China is moving past saber rattling in their actions with Taiwan. Of course it is impossible to know if China is simply ramping up their bluffing for political reasons or are indeed planning an invasion soon. There is probably no better time for China to invade if that is their intent, America becomes weaker by the day, our president is incompetent and may will be compromised, our military leaders are distracted by fluff and LGBQT squirrels. And perhaps most importantly the leading contender for President in 2024 is more likely to negotiate and will undoubtedly reverse our military decline. So the time is right, the Chinese may indeed take Taiwan. But incidentally they may have to destroy an American carrier battle group in the process. This isn't speculation, the fleet is there, our commitment to Taiwan is known and in spite of the enormous capability of a carrier battle group China has overwhelming forces and would succeed in destroying it, at a high cost of course. What is the next logical step for the U.S. if China destroys the fleet killing 12,000 or so sailors in the process? Especially if our president has given away most of our conventional weapons to Ukraine. I believe it will go nuclear within 72 hours of the destruction of the carrier group.
