Australia's military is now a hot commodity because of their shiny new submarines.

No offense to Taiwan.  But if it's war against China.  Their 24.5 million in population is a rounding error in China.  Taiwan would have to fight dirty in order to even have a chance to win that war.

Most other countries have no issue fighting dirty

When I say dirty.  I mean WMD's and Nukes.  More Syria dirty, than Muslim hide in schools and hospitals dirty.

If those two countries really got into a war the odds that it stays between just the two of them is very small.  If no one supports Taiwan then you're setting a dangerous precedent with China and if you do support them then maybe it snowballs and turns into something much bigger.

If Taiwan gets attacked Japan and South Korea immediately retaliate which means we're automatically at war with China. Then Europe and Russia get involved and it's WWIII.

Sounds like a completely shitty situation

I don't know about the order of retaliation or joining in but WWIII or close to it is my thought too.  I'd like to think most people/countries don't want war but if China isn't checked assuming they attack Taiwan then it's only going to get worse.  It's a no win situation if something happens between those two.

The U.S. will stay neutral for as long as possible again.*

that's exactly what it is. but it's also how both world wars started - alliances and treaties here and there promising that if your ally was attacked, you'd join in and help them, and vice versa.

this could get ugly quickly.

23 million in a planet of billions. This is not a World War.

The Japan and South Korea alliance will be interesting. They’re still arguing about whether the Korean women were willing sluts or raped 70 years ago

What’s hilarious is the libs view China as this benign power that we can’t defeat so no sense trying. Same fuckers believe we can drive a Prius and change weather patterns and overcome the All Mighty’s timeline for destruction

I still don't get why any of you have an issue with China and their actions. They've been nothing short of honorable in the last two years and tried so hard to contain what eneded up being a global pandemic. They are a good global citizen.

I remember when Bush said something similar after 9/11. Trump was at least right on a China. From Bill to Biden , everyone else has kissed their ass. 

[Kotchman]

Don’t forget about Russia. They would welcome the opportunity to rebuild the motherland and Europe really diesnt have the balls to stop them.

I got the sarcasm. I think for once I agree with Rally.
