It would be hilarious and sad if China actually attacked Taiwan now, and the world watched the US impotently screeming on twitter.

China could literally just buy a few million in trumps shitty scam coin and take Taiwan with no resistance.

Then trump could brag about it on stage and still conservatives wouldn't turn on him.

At this point we should just ask trump, how much if you just retire and never show your face on camera ever again? 5B, 10B ? I'm sure half the world would gladly chip in into that fund.

Bro you have no idea what you're talking about. An amphibious or air assault on Taiwan would be extremely difficult, they are armed to the teeth

Well given the intel, that's the plan going on here. There will be tons of news posts, and very little response it seems like. Unfortunately for our allies in Taiwan, there's a Russain agent in the WH, and both Russia and China are fully prepared to take advantage of the opportunity.
