Completely different kind of war.
So THAT is bullshit.
We are totally prepared for a war against other superpowers that have something to lose. Not for a "war" against a nation of insane religious zealot goat farmers who have nothing to lose and consider dying their ticket to 72 virgins in "heaven".
Oh please guys; China isn't stupid. At best China is hoping the Taliban play nice.
Back when we invaded Afghanistan (before when we were on better terms) a Chinese general pretty much said invading is a bad idea. At best it's more of a "I told you so"
Now the Chinese have a wild card on part of their border they need to appease.
..and how does this even compare to Taiwan? Do you even know the history of mixed messages we've had with that island?
Taiwan is not an agrarian poorly educated nation that's been war torn for 40+ years who can tell or care if the invaders are Russian or US
China has been studying how we fight for decades; slowly building up a layer in defence plan to deny the United States from defending that island when the PLA invades. It'll be a war of air and sea assets and very likely attacks on the continental United States.
Taiwan is a distraction, there is not much to really gain from taking it. The belt and road, digital yuan, artificial intelligence progression are all much bigger threats from them.
Left-wing billionaire George Soros once warned that Chinese leader Xi Jinping is “the most dangerous enemy of open societies in the world” in an op-ed published Friday by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
Ya a Billion Nano-peens to a Hundred Thousand full size See how that works out for ya.
It's the EMP weapon they now have operational to worry about.
Hope you have enough food, water, fuel and a generator for a few months, cause you thought toilet paper was bad ? That was just a test. Hell I still can't find Super Cassis' at Bevmo.
china might be happy the americans don't have such an airbase that close to their own borders...and they can possibly take this one over to expand their own reach
should have planned on destroying all equipment and bases
i would not bet my life that this hasty action didn't have anything to do with china and their need to get in there before anyone else or possible destruction of bases
Taiwan is so close to China, by the time the first missiles strike land, we won't get help there for days. The attack will be over, and the Nationalists will have fled again. Only 28 more years before the rebirth of Formosa as a Province of the PRC.
No Army will invade, no Navy will blockade, no Air Force will fly over. Land-based artillery splashing ion the tidal beaches will subdue the Kuomintang. In 2049, no one will remember 1972, Nixon, Mao, and the UN.
So there crazy alarmists...tell me how many tons of ore have the Chinese mined out of Mes Aynak? Do you know what ore they have pulled out? Do you know when the agreement was signed?
Of and hey how many US companies jumped at the offer to mine...*anything* in Afghanistan in 2017...
Look it up and let me know.
We, Europe, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, India and China are well aware of the bajillionz of resources there since 2006-7.
List off the companies that dove right in...
Or gloss over this and jump back into conspiracies and finger pointing.
Yeah you're right from the waste down she's much more attractive.
But from the waste up Tulsi and Kristi would be a toss up.
And they both might need more time, I really doubt that they'll have the time. The dems & repubs are going to put a couple of puppets that'll be loyal to the status quo.
So no Tulsi's got my vote if she runs again. Although I'd be split if both decided to run.
@Flash
*gasp* You've insulted me I'm going on an tirade now. Wait, no I already did. Speaking of bush...
I totally forgot to text someone back.
Woops.
Never keep a lady waiting.
For those in the know and who know the players and king makers inAfghanistan they are saying the true winner is Pakistan, as it’s clout in the neighborhood has tripled with non-aligned Afghan warlords seeking shelter under their borders, and willing to bend the knee to do so.
China and russia want to work with the taliban... So basically biden is just handing the US to them on a silver platter. Remember you fucktards voted this just because of your hurt feelings. Jesus this is pathetic
You think the AFGHAN military sucks, wait till you see the Taiwanese military. 90% of them arent even properly trained. Half of their F16s are obsolete by current standards. They have no counter strike abilities or first strike abilities.
Shit, most of their military favors unification with China. Most of their current military senior officers are all descendants of mainland China Huangpu Military Academy.
Meaning the chance of fighting directly against China is slim to none because 1/3 of the Taiwanese population want unification and most of their grandparents or parents were born in mainland China with a shit ton of relatives living and doing businesses on both sides. Taiwan also got over a TRILLION USD invested in China. Xi's wife Peng has blood relatives living in southern Taiwan. What war?
