That..is a bad idea.
The coli hates America so much and cheers for every other country, so this website should be celebrating when Taiwan gets invaded and the world has to watch 
I agree in a long term strategic way, but a president like Trump doesn't seem concerned with strategy. He fires any miltary advisor that disagrees with him. And again, he is actively antagonizing nato who he also needs in any pivotol moves. Literally the only time nato's emergency clause has been triggered was in defence of America against an exponentially weaker middle east. He sure as fvck needs those guys if he wants to tango with china.
Dont you think that if china were to act now, it may be the best time for them? Certainly before a long term, strategic, and level-headed president gets in office?
Hell, i wouldnt be surprised if Trump green lights the invasion in exchange for concessions for his cronies . Something like a pending sale of tiktok to musk , or rare earth mining rights or even Taiwan based Trump properties would be more than enough to make trump turn a blind eye.
They fought the US directly during the Korean War. Matter of fact they’re the reason why the war was fought to a stalemate as they pushed UN forces out of North Korea and back to the 38th parallel.China is scary due to funky tech and a massive army, but they have never fought anybody as a nation..what they employ is a systematic overpowering of your territory as they did Tibet and parts of India.
Theyre very much like North Korea..very scary when you think about them, but theyre getting slaughtered in Ukraine.
N. Koreans' high casualties in Ukraine blamed on inexperience
Many North Korean soldiers are trained to attack the enemy from the rear rather than engage in front-line combat, analysts saywww.voanews.com
America faces the same problem China has..which is they haven't been battle tested away from safe spaces or someone else's backyard.
China like any other superpower such as America is used to flexing muscles abroad, but what happens when the war comes to your own doorstep..
China is way too large, which may appear at first to be a great advantage in a war but I think it's a handicap..simply means more people to kill, more strategic and vital instillations to hit, more refugees fleeing to create a destabilising situation regionally.
China is too dependent on the world for too much.
Knock out China's power grid, poison their sources for water and choke off their food supply and they surrender in a week.

The most UN-American thing is not giving a fukk about the citizens of your own country. All the shyt that he has done is going to affect the American people. All the tariffs he has imposed on allies America has had is going to affect American businesses and the pockets of Americans as well as job losses. All you hear is cut and cut which ok cool but where are the investments in infrastructure? You hear him want him to control gaza that’s not in America you hear him talking about Canada being the 51st state that’s not America. He wants America to be an oligarch where billionaires have control of the land and dictate what Americans can and can’t do. Last time I checked if it’s one thing Americans don’t like to be controlled and it’s sad to see the divisiveness between the parties but if he keeps doing shyt that’s not in the best interest of the people I don’t see how anyone doesn’t see how a civil war can come from this. But maybe that’s what they want.

I could see Trump doing some petty shyt like allowing China to invade Taiwan in exchange for selling Tiktok to a U.S company.
Japan & South Korea are getting washed if China and NK tag team to take over the respective lands.
I didn’t think I would see unification of Korea and Russia re-absorbing the Eastern Boock…..but here we are
South Korea will be aight IMO.
They have superior branches of military over NK. The only thing NK really has over them is nukes and if their plan is to unify Korea and control that land then it wouldn't make sense to use those anyway. I don't think Kim would ever want to invade South Korea either. That's 51 million people that DO know better. The whole reason Kim's family is so powerful in NK is that the people are brainwashed as fukk. Not the case in the South. If that shyt played out, there would be tens of millions of insurgents. He'd be overthrown and Korea would be unified democratically rather than under NK's rule.
I don't think China would get involved either. They're too focused on money. If they teamed up with NK to invade democratic countries they would be outcasts from the rest of the world. China been playing it smart recently. All they gotta do is sit back, allow MAGA to continue tanking America and step in to become the new global power.
I think the maximum scale of what we could see is China moving on Taiwan and Russia moving on some of the smaller countries around it (the Baltics, Moldova etc) but Russia would 100% get smoked if a full blown war broke out on the continent. Europe really doesn't need America to handle Russia. The UK, France and Turkey alone would beat them in a conventional war (at catastrophic costs, no doubt) never mind adding in Germany, Italy and tons of other countries.
