Old woman stern face make mean war?
Firstly, it would not be an “invasion,” any more than kicking people out of a homeless camp on public property is an “eviction.”
It’s not even an annexation. Taiwan is already internationally recognized – including by the United States Government – as a part of China.
Secondly, it would not be hard, let alone “very hard.”
A full Chinese invasion of Taiwan with troops landed and ports and airports seized would be very difficult to achieve due to problems China would have in landing and supplying troops, Taiwan’s Defence Ministry said in its latest threat assessment.
Tensions between Taipei and Beijing, which claims the democratically-ruled island as its own territory, have risen in the past two years as China steps up military activities near Taiwan to pressure it to accept Chinese rule.
It’s not a claim!
Look at the map on Wikipedia!
No one disagrees – Taiwan is CHINA.
You people might think “oh but Anglin, you say the same thing about the Ukraine” – and it is true I don’t recognize that the Ukraine is a country. But that is a completely different situation, as Ukraine is internationally recognized as a country – therefore, I am the one making the “claim” that it isn’t a country.
With Taiwan, it is the reverse. The media is making a “claim” that goes against totally recognized international agreements.
In a report to lawmakers, Taiwan’s Defence Ministry said China’s transport capacity was at present limited, it would not be able to land all its forces in one go, and would have to rely on “non-standard” roll-on, roll-off ships that would need to use port facilities and transport aircraft that would need airports.
“However, the nation’s military strongly defends ports and airports, and they will not be easy to occupy in a short time. Landing operations will face extremely high risks,” the ministry said in its report, a copy of which was reviewed by Reuters.
China’s logistics face challenges too, as any landing forces would need to be resupplied with weapons, food and medicines across the Taiwan Strait that separates the two, it added.
“The nation’s military has the advantage of the Taiwan Strait being a natural moat and can use joint intercept operations, cutting off the Communist military’s supplies, severely reducing the combat effectiveness and endurance of the landing forces.”
China would also need to keep some of its forces in reserve to prevent any foreign forces joining in to help Taiwan and to keep close watch on other fractious areas of China’s border, like with India and in the South China Sea, the ministry said.
“U.S. and Japanese military bases are close to Taiwan, and any Chinese Communist attack would necessarily be closely monitored, plus it would need to reserve forces to prevent foreign military intervention,” it added.
This is like some kind of Tony Robbins thing.
Seriously – what the hell are these people even talking about?
Like – is the Taiwanese Defense Ministry being advised by Jussie Smollett?
This is Afghanistan Part II.
“The Invasion of Taiwan is Very Hard,” brought to you by the producers of “The Kabul Government Will Stand for Six Months.”
No “Taiwanese military” is going to defend the ZOG occupation government, just like no “Afghan military” defended the ZOG occupation government.
Civilians at air traffic control at commercial airports will get coms from PRC Y-20s and say without hesitation “you’re clear to land.”
The PRC pilots will reply “graciously thankfulness. Welcome home, brothers.”
“Long live Xuan-Yuan.”
The only thing in Taiwan that is “very hard” is Tsai Ing-wen’s face.
