerful they will get. They will only have more ships, more aircraft, and more military equipment. The Chinese economy isn't fully geared up for a war economy, and when it is they can simply overwhelm them. Formosa is part of China, and it has always been.

Russia did "only" exercises before the invasion. Its is quite amazing how US placed the world most advanced chip factory on a island only miles from their biggest rival.
The US cannot produce what is made on that island. America is utterly incapable. America is at the whim of Asian technology, not the other way around. Nice narrative and hubris, tho. Propaganda is America's greatest export.
That would be the global market's fault, not the US'. It's right next to the factory of the world. One that isn't going to keep that status when the West is too poor to buy anything because their evil ruling class decided to eat the golden goose of enlightenment instead of keeping it alive and tolerating all the inconvenient rights the peasants have to keep it alive.
The US placed? TSMC is a Taiwanese company. Its owner worked in the US at Texas Instruments, was leading engineer in the field of building chips, and got fed up with TI not understanding that designing and actually manufacturing chips are two different things that can't be done reliably by the same company. Taiwan's government at the time was directly reached by him to support the build up of the first, purposely built chip manufacturing plant known as TSMC. Intel, Texas Instruments and the like simply accepted that fact eventually. Pressure on Taiwan will finally make Europe and the US self-sufficient on these high tech science fiction chips so it's about time.
They always have. Plus the US consists of a bunch of barely human individuals ruling equally barely human subjects. But they all maintain a song and dance since they don't want to acknowledge reality to fix it.
White people😂😂😂😂 Anglo-Saxons should tell us about what they did to the Native People's of North America, Africa, Au-sie, NZ and many others. Spanish, the Dutch and Portugese are also masters in that. Colon-nism.
Because we have long been without intelligent and responsible adults who know how to lead and compromise. They’re going to screw around and create a major but unnecessary war nobody wants to fight.
Additionally, the reason for Man Guangzhi's 33 wins in the early stage was that the blue force was set up too unrealistically (the director group set up the blue force as the Soviet army's armored assault and the US army's systematic operation, and the PLA's coordinated cooperation) and that the new round of military reform had not yet been completed at the time. Now, both the red and blue sides have won and lost.
China isnt really an expansionist in terms of military and naval bases. They have always been an insular nation unlike the US. China has only 1 or 2 military base outside of China. They will have an easier battle just to stop trading with Taiwan and let the little islands drop economically into recession. Then the young people will leave Taiwan in search of jobs and most will just go to live in China. With the young in Taiwan gone, they will have a difficulties recruiting military and balancing budgets to pay for US weapons.
The part about China being non expansionist is bs, look at the extent of the Qing empire, they simply were forced into isolation due to the vastly superior European empires.
*They have multiple island bases near Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore and region where those bases are not part of the PRC not even part of their Exclusive economic zone*
The kmt is also socialist btw, chiang kai chek used to be called “the red general” look it up, and even the dpp is troskyist 😂, All 3 parties are some form of socialist
China says that it wants international economic accord. But will obviously defend itself. Taiwan is recognised as a province of China by international law and most countries including the USA. Sounds bizarre but check it out.
It's ALL about BRICS, not Taiwan. Take a look at Grain exports USA to China. China cancelled and obtained the grain from Brazil (Maybe Russia, or both) They paid less and the producers got more. THAT is what will win the "war"
The speculation on the capabilities of the Chinese navy was rather impressive. Why not provide some speculation as to how the electronic warfare systems of the E-18 Growler and carrier, Carl Vision, have been overwhelmed by the Chinese destroyer, Nanchang, a few months ago? When they noticed the Chinese destroyer opened its missile hatches, both the Growler and carrier fled in panic. Subsequently the US head of weapons system of the carrier was dismissed while the lady commander of the Chinese destroyer was awarded a state award.
Electronic Warfare is another aspect that's not often discussed. Not to mention China's drone capability. We honestly don't know, but considering how big a part drones have played in the Ukraine war, it will definitely play a part in a Taiwanese conflict
@@Mennion3Then don’t ignore Chinas lead in AI and robots. The Chinese can replace the equivalent of the entire US stockpile of cruise missiles, around 4500, in a week. They can build submarines at a rate of 200 times the Americans. Their anti carrier missiles can reach all US coastal areas. Any war with China will be fought by proxy ie Japan and Philippines.
In an age where USA is concerned about the ability of Chinese phones to collect and transmit data back to "The CCP" (smh 🤣) I might pose those same murcans another question. Are they aware that about 40% of semiconductor devices in US Military assets come from... China? For example, Each of the newest Ford Class Carriers has in excess of 6,500 Chinese devices in their systems. Do they wonder if "The CCP" had the designers embed a "Kill switch" into some or all of those devices? Maybe one activated by a burst signal from a satellite over Chinese territory? (Making it a defensive system) What might happen if those circuits ran at random intervals for a random time, shutting down an asset on the ship for 20 seconds, or 5 minutes, every .... pick an interval, 5-10 minutes? 50- 80 minutes? Imagine a scenario where the Carrier is ordered to launch against another force but 2 minutes after they start using the Catapults the system fails?, or they test fire the guns and missile systems and the associated radars stop working? That would render *THE CARRIER* "Not fit for purpose", or to borrow an old phrase "Found On Reef Dead" (Ford class 😉) I wonder if the same might apply to the supporting ships? Or the missiles on the Aircraft? Aircraft Radar? . Wouldn't that be "Embarrassing?# . They would have to turn and sail 3,000+ miles home ....... slowly for a total refit of all affected systems. . It's just a thought, of course.

