And that carrier group will be replaced on station with another from a less volatile region just in case. Plus we have the unsinkable carriers of Japan and Guam who are ready to drop the hammer at a moments notice. And Taiwan themselves have been spending decades building up their defensive capabilities. China getting froggy would be a very stupid decision, especially with everything that has happened over the past few years. Venezuela had quite a lot of Chinese hardware that proved to be less than worthless against a motivated US, and that HAS to worry them.

George Washington is home ported in Yokosuka Japan and is parked there since December. They can be on station where the Lincoln was very quickly.

GDF and anti-US/Israeli leftists in the comments are currently seething that their greatest ally collapsing in on itself, blaming those damned American Imperialists (for the Iranian Government's own incompetence at managing an economy).

Lmao this BRICS fellator was popping up on my YT for months until I finally just banned the channel
 
While the yoo-kay deserves everything coming to it; I do feel sorry for strong patriots there standing up for their rights.
I pray to The Lord the Ayyotollah’s Regime falls soon.

I found an interview with Khomeini dating at 1979 by Oriana Fallaci. 6 months after the regime was founded.

Haven’t read the whole thing yet but Khomeini talks like a blabbering leftist but a muzzy and tries to dodge optic challenging questions, thankfully the interviewer hates his guts so she keeps pressing on.

Fun fact:
Khomeini doesn’t know Bach, Beethoven or Verdi.

Iranian baby boomers and Gen X'ers overthrew the Shah, probably one of the most intelligent leaders in the Middle East, for this guy. Never forget that.

Its 100% this, islam for some bizarre fucking reason is OBSESSED with the idea of fatalism and pre destination. In short islam believes that before you're even born your life has already been written from start to finish and there's really nothing you can do about it other than be grateful to the most merciful©TM. This mentality is heavily rampant in islamic societies and is effectively why Muslims suck at long term planning because its considered kufr to suggest you know better than allah. It doesn't help that its a heavily nihilistic viewpoint since it leads to muzzies effectively not really giving a shit about their own life and for the few self aware muzzies, this leads to a self destructive path that ends with them becoming a bunch of brainless pedo worshipping retards.

There's also the other uncomfortable questions it raises like:

1.if someones life has already been written down, doesn't that mean that hes predestined to hell?

2.if someone gets severely injured in a preventable car accident that means your god wanted this to happen to you and you should be grateful about it.

3. The question muzzies struggle with but, would that mean that the kuffar are basically pre destined to hell since allah effectively fucked them over before they were even born.

4. The forbidden question but if allah has decided everything then ex muslims are of his doing rather than themselves. The copout by muslims is that those peoples hearts are sealed by allah forever and will never enter jannah which means that he not only destined them to disbelief himself, HE ALSO ALREADY DESTINED THEM TO HELLFIRE BEFORE ABDULLAH EVEN ALLAHU AKBAR'ED INSIDE FATIMAS CAMEL TOE!

in short;islam is a fucking stupid religion and muhammad should've been raped by me. Thank you everyone.

It is possible on the level of "Aliens might arrive" or "the sun could explode".
As flat-footed as the US is, China would be even more so. @Mr. Racewar1488 and @Myrtle the Turtle put it down pretty well under your post.

Invading Taiwan would be a massive undertaking for China, they would need to move a lot of assets into position and they suck balls at force projection.

Personally I'd argue with Donald "We just stole your president" Trump in the whitehouse, the Chinese would be very UNLIKELY to try anything with Taiwan because of the odds the US saying "We don't have fucking time for this" and just going full safety-off on the Chinese invasion forces & land-based support. Since unlike Chink and Soviet weapns, the US's weapons work (until stocks are exhausted).

This is the strongest argument for the US going in. Its more likely they wait for more forces to be in the area, so next week or the week after, but I fear the protests will have lost a lot of momentum.

We didn't have anything in place for Midnight Hammer either.
(but see my previous posts about this not being a one-and-done affair so I generally agree with you)

Don't forget the Sino-Vietnamese war where the Chi-Coms captured a couple of cities in the north of Vietnam and then ran away when the Vietnamese began sending their actual army to take back the territory back. This was at the same time as their occupation of Cambodia. Then you have the Chi-Com peacekeepers in Sudan getting their shit pushed in because their 2nd LTs can't fathom the idea of making decisions without asking higher ranking officers. An invasion of Taiwan would need the Benny Hill theme playing the whole time they're trying to take a beach.

Sino-Vietnamese is even better than that, given the KtD ratio and the fact that chinese conscripts were dying of starvation because they had no logistics.

I don't think the chinese invasion force even makes it to the beach, I'm pretty sure anti-shipping missiles blow the transports up in the strait.

TBCF he is most likely larping/posturing; this was the era of the taliban and other extreme fundie groups in islam, music is haram, so he's saying "Who even are those guys? I'm too busy studying the Quran to know about any of that stuff."; it'd be like some guy "Anime? I don't watch that, that's for losers" knowing his Sub Rips of "I Isekiaed into a World where you power up by gooning" are buried deep in his Homework folder.

Very unlikely.

For one, China gearing up to invade Taiwan is China gearing up to go to war against the US, NATO, South Korea, Japan and basically every other neighbouring country they've spent the better part of 20 years pissing off. It's defacto them starting World War 3.

That kind of build-up would be very difficult, if not outright impossible, to hide.

The only other alternative would be for them to sneak in and take the island so fast no one has the chance to react, but Taiwan is not an easy nut to crack, so they need to accumulate enough mass to ensure a successful amphibious assault.

