Could Taiwan realistically hold back a PRC naval invasion, or would they desperately need allied support?
>>30599534
Realistically?
Taiwan would get rekt without the USA.
>>30599534
Just PLAN vs Taiwan? Hell no.
>>30599534
They'd lose on sea and in the air, but not without doing a more-than-expected amount of damage first. People severely underestimate how effective they could be in a defensive land campaign though.

>Could Taiwan realistically hold back a PRC naval invasion
BAHAHAHA! Good luck with that.
>>30599534
No. We better put some bases there to be safe. I never slept with a Taiwanese before.
Taiwan should cut a deal with Japan and America to host bases.
China will never invade Taiwan with two very powerful potential opponents having troops there.
We should move our troops from Okinawa to Taiwan.
If China ever invaded Taiwan, we would either be drawn in or lose all credibility. We're better off putting troops there to prevent China from ever invading.
>>30599534
As a Taiwanese person. No not really. Air superiority and naval superiority would be lost without the USA coming through.
Though we would inflict probably more casualties than expected considering all the defenses parked facing the strait. Also the entire strait is a minefield along with that.

>We should move our troops from Okinawa to Taiwan
ohhhh, a new strain of chinks for our Marines and sailors to rape and kill
>>30599879
It'll just be the US. Reasons so is:
>A.) Nipland's Defense Force are full of social outcasts and determined fellas, let alone, nonexistant levels of combat experienced officers
>B.) The population is dominated by naive and retarded leftists who are stupidly pacifists to the point that they're legitimately fine cucking their own sovereignty
>C.) Taiwan agrees with PLA China's claim on the Senkaku islands and South China Sea
>D.) Hate tradition between Nips and Taiwan due to being the same government that got their shit wrecked by the Nips and weakened afterwards only to get kicked out by Mao's Commies
>>30599924
Oh there's a simple deterrent to that. Tell the troops if they do any shit, they'll be tried by the Taiwanese and go to a Taiwanese prison.
The PRC in 2016 is so massive that Taiwan would be taken in a week.
Anyone know how good is China's ability to actually move troops across the strait?
>>30600095
Just "Iraq Insurgency" the PRC.
>>30600089
That already happens in Japan and Japanese jails are fucking miserable, but "youth" marines still rape and murder.
>>30600095
The issue is not the size.
The issue is that the Chinese Navy is terrible. They would obviously win a pure land battle. I don't even think the US Army can defeat the PLA.

What is a Zaibatsu.

good job. your family can eat tonight
also
>a week
If it takes an entire seven days to take an island the size of Maryland, you're a terrible military.
Hold back a naval invasion with what?
Didn't we just sell them like five defunct destroyers and laughed when they asked for a carrier?
>>30599534
Only if they do what the Viet Cong did.
>>30601361
He meant Taiwan.
>>30600133
>Insurgency on the sea
Yea, no. China can just blockade Taiwan and they'll insurge themselves to starvation.
>>30599534
>could taiwan ever defend themselves against china
Bruh
>>30599950
>Social outcasts
The soldiers aren't social outcasts, they're the ones who actually got a job thus preventing becoming loners.
>>30599534
What is the realistic chances anyhow of a Chinese invasion? I think the day of full scale military annexation is somewhat over.
Look at Russia and their Ukraine/Crimea shenanigans. The whole world is still wringing their hands over it.

lol
Only because you have a US calling the shots right now, but the US is in rapid decline, if Hillary gets in and appoints 4 more leftist supreme court judges.... Then its game over for the US.