In China case they will be able to navigate trough a large corridor and get out in the pacific without too much trouble because they don't need too much logistic capabilities, they'll have much more uses of their ships than russia have with ukraine and Nato/Aukus/whatever will have trouble to bring supply on an island under blockade.
@@TomDrez The blockade will be difficult since the PLAN will have to honor the threat of missile and air strikes from Taiwan. The eastern side of the blockade would be the problem too. If the Chinese spread to cover the whole island, they are now spread across thousands of kilometers of Ocean and vulnerable to defeat in detail. They will also be outnumbered by the combined US, Japan, and AUS fleet and that's not counting in possible support from the UK, France, Canada, or France who may or may not assist. Frankly though the war is unlikely because even if the Chinese win, they wreck their economy in the process. Likewise for the Americans they do the same. I trust both sides leadership to be more interested in their own money than this
The only reason they care about Taiwan is because of the resources it gives the US. Microchip. Plus every surrounding country in Europe is allied with the US.
In this case Taiwan more or less acts as a check to china, basically the US is trying to sustain their own wants and needs aganist a superpower in their own turf who can deploy forces faster than they can.

Such a large scale amphibious invasion will no matter how hard they practice lead to some major issues, but China has the population and industry to manage that fairly well. Regardless though, I also believe China will go as hard as possible to conquer Taiwan within the next few years, simply because they NEED to secure their place as a global superpower in the 2030s and beyond, and they can't do that without securing Taiwan first.. and as time goes on, Taiwan will sign more and more deals with the west (+asian nations) that will make an invasion much more riskier for China. So yes, China will soon enough launch their invasion, there's no doubts about it. However, will US actually get involved, involved as in shooting at chinese ships, aircrafts and troops? Personally I don't believe so. I don't think they have the balls to risk a global war over Taiwan.
There is also the unspoken Sino trump card. Just before invading, they announce a change in their nukeposture to a first-strike use of the 300, errrhhmm I mean 3000 hypersonic nukes they've secretly built, and that any foreign military intervention can be met with fu-red-button-letsalldie bring it on!
never underestimate America's recklessness when it comes to geopolitics, just look at how they are pushing ever button in Russia by supporting Ukraine.
I dont understand how americans justify their country's actions. The US says that it supports Ukraine territorial integrity, which is why they didnt find anything wrong with Ukraine attacking Donbass and why they support Ukraine againat Russia. So farall is good. But... The US also recognises China and not Taiwan, and officially agrees with the One China Principle. Following their own logic they have absolutely no bussiness interfering around Taiwan, which by their OWN logic and official statements is chinese territory. Do americans really see no contradictions in how the US behaves? Or do they just dont care ?
They never care about anything other than their own geopolitical interests. You can find numerous examples of the US violating its each of its own supposed principles. Taiwan used to be a military dictatorship, and the US always supported them. Now they playing the "democracy" card.

