US Colonel Douglas MacGregor: War with China over Taiwan 6,000 miles away is nonsense​

Geographically it will be hard even considering logistical support by US bases in the vicinity. That's why US is banking on it's close partner nations, QUAD and other anti China groupings.
US homeland is just too far away.

This guy has been consistently wrong for an year now. If one believes him, Russia was supposed to have decimated Ukrainian forces in couple of weeks.

Good luck

Unfortunately, there are plenty of indications now that the US will foolishly intend to intervene militarily in case of war over Taiwan. China better get ready for that.

MacGregor also claimed that Russia will take whole Ukraine in few months That was over year ago.

As for now America i think should focus on their debt problem which is at dangerously higher, from $3trn when it was inaugurated in 1989 to more than $31trn today. its not a time to start fighting on another front with China while also helping Ukraine at the same time

Well US did defeat in WW2 Japan, militarily Japan was more was more powerful at the time excluding nukes. Japan had 10 aircraft carriers and almost 86000 aircraft, 1000 tanks , 100k armored vehicles etc.

This guy is the equivalent of Gordon Chang, lets those who oppose one side hear what they want to hear, like it’s an inevitability, that Europe will sit it out because it is not in their interests.

What he doesn’t speak about is that vested interests on both sides have their own ways to push the smaller players along. Now it becomes a contest of wills and finances. A conflict of attrition, akin to the alliances and build up to WW1.

Yes absolutely, i laugh when someone gives a chance about Taiwan. It s near impossible to defend, China is just waiting for the right moment. China is slow doing things, but they are gonna do that, that is their policy. All americans can do is to arm Taiwan now because they now they have a time lapse where they can arm Taiwan. China is slow and this is the only thing US has.

He wasn't, you are. Had Russians treated the invasion as a 'war', Ukrainian forces would have been decimated. Instead, Putin thought he was just slapping the little brother on the wrist to straighten Ukraine's acts. Russian forces did not at the beginning try to kill Zelensky, bomb Ukraine's radars, power plants, bases, munition depots, airports, etc. That left Ukraine time and breath to recoup and the NATO joined the fights. It's NATO fighting alongside Ukraine against the Russians, in case you didn't know.

And more than one year later, "Majestic" Russian army is preparing for countering Ukraine's coming offensive. Something somewhere is broken in Russian machinery and they will have to keep fighting much longer. What was supposedly a walk in the park, has turned out to be embarrassment for mighty Russia.

But 90% of Indian weapons were bought from Russia.

Embarrassment as in the kill ratio of 1:7, or earlier in the other offensive 1:9? Are you drinking the same shit the CNN is drinking?
