You can bet US putting everything they have on Taiwan conflict, I won't. what Taiwan is to China is different from what it is to US, US has other interests across the globe, it won't risk losing everything in a reginal conflict, its priority is still on Europe. US knows that Taiwan is so close to China and no one can change this fact and sooner or later Taiwan will be reunited, US may delay it but can't stop it from happening eventually, so risking everything is too big a stake for US to just delay something inevitable for some time.
You are just a big mouth, as always.
All those navy ship will going to replace all your old navy ships that are still servicing now. Most of your battle ship were build in 80s that not capable to fight in a future naval battle.
China should have secretly supplied weapons to Russia. They will regret it later on, even though China will only continue to more powerful economically and militarily.
Keep up the self-glorification, that's what Yankees are good at like US is the indispensable savior and leader of the world indeed the universe. By the way, didn't you run away from the barefooted Taliban in Afghan lately ?GENERAL MARK MILLEY
I wouldn’t say that it is—yet. It may yet develop into that. But we’ve seen some economic assistance; not strong in terms of the military piece of this. Whatever exercises they do are small, relatively inconsequential. I mean, they’re not without consequence, but they’re not huge military exercises together. In terms of military support and lethal support to Russia, nothing really significant yet. The Russians have asked, for sure; they’re asking a lot of countries for ammunition and so on. But there is a relationship, military relationship, with Iran and Russia, for example—that’s not good.
But with China it’s been very, very modest. And President Xi, I would argue that he—very, very tough guy, hard guy, consummate realist. Very ruthless, Chinese Communist Party, very ruthless; but they’re very realist in the sense that they are keenly aware of cost, benefit, and risk, and they too do not want outright armed conflict with the United States. They recognize—the Chinese do—how powerful the United States is. Despite what people may say out there, the Chinese are fully aware of how powerful the United States is. And so they’re not looking for that kind of armed conflict either. They want to achieve their national objectives, but they want to actually do it without armed conflict.
So we’ll see where that goes, but we’re not seeing yet a full-fledged, really cemented, long-lasting, resilient geopolitical alliance between China and Russia. Could that happen in the future? It could, and we need to be wary of that, and we need to do what we can to make sure that doesn’t happen.
They don’t support Russia because China, at its core, fears the United States.
You do know most Chinese ship are also old, look at how many 052D you guys actually have? And then look at how many AB Class Flight 2 and Flight 2A the US have? The "new" ships PLAN built is the 8 Type 055, 25 Type 052D and the Light Carrier they are building. That's not going to be enough to deal with the 52 Flight 2/Flight 2A destroyer
Depends on where the battle is fought, if it's fought around the Taiwan strait, YES.
I agree, Taiwan will just say out of reach, and both sides will probably build up until something economically or politically changes on one side or the other in a few decades.
LOl, by your mouth cannon?
No, by the US Navy.