Can someone explain why, when a warship from a country thousands of miles across the ocean sail into the Taiwan strait is consider "sailing in international water" but a warship from China which happen to be across the strait sailing into the same Taiwan strait is consider "an intrusion into Taiwan maritime line"?
because that is how north Americans "think".

Because the United States do not have a design to invade and conquer Taiwan! The Chinese Communist Party is still officially at war against the remnants of the Republic of China. If CCP officially signs a peace treaty with the ROC government and openly renounces its intention to invade Taiwan, then no one would care about it fleet sailing in Taiwan Strait. The US military is the one that try to maintain peace and status quo here. The Communists are the one try to change the status quo by force.
because china wants to invade taiwan and all the u.s is doing is just sailing. We don't if china is planning to invade or not

I don’t see why China would actually invade Taiwan. They are doing a pretty good job doing a slow roll by internal influence campaigns. It may take a few years but I think Taiwan will simply agree to reunite naturally. I mean there is a One China Policy. They should be united.
Agreed, or they will just wait until US debt implosion …. Coming soon
Not sure about that. I’m Chinese and all I can see (at least on surface) is all sorts of so called “internal influence campaigns) implemented by DPP, since early 90’s, and they have been very successful. Look up the stats of Taiwanese self recognition as Taiwanese and/or Chinese. The numbers speak for themselves. There are so many studies available online to point to the same conclusion, and these campaigns by DPP are visible, like, very visible. Similar campaigns are also implemented by them into mainland china. It’s part of the reason why all the posts in social media are tagged with the province that your ip address is at. It started 2 years ago, and when it was first implemented, there were lots of posts got exposed, that they are written in simplified Chinese and from a mainlander’s perspective living in mainland but now the IPs of the posts show “Taiwan” or foreign countries. There are also posts on PTT ( a popular Taiwanese online message board) got exposed by Taiwanese , that someone pretended to be a mainlander and posted posts and comments to stir up the shit and cause fight between mainlanders and Taiwanese. How was that guy exposed? He forgot to use vpn or hide his IP, so these posts of his are tagged with his exact ip address which is the same as his main account. And yes, your ip address is shown on PTT. This guy turns out to be a member of a team that works for the Taiwanese government, specializes in the “internet warfare”. Edit: these are just 2 examples out of countless similar ones.
For someone who understands Chinese and follow Taiwan news daily, all that I said above would be very easy to understand. It’s a lot harder for westerners though because most of the info is second hand and fed by your own media (main stream or not).
That said, I do believe that china will remain refrained from causing a war right now. It’s simply against their interests and they are very patient, not because of the “internal influence campaigns” though .

Stupid, amateur analysis. It would be the most difficult beachhead ever, if Taiwan fully opposes it.
@@zd1322 any source or explanation for that one? amphibious landings are hard, but we are not talking about Operation Overlord here. Taiwan is not a continent. It is an island, and a small one to boot. It can be blockaded with relative ease, and an extended blockade would already send the economy into freefall and force the government to surrender.
But of course, China has no intention of doing an extended blockade, as it would allow the US to intervene. The reality of this situation, though, is that Taiwan could fall before the US even gets its ships within range. The Chinese military is well-trained for combined-arms assaults, and due to the short distance and huge army size they could attack Taiwan from all sides. Once one beachhead gets through, reinforcements can pour in. Taiwan can fight China. But Taiwan cannot win against China.

I don't quite understand what you're talking about. HistoryLegends describes the blockade in the of this video. See about ships between Japan and Taiwan, as well as ships between the Philippines and Taiwan. And instead of submarines, I would recommend paying attention to anti-ship missiles, aircraft and drones. Taiwan is close enough to the mainland that American aircraft carriers would turn into meaningless, but very expensive symbols of American power. Which aircraft carriers already were during the campaign against Iraq, when aircraft preferred to be lifted from bases in Europe.

