Anyone who disagrees with me a Chinese Bot, and other children’s stories

Like more nukes? Like more artillery? Can’t invade with nukes. Artillery can’t protect long supply chains across vast flat territory when your opponent has HIMARS and triple the air power.

Please just go read Chinese government statements and policy.

The CPC has literally never threatened to use military force to achieve reunification. It reserves the use of military force for only 2 cases - 1) foreign military threats using Taiwan as a base become too dire and 2) a separatist group on Taiwan declares independence and attempts to secede from China. This has been repeatedly stated for over 50 years at this point. At no point has the CPC ever said anything remotely resembling a threat of violence to force the issue. You can compare both rhetoric and official policy from the US, UK, France, Germany, and Russia to understand what it means when a country threatens violence. The CPC has made no equivalent statements or policies.

In the case of number 1, the CPC has demonstrated incredible restraint. There are currently US soldiers stationed but 4 miles from the mainland because the province of Taiwan covers the main island and all the island chain as well. There are US HIMARS and ATACMS in the province. The CPC doesn’t consider this enough of a threat to act. Consider that the US will literally lie about threats to go to war while China is staring at long range high precision missile batteries on its coast and doesn’t think that’s dangerous enough yet to take action.

In the case of number 2, secession is unpopular in Taiwan, and will continue to get less popular over time as the conditions for remaining as US protectorate deteriorate. It is expected that if a secessionary movement does gain steam that it is likely due to US covert operations, since the US has demonstrated it is willing and able to foment literal civil war in countries around the world to advance its megalomaniacal goals.

Russia has 1 aircraft carrier that’s been in dry dock for a decade.

The US has 300% more military aircraft.

Russia has about 10 foreign military bases. The US has almost 800.

Russia has 25% more tanks.

They’re about equal in number of active duty. US has more reserve.

The US Navy is significantly larger than Russia’s.

What the fuck are you talking about? Russia’s military budget is a tiny tiny fraction of the USA. What fucking behemoth? I thought Russia was completely incapable of invading even it’s neighbor and losing thousands of soldiers and day and having to recruit foreigners. What Russian behemoth?!
