The US military can defeat a Chinese invasion of Taiwan: Gen. Milley

"I can assure you that we have the capabilities if there were political decisions made in accordance with the Taiwan Relations Act," said Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in response to the senator.


Milley told senators on Thursday taking Taiwan by force would be no easy feat for China's People Liberation Army.

"If you're talking about a military invasion in Taiwan, crossing the straits, the Taiwan straits with a sizable military force to seize an island the size of Taiwan against the military that they have, and the population that they have, that's an extraordinarily complex and difficult operation if, against an unopposed force, that's a very hard thing to do," Milley said.

But Hawley pushed the general on whether the US could militarily block an invasion of Taiwan if Taipei could not resist on its own.

"Yes," Milley replied.

Just like the US defeated Chinese invasion of Ladakh last year?

 

[qwerrty]

yes. no doubt 'bout that.

 

[F-22Raptor]

yes. no doubt 'bout that.

Considering Milley is the top General in the US Armed Forces he would have better insight than just about anyone on the subject matter.

Common sense prevails anywhere. No matter what your general has to say. He cant stop russia from annexing crimea.

How will USA interven? So with 11 aircraft carriers how r u going to stop a neighbouring country ?

Your logic is stupid. Milley is the top General of the US Armed Forces. He’s not a politician and has no ability to make political decisions.

You don't tell ppl you can do it when you can really do it. Confident people just do it, the moment you need to explain yourself, it means you have no confidence.

CN will even surrender if US slap 100% tariff on all CN's goods export to US like what Trump want . US can defeat CN easily without firing a bullet

 

[Han Patriot]

Imagine 30 years ago US saying we are confident we can defeat China. At that time, US don't even need to say it, people know it, China knows it. That's the reason we embarked on this multi decade modernization program.

Gen Milley and DefSec Austin were in testimony before the US Senate Armed Services Committee. Their required, under penalty of perjury, to answer these questions and truthfully before Congress.

The US senate wouldn't even need to Ask that question in the first place right? What do you expect him to answer? We would lose the war badly and if we sent carriers, the beidou and yaogan system will track us and sink our ships using MARV DF26s? Or when we use stealth fighters it can be tracked d by the latest Chinese quantum radars?

CN will even surrender if US slap 100% tariff on all CN's goods export to US like what Trump want . US can defeat CN easily without firing a bullet

So why isn't US doing it now? We killed 500k yankess right? Even trump didn't dare to touch the treasuries...... Come on hero go ahead and forfeit the treasuries. Lolol. Your Papa won't save you when the shafting starts boy, just remember that.

It’s the Senate Armed Services Committee. Their required to ask these type of questions.

And Gen Milley stated they had the capabilities to defeat a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. He made that abundantly clear.

So why isn't US doing it now?

US hasn't slap 100% tariff to CN bcs US also is not the winner but VN bcs she has to buy those products from VN instead.

SO, US is finding out new way to defeat CN but US must be the winner, not VN , very simple to understand