IMHO, I don't think it'll matter in the long run. The US has better demographics and is in the process of building micro-processor facilities state-side with Taiwanese help. If we take in skilled refugees from them if this ever pops off, it'll be gold. But China will collapse in about a decade just from economic contraction. Even worse, they are heavily dependent on imports to feed themselves. The US is weaker and fraught with corruption. But ten surface strike groups can strangle the life out of China if we blockade the country through the Straights of Malacca.

It was nice knowing you ladies and gentlemen
just to elaborate a bit on the war exercises you were talking about that exposed the weakness in the PLA troops. They set up the games to be extremely in favor of the opponent side, like 'half of your division were just annihilated by a tactical nuke, now proceed' or 'you have lost all air support, now proceed', which made the games monumentally more difficult. So they don't really show the PLA's weakness, not in your typical sense, but rather demonstrate how far they are willing to go to train for the most difficult scenarios possible in a peer-to-peer war, which is quite rare, if it exists at all, in the western militaries today

China isnt really an expansionist in terms of military and naval bases. They have always been an insular nation unlike the US. China has only 1 or 2 military base outside of China.

The speculation on the capabilities of the Chinese navy was rather impressive.

When they noticed the Chinese destroyer opened its missile hatches, both the Growler and carrier fled in panic. Subsequently the US head of weapons system of the carrier was dismissed while the lady commander of the Chinese destroyer was awarded a state award.

Do they wonder if "The CCP" had the designers embed a "Kill switch" into some or all of those devices?
Maybe one activated by a burst signal from a satellite over Chinese territory? (Making it a defensive system)
What might happen if those circuits ran at random intervals for a random time, shutting down an asset on the ship for 20 seconds, or 5 minutes, every .... pick an interval, 5-10 minutes? 50- 80 minutes?
Imagine a scenario where the Carrier is ordered to launch against another force but 2 minutes after they start using the Catapults the system fails?, or they test fire the guns and missile systems and the associated radars stop working?

They wait this long for the peaceful unification. You think they just going to go to war if they did not declare the separation which back by US? If you dont call this patience then what is it call ?
They've paid billions in propoganda to make Americans not want to fight for their country, so it's working.
Why are westerners so hyper focused on LGBT people? If it's not race its sexuality with you people. You sir are just like their government you bellyaching bout, hyperfocused on the dumbest superficial shit like race or sexuality. Focus on the topic at hand. War. Also the T in LGBT stands for transsexuals, you know less than nothing about the thing you complaining bout LMAO
Red is not the color of the Communist. Red is the color of the Chinese. All Chinese. Since ancient times. To the Chinese, red represents prosperity, blessings, life-giving, happiness.
Especially during Chinese New Year.
Actually, every Chinese dynasties had their own colours. The same colour can be used again after a few dynasties.
… happiness and communism.

You are not smarter then the bible my child.
China has all the right to make ANY military exercise in the CHINESE waters. EEUU has nothing to do in that area.
You are wrong on this. China wants Taiwan back not because of strategic access, that's the US's bugagboo. China wants Taiwan back because Taiwan has historically always been a part of China. China was divided during the 100 years of humiliation when European powers chopped it apart. The promise of the 1949 Revolution was that they would reunite China against this foreign aggression. Taiwan is that last part of the country that foreigners stole and now they want it back.
LOL what the hell are you talking about? Taiwan was RoC clay before Mao took over the mainland. Chinese propaganda is really ridiculous
@@T-Ball-o Taiwan was under Japanese occupation.
@@Dmitrij-nl3sc and given back to the republic of china, successor state of the Qing, not the communists
@@Dan251299 because communists didn't controlled mainland China at that time.
But situation changed in 1949. History is not frozen.
@@Dmitrij-nl3sc and yet here we are, Taiwan is de facto independent, if china wants to force 20 million people to live under dictatorship then their only option is to invade but we know how experienced the Chinese navy is right?

