Yeah, i'll let u enjoy the exoticism of the concept of military preventive measures and how the US have brilliantly used it during at least the last 20 years, till very recently, (gosh, memory became that short term that nobody got the references...) and of the language through which i expressed it as much as u want!
And if u dont mind, i actually particularly like the number 36, really ^^
Also, sorry boys, but by being so sure of ur big military without even really allowing any doubts u make such Putin boys of urselves! The Russian and US militaries are way different, at so many levels, but that blind confidence just because of being 'big' really isnt a tactical advantage at all, for both of them...
On the other hand u have a China that is still trying to build its military power, so gotta try to look for most efficient solutions and also the most challenging ones regarding the US, and, u know, they like to observe what others do to inspire themselves..
Unlike Russia in Ukraine, China would be a growing challenger here, challenging an apparently very sure of itself established power
so, on one hand, the US is full of itself because of how "big" it is, then, in the very next freaking paragraph, China is a capable challenger. Because of what exactly? How experienced their men and equipment are? Obviously not. The only way the Chinese military is "better" than the US is in manpower size....ya know, "big".
Moreover US said they would respond if China invades Taiwan, means they'll wait the invasion to do something? Just like in Ukraine?
Well, we are doing with Taiwan some of what we did with Ukraine since 2014,
training them. It would be nice if we trained more and added "arming" them to the list of ways we are helping, but they are in a far better position vis-a-vis the PRC than Ukraine is to Russia. 100 plus miles of open ocean is a Big Deal
TM militarily speaking.
When does it starts? Especially when u know that while the war in Ukraine was starting China was fully militarily surrounding the island already
I think that, if China actually has such an agenda, they might use some more time to build their strategical positions and equipments, but, sometimes u just dont decide in advance whats the best moment, so who knows what and when...
this is true. As we saw with Putin, sometimes (every time?) dictators are lied to about things that lead them to make really really stupid choices. Perhaps Pooh is as big of a fool as Vlad the Incompetent. I don't think he is and I think watching Putin fail horribly in Ukraine is clearing his mind of any military adventures he might have been having for at least a decade.
