Rare? They’ve been overperforming this year.
To be far, Market Garden was Monty's fuck up. My advisor in college was convinced that if they'd shuffled some of the units around, they might have actually pulled it off, but the ETO's problem was too many egos in too small a continent and Eisenhower had to soothe all of them. I mean, Patton almost got Monty killed in a plane crash, because fuck that guy. "Oh sure, that runway is completely long enough for you to land that personal B-17 you won use of in a bet."
The western pacific is exactly like Europe was just prior to June 28th, 1914. Everyone has a lot of guns, a lot of soldiers, and several interlocking alliances. It won't be Taiwan and the US vs China. It'll be China and North Korea vs Taiwan, US, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, etc... The entire region is gonna be nothing but missiles and aircraft being thrown back and forth at each other like javelins and spears. Taiwan doesn't have to last a couple weeks. It has to out last the amount of time it takes the Chinese economy to crash from lack of exports or imports. Remember China is a net importer of food. No ships in their ports means millions of hungry chinamen.
And to be honest, that cunt just wasn't a good artist. I've always thought she sucked and never understood why anyone would pretend she's any good.
MST3K The Movie was a personal favorite of mine.
NO, MUH EPSTEIN FILES!
Yes, I believe the ancestors of the Palestinians killed Jesus. It wasn't the only time religious leaders persecuted a heretic, and doesn't justify their land being stolen by modern Kikes (Europeans who follow a wacky fairytale allegedly based on Temple Judaism).
Win? How many X corpses bring Y's sons back to life? Both countries will be ruined.
I'd be more scared of an isolated Taiwan to be honest. Even if we generously assume their covert nuclear weapons programme hasn't been restarted, they've got a robust missile industry, one easily capable of drowning hundreds of millions of PRC residents living downriver from any big dam. Their chemical industry isn't anything to ignore either.
Note that even when Ukraine had a manpower advantage, they never attempted to land on Crimea nor did Russia ever attempt a seaborne assault against Odessa.
Sadly there's plenty of disgruntled Chinese "American" veterans willing to help.
They have modern Abrams now, along with a worldclass defence industry
Preparing for the biggest naval invasion of all time will take weeks, easily enough time to respond.
The Chinese forces in Korea were civil war veterans, arguably more experienced than the Americans, They still lost.
Fuzhou not Shanghai. I think the biggest role for Taiwanese artillery is blowing up ships while they are being loaded.
That and anti-ship missiles are both more powerful and easy to relocate.
Not to mention Taiwan and their many information channels in China. I wouldn't be surprised if Xi's rivals wouldn't jump at the opportunity to humilliate the yellow bear.
Archive.org has a fan edit that inserts all the deleted scenes back in.
Hot take: I don't care anymore what he does in Iran as long as it doesn't become a 10+ year quagmire we spend trillions of dollars for. I hope he brings back Persia
What's worse is the fucking state department (which is responsible for issuing passports) will bend over backwards to help you get a fucking passport if you're having "trouble" getting one (including financially if it's a cost thing).
They're lying. On purpose. They're propagandists spreading disinformation for pay. In a just world they'd all be hanged in public and left to bleach in the sun. In the absence of proper justice, the best we can do is mercilessly mock them, prevent people from listening to them, educate people how to spot their lies, and offer them no succor in times of strife.
Until the Kingdom of Jerusalem is restored everyone should. Allowing Christ-deniers to control of the holy land while it's being defiled is an unforgivable sin.
You can't really blame American troops for that one. It was just a bad plan.
All me btw. Not gay but lied on 100,000,000 polls to confuse the Jews and democrats and republicans.