They can do it and really America would suffer the hardest. Many of our businesses big and small depend on parts and resources from China. If the US govt could stop waging war for once we would at the very least be able to reinvest in our own infrastructure.
You are an excellent skilled analyst🧐 of the situations.
Bro is it just me or does it feel like it 1914 ?
naah it feels more like 1913 rn
1943 anybody?
I don’t know, I wasn’t alive then
Well in 1914 it felt like war was far away. So no. It feels worse than 1914.
1914 with the political landscape of 1939
""the agressive chinese posture"? Wtf ARE you talking?! Hahahahaha
You’re right, “the aggressive west Taiwan posture”
@@J3LL05H0T "West Taiwan" LOL
RoC lost the civil war. No Mandate of Heaven for Mr. Chiang and his ilk. The Chinese people kicked them out of the mainland. Imagine being reduced to an island and only being able to call your enemies an extension of yourself out of spite.
So glad you called it bubble tea, not boba!

Hope the Chinese dont shut down the Satellites or else this coming war is gonna be boring without youtube.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love that Die Hard potray lol
5:15 bro just roasted the entire AFU's media team 😂😂😂
It's a civil war, you make it sound like Taiwan is an actual country. There was civil war in China from 45-49. The Guomindang fled the Mainland to Taiwan province since Imperial Japan returned it to Chinese rule. 😂 At the end of the day i hope there is a peaceful resolution instead of a second civil war. Got family in Taiwan. Also American needs to stop interfering with Chinese business and focus on their on shit for once.. Taiwan doesnt need to end up like Ukraine. Lastly, ppl should know 中華民國 （Zhong Hua Min Guo) literally means Chinese Republic aka Republic Of China Which is Taiwan Province's official name.
The PLA could benefit from the russian experience with western tactics...That is the danger of the war in Ukraine for USA in a multipolar world.
There’s very little the Chinese could learn from Ukraine other than don’t plan the operation with the assumption that the enemy won’t fight back. The air and naval campaign will decide Taiwans fate and we haven’t seen much of that beyond some rather embarrassing moments for the Black Sea Fleet.
Ukr has other land borders... Taiwan has none.... once surrounded, it's game over
Yea They'll learn to not be Russia
@@Cabooseforprez2012 That's embarassing only because there no (longer any) ship on the ukrainian side, but the reality is that sevastopol is the only port in hot waters of russia, they realistically have no choice but to put their military ships here, they are then essentially vulnerable to some of the cruise missiles provided by NATO given the range and location of thoses ship, on that front beside eliminating all the land capabilities of ukraine and the tactical support from nato, there's not much russians can do beside stopping thoses and sometimes there's one that strike it's target. In China case they will be able to navigate trough a large corridor and get out in the pacific without too much trouble because they don't need too much logistic capabilities, they'll have much more uses of their ships than russia have with ukraine and Nato/Aukus/whatever will have trouble to bring supply on an island under blockade.
@@TomDrez The blockade will be difficult since the PLAN will have to honor the threat of missile and air strikes from Taiwan. The eastern side of the blockade would be the problem too. If the Chinese spread to cover the whole island, they are now spread across thousands of kilometers of Ocean and vulnerable to defeat in detail. They will also be outnumbered by the combined US, Japan, and AUS fleet and that's not counting in possible support from the UK, France, Canada, or France who may or may not assist.
Frankly though the war is unlikely because even if the Chinese win, they wreck their economy in the process. Likewise for the Americans they do the same. I trust both sides leadership to be more interested in their own money than this

Its almost like America is setting itself up to lose by constantly supporting the smaller groups like Taiwan.
The only reason they care about Taiwan is because of the resources it gives the US. Microchip. Plus every surrounding country in Europe is allied with the US.
In this case Taiwan more or less acts as a check to china, basically the US is trying to sustain their own wants and needs aganist a superpower in their own turf who can deploy forces faster than they can.
Biden n other "establishment politicians" get picked to cause these wars which makes their funders rich.. They don't care to win, just to profit.. Skamala won't be any better, reason the Feds support her..lol
Taiwan is the most important country on earth. You want a computer, want a guided missile, want a jet? All of those use semiconductors which are largely made in Taiwan and the best semiconductors are made in Taiwan every other country is at least a generation behind.
Semiconductors are just as important as oil in military and civilian applications.
After WWII, US very good at losing wars.
US knows exactly what was going on. That's why it kept its carrier battle groups well out of the range of Chinese hypersonic ASM.
Pray that times get better
I do not think China will invade Taiwan. All they need is patience, and to continue to building economic, cultural and personal ties. At the right moment, make Taiwan an offer they cannot refuse. As this happens the US will get ever more aggressive. The danger is that the US will do something desperate.
You are the boss of analytics!
Keep on the great work!
Honestly speaking when this kicks off this will be a conflict at a never before seen scale
what?

