Support Taiwan!

13 ( +16 / -3 )

With everything that is happening in Hong Kong, why would the Republic of China believe the communists? Red China would have to invade and that would be using planes and ships that have never been tested in battle. ROC uses equipment that has done well in battle and are helped by the US military. If Red China attacks the ROC, they are at risk of a large defeat. Their million man army can not walk to Taiwan.

We stand with you Taiwan, against Chinese aggression!

We stand with you, Taiwan.

QUAD forces need to be moved into the area ASAP. Troops, Carriers, destroyers, bombers and strike jets should be sent to encircle Taiwan and act as a protective buffer. Member nations should be sending men and women NOW to prepare for this. I think if Communist China keep making these outrageous threats against peace-loving Taiwan, war in the region is inevitable this year.

Mainland China will be flattened and cease to exist if they start anything.

China can damage Taiwan but it can never occupy it. Its Navy will be stopped, while Taiwan’s airforce will only be able to fight them of for a few days without help. It will need pilots and planes from allies very soon. But no Chinese better try to set foot on Taiwan if they know what is good for them.

china will get one big black eye if it tries to invade Taiwan.

Meaningless. If China wants it can take Taiwan - at least conventionally - in weeks if not days.

‘whether they could manage an ongoing insurrection is a different story......

I think everyone here, Left or Right, can agree that we all support Taiwan.

Kinmen, a Taiwan's territory located on the southeastern coast of China may be put under serious threat of abrupt invasion. But it is very difficult or nearly impossible for China's PLA to be able to land on the shores of Taiwan Proper. Taiwan's counter-attack is inevitable and prevailing. Not to mention in non-military domains a jingoist China would suffer most.

Should any armed conflict occur across the Strait, it is most likely that President Xi and his associates would have to bark loud "To the very last day!" while forced to flee the homeland seeking/begging refuge in Pyongyang, wiping tears. No bluff.

True, but it will not change the outcome. The CCP is on a roll, and the globalist current western leaders will not support Taiwan against the CCP takeover.

Every real democracy should support Taiwan.

Fake ones like Russia will not, that is taken for granted!!!

The D.P.P. of Taiwan has expected their doomsday and their last stand is imminent! Good! Very good! I expected they have no idea about this!

I'm sitting here just stunned (and laughing) that you actually buy into your conspiracy theories. Little bit of entertainment for the afternoon.

Which communists? The Xi regime is about as far removed from the ideology as a country can get.

I think if Communist China keep making these outrageous threats against peace-loving Taiwan, war in the region is inevitable this year.

A reminder that China is an authoritarian regime and that Taiwan was no stranger to brutal regimes, only as recently as the lifting of martial law in '87.

That said, the Xi regime's snuffing out democracy in HK is dreadful. But as long as he is the leader, as long as the country embarks on it's course of aggression, Taiwan and other nations should remain vigilant.

I think everyone here, Left or Right, can agree that we all support Taiwan.

Goes without saying.

I reckon that if China does go and try to take back Taiwan forcefully,the same result when Russia annexed the Crimea from the Ukraine will occur... 

To compare the CCP threat against Taiwan with the Russian securement of its main national naval base demonstrates total historical and geopolitcal ignorance. But I can see how people who only read headlines in the mainstream media would believe this.

Every time you say this you are asked to provide your version of a reliable news source. Every time guess what happens...

Conspiracy people love saying how everyone else is ignorant of the real facts, but never actually have any to show. Odd innit.