All these talks are for the retarded who has no clue about the real cross.straits relations. Taiwan politicians use China card to stroke fear and win elections. China govt use Taiwan card to promote national unity and patriotism. Most of the DPP in Taiwan all have businesses and families in China. Even President Tsai's own family owns a huge restaurant and hotel franchise in China.
What conflict? Its all media hype for a headline.
IF a war breaks out. Taiwan wont last 7 days. Thats our own military computation on almost all of the likely results. China wont need to invade. Taiwanese will easily surrender. They have no defense against what China can do. Not even our own military can take on China rn. Its suicidal.
^ Yeah yeah yeah
Don't forget the nano peens!
Tiger penis soup, rhino horn rice and pangolin scale stew do not make you virile.
You will only catch the Covid!
I never realized how many think tank fellows are here on hx. I guess if we have half the infectious disease experts here it would stand to reason clapper and Brennan protoges might want in othe action here as well.
Update from China news: they are not happy , as they share a border with Afghanistan and all the Uyghers people they may have repressed now have a safe haven to regroup, arm, and strike back with fellow extremists Muslim help.
Dont know how my comment on China and Taiwan evolved into your response on nano peen and tiger soup.
Its like reading from a dyslexic retard trying his best to fit in a conversation. Its almost sad and pathetic. I supposed hx isnt the place to have this conversation because all ppl care for are penis and pussy. And when you got nothing to add, just type a few racist jokes and pretend to be an obnoxious retard and draw a few laughs from someone on that same level. But its a free country. You do you.
I think the last thing them chinese care about is virility. There are 1.4 billion of them in China alone. Not counting a single oversea ethnic Chinese. Having babies aint their problem. Having too many of them was the problem. There aint enough Tiger soups for all 700 million of them nano peens as you would call them to make a difference. It would be like peeing into the snow in a dark winter night.
Seems like you know more about nano peens tiger soup or whatever thats on your diet for your own preference. Since clearly you know and obsess about this not just on one comment.
Im not judging you but its alright if you need thay extra help. Im sure those 2 on your network had a blast with you with all your little witty comments. A dollar for a laugh right?
I never knew you can get Covid from Tiger soup. Maybe your MARK TWAIN (cough racist cough) quoting mind discovered some new pathogen that explained all this? I dont dare to ask you to share, we dont want another Fauci moment.
I forget MT award is for comedy. You can be funny if you try harder. Never too late to be a comedian like your idol uncle
Huxtable. Some funny shit there.
@Zeroes, never watch any "documentary" on Netflix. The research and "science" is laughable at best; if you do watch stuff like that; watch it for entertainment value. I turned it off after the anti-vaxxer grade logic started melting my brain.
@Cgem. I don't know if I agree on Mark Twain being a racist; He definitely did use words society will not tolerate today. Now I'm curious about that.
Still you've got a point. There's just no place of racist remarks; not from *me* not from anyone. Kinda why the wording of the Civil Rights act of 1964 doesn't mean "white people" it means anyone vs anyone.
As for Taiwan you are absolutely correct about media and politics but you're ignoring Japan, Korea, Russia, United States and Europe. Nobody in their right mind in the days before World War one considered the lunacy of their commitments, the willingness to draw themselves into a stupid conflict and yet like dominoes countries committed themselves and drew others into that conflict. Never underestimate the stupid that is humanity and its willingness to throw away the lives of others for personal gain.
so we are pulling out of afghanistan, because we cant afford to be there & fight china at the same time. shh. im an idiot. i know about rocks. thats it.
I'd wouldn't put it past an administration to have received some form of cumpensation(s) to leave a certain region, & turn their cheek while more crazy monkeys take over peaceful monkeys "unclaimed" territory. kinda like Tibet.
some monsters seem beautiful, in order to hide their ugly.
it doesn't matter how much gold & gems you coat a piece of shit with. It is still a piece of shit, coated in gems & gold.
Angry much, cgem?
Your real name is Ho Lee Fuk?
Kwai Chang Caine?
Your daddy was Hop Sing?
Self-styled China expert should know that their population is imploding from 1.4b to 800m over the next 50 to 100 years. We won't be around but they ain't gonna run the world by losing 40% of their population, lol.

See how that works out for ya.
I'm going on an tirade now. Wait, no I already did. Speaking of bush...
