Br careful what you wish for. I realize that the "experts" on TV aren't as accomplished as the "experts" on this board, but, from what I have read and heard, the U.S. is not prepared. We are stretched thin. Numbers are down. This administration is not the ones to be saber rattling.

        I support Taiwan status quo, i.e. against Taiwan independence, against taking over Taiwan by force - Eli - 12:21am 8/5/22
- Problem is that Twitter bios already have a Ukrainian flag. No room to commemorate dead Taiwanese. [NT] - Cole - 9:20pm 8/4/22
- Agreed.Thankfully,Pelosi made trip against WH advice-imagine the precedent if China threat worked - BaronVonZemo - 7:09pm 8/4/22

    - We have a combat seasoned professional military… - Domer From Hell - 8:27pm 8/4/22
      - Beyond ignorant. China has 3 aircraft carriers, not 1. U.S. has 11 in service, not 12. But only - Eli - 10:16pm 8/4/22
        You’re beyond dumb… - Domer From Hell - 11:53pm 8/4/22
        
        They have two. One is for helicopters. - Chris94 - 11:21pm 8/4/22
        You're the only one in the world saying one of China's aircrafts is only for helicopters. - Eli - 11:53pm 8/4/22
        Still no match for our Navy…. - Domer From Hell - 11:58pm 8/4/22
        I'd have to bet we have subs in the area, they would take out their carriers pretty quickly. [NT] - notredame678 - 9:06am 8/5/22
        Agree [NT] - Domer From Hell - 10:04am 8/5/22
        
        If we are counting mini-carriers for VTOL craft, our count goes up. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 11:26pm 8/4/22
        We have 12 of those [NT] - Chris94 - 11:33pm 8/4/22
  - Yeah, but they might be thinking about striking while we don't have a commander in chief. - NedoftheHill - 6:50pm 8/4/22
    - I think China is all talk… - Domer From Hell - 8:32pm 8/4/22

        I'm hearing it and reading it from the usual TV retired Generals and Lt Colonels. - ELP - 11:55am 8/5/22
        Try turning the channel to other new sources than Fox bro... - Domer From Hell - 12:18pm 8/5/22
        Did I say Fox bro? Did I mention any channels bro? Relax bro. You may get your war. [NT] - ELP - 12:49pm 8/5/22
        Oh stop it, Eli...errrrrr....ELP. I don't want war... - Domer From Hell - 12:55pm 8/5/22