There's also the fact that pretty much every notable Chinese ally is in some kind of trouble. Russia is bogged down in Ukraine, Venezuela got decapitated, which in turn fucked Cuba over, Iran is on the cusp of civil war. The only ally not shitting itself is NK, and well, it's fucking North Korea - besides bombing Seoul and then getting erased off the map via retaliatory strikes there's not much help they can offer.

Islam is the product of brown dysgenics and low IQ.

I tend to stress this fact because I often see people coping by blaming Islam for the retardation of browns, when it's in fact the low IQ of browns that has created Islam. I do this mostly to combat the retarded argument that there are "good" browns out there - there's not, they always chimp out, ideology or religion just gives them an excuse, the underlaying cause is their genetics.

In a way, Islam was an attempt to reign in the nigger-tier destructive tendencies of Arabs. Anyone that takes a look at the history of the Arab peninsula before the advent of Islam will note it was an even more savage shithole.

Naturally, browns being browns, not even the most oppressive and despotic religion out there can fully suppress their animalistic urges.

I wouldn't underestimate the Chinese. They can't make advanced weapons until they can, they're incompetent and a paper tiger until they aren't.

That being said, their military hasn't fought an actual war against a serious opponent since the 1950s, and they have never fought a modern war against anyone. And we can't ignore the historically consistent problem of nepotism, corruption, graft and lying that has been a trend in the Chinese military across multiple governments.

People like to shit on the US and mock them for all manner of military fuckups and gaffes, but at the end of the day the US military is the single most experienced and battle hardened army on the globe.

They've been conducting military operations overseas, thousands of kilometres away from the US proper, for close to a century now, and have been engaged in some kind of military action for most of that time. You can't just spawn that kind of institutional experience out of thin air.

Yeah, any war with China would also have us taking out NK as a threat

One set of comparisons & contrasts that I've always found interesting is that between Islam on one hand, and Calvinist Christianity on the other. Both feature predetermination as a core part of their religious doctrines, both are inclined towards fatalism and a deeply pessimistic view of humanity as a consequence, and both tended to be extraordinarily violent with heretics, heathens & generally anyone who gets in their way when they have power (Islam's blood-soaked history aside, the Calvinist side includes people like Oliver Cromwell and the Swedish kings who made their kingdom into an empire, men who killed & destroyed on a crazy scale even by the standards of their especially turbulently niggerish time; Cromwell's campaign in Ireland wiped out 20-40% of the population there, the Swedish intervention into the already extremely destructive 30 Years' War inaugurated its bloodiest & most intense phase and they also royally fucked Poland-Lithuania in the Deluge right after, etc.).

It can be argued that modern wokery, SJWism, whatever you want to call it is Calvinism without God (and further worth noting that New England, probably the single greatest bastion of modern leftism in the US - even California at least has as many Republicans as Texas! - used to be the stronghold of the Puritans, who themselves were hardline Calvinists, in America).

And yet. Calvinist societies have produced significant upsides in the long term. They tend to be well-ordered & disciplined, very productive (not for nothing is the 'Protestant work ethic' also known as the Calvinist or Puritan work ethic), certainly capable of considerable innovation and producing pretty sharp thinkers & inventors (Leonhard Euler - mathematician, Samuel Morse - inventor & namesake of Morse code, etc.). You don't really see much of that from Islam, and I don't believe even the Mongol invasions are an excuse since it's not like Calvinist countries didn't get raped in the various great European wars of early modernity either.

It's quite interesting to think about. I don't even think it's necessarily a racial thing, white (literally Caucasian, particularly North Caucasian) peoples like the Chechens who converted to Islam long ago are just as destructive & unproductive in totality as, say, Syrian rapefugees or the various niggers killing each other (all Muslim BTW) by the hundreds of thousands over in Sudan. Just look at all the Chechens carrying out terrorist attacks across the West over the last couple decades, like the Boston bombers or the teacher beheader in France. It's like Islam itself is a sort of mind virus, spiritual niggery really, similar to but still distinct from - let's say - Hinduism (where the opposite seems to be true in that the niggery is primarily genetic/racial rather than religious/psychological, Balinese Hindus for example have a reputation for being a very chill, clean & hospitable folk to the point that Bali consistently remains one of the world's most popular tourist regions, unlike Uttar Pradesh and the jeets living there; Indonesia in general makes for a great contrast to Pakistan/India, with their Hindus being objectively cooler people than their Muslims vs. the opposite being the case - and by a much smaller margin - in the subcontinent).

I do but a good % of it being from Western Europe's historical total execution policy for criminals cutting them out them out of the genepool. Not to say that other parts of the world weren't brutal but they also mostly practiced clan politics which meant a clan wouldn't execute a criminal of their own stock while would happily kill a productive member of another opposing clan.
 
Islam: the abomination lovechild of pagan sand nigger moon worship, corrupted Judaism, and various Christian heresies corrupted even more than they were already, a retard monster baby jizzed on by a pedophile sand nigger. Back to topic

No. As you see from this thread and the wonderful work by @Mr. Racewar1488 you can't just suddenly decide to invade a country/anything, especially one as geo-politically divisive as Taiwan, these actions require build up and planning all of which are clearly seen from space (you can't exactly hide a carrier from a satellite). Even Oct 7th and 9/11 weren't exactly "surprises" either. The clues were all there, one just has to put them together. This type of "prediction" is part "science/pattern recognition/academic" and part "art". Connect unrelated patterns and you end up scizoposting. Don't connect enough? Well you turn into Ukraine on the eve of the Russian invasion or America during 9/11 or Israel on Yom Kippur/oct 7.