@@waitnottodayaccording to who?
Are you kidding? WW2 was insanely massive beyond your comprehension. In Korea the US dropped more bombs there than in WW2. Unless it goes nuclear, large scale war is unlikely.

Taiwan is Chinese. One China policy, remember yankees?
Taiwanese are chinese people from 10,000 years ago chinese history.
The island taiwan is actually called formosa and it belonged to borneo , north india , indonesia and the phillipines because of the indigenous people who were there 5000 years ago. No chinese or taiwanese were found there 5000 years ago.
After the internal war in china for power and control , the loser escaped to formosa for safety.
UN , USA and UK gave formosa to the taiwan people of china. Usa and USA did it for political reason.
Taiwan people should return formosa to the indigenous people and go back to china where their ancestors came from. The real trouble makers are the taiwanese politicians , USA and UK.
naw , we dont , you aint getting tsmc
@@Juznik1389 Remember all chinese including taiwanese in the world came from china .
An internal war for power and control happened in china and the loser escaped to the nearby island called formosa . UN , USA and UK gave the island to the loser and they named it taiwan.
The indigenous people were there since 5000 years ago and they called it formosa. The philippines , indonesia , borneo and north india are the rightful owners not china , japan and taiwaness.
Taiwanese had invaded formosa and the taiwanese should go back to china.
@@knowledgeispower3212 of course you don’t. Got too much HFCS in your head. Why no one wants to do business with you. Because you are dishonest with every contract you sign. Go to hell and stay there
@@thatone8085 Are you on crack with your fantasy?
Such a large scale amphibious invasion will no matter how hard they practice lead to some major issues, but China has the population and industry to manage that fairly well.
Regardless though, I also believe China will go as hard as possible to conquer Taiwan within the next few years, simply because they NEED to secure their place as a global superpower in the 2030s and beyond, and they can't do that without securing Taiwan first.. and as time goes on, Taiwan will sign more and more deals with the west (+asian nations) that will make an invasion much more riskier for China. So yes, China will soon enough launch their invasion, there's no doubts about it.
However, will US actually get involved, involved as in shooting at chinese ships, aircrafts and troops? Personally I don't believe so. I don't think they have the balls to risk a global war over Taiwan.
I think both sides will go old-school Mediterranean ramming maneuver.
There is also the unspoken Sino trump card. Just before invading, they announce a change in their nukeposture to a first-strike use of the 300, errrhhmm I mean 3000 hypersonic nukes they've secretly built, and that any foreign military intervention can be met with fu-red-button-letsalldie bring it on!
Taiwan is very important in geopolitics and glibal trade, I think the usa will fight
never underestimate America's recklessness when it comes to geopolitics, just look at how they are pushing ever button in Russia by supporting Ukraine.
@@someguy4512 Crying over here too huh?
Thanks for the video
Saw this thumbnail and immediately started sweating...... sheesh
I dont understand how americans justify their country's actions. The US says that it supports Ukraine territorial integrity, which is why they didnt find anything wrong with Ukraine attacking Donbass and why they support Ukraine againat Russia. So farall is good.
But... The US also recognises China and not Taiwan, and officially agrees with the One China Principle. Following their own logic they have absolutely no bussiness interfering around Taiwan, which by their OWN logic and official statements is chinese territory.
Do americans really see no contradictions in how the US behaves? Or do they just dont care ?
Our government hates us and does not in anyway represent us
They treat it like it's a sports game.
They never care about anything other than their own geopolitical interests. You can find numerous examples of the US violating its each of its own supposed principles. Taiwan used to be a military dictatorship, and the US always supported them. Now they playing the "democracy" card.
American are usually the last one to wake up.
You don’t understand? It’s easy! The US talk so much shite it’s unbelievable😂 they are very good at PR and propaganda I will give them that!
