I disagree, they’re going to launch military drills around Taiwan, effectively throwing a fit like they did last time. I’m not saying they’ll attack though, but they’ve already did this in August last year. That’s one reason the US/allies is taking China even more seriously.

To be clear, these drills are dangerous. It takes just one idiot to make a mistake and send a missile to a military asset of either the US or Taiwan, or worse yet, something of civilian nature.

I disagree only on the idea that fighting Russia conventionally will lead to massive casualties. IF we imagine a fairy-tale world which Russia does not use nukes, I don’t see too many reasons why the result of an invasion of Russia will not be similar to an invasion of Iraq. Even the planners of Desert Storm expected high casualties and a long stalemate before eventual victory…we know that the exact opposite happened; and Iraq was a formidable enemy.

I’m not saying I’m sure it’ll be a cake walk, but nato, and the US in particular has the technology, the weaponry, and the operational conduct to win these conflicts not involving nukes.

Absolutely.

I see what you mean, I can agree with that.

Wait….most Americans didn’t vote for that orange fool. Electoral college system is shit.
