Grim Reaper 6 Posted April 7, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2021 China's armed forces conducted simultaneous military exercises to the west and east of Taiwan on Monday in a move analysts said was a warning to the self-ruled island and its supporter, the United States. A 'warning' from Beijing China's maneuvers Monday demonstrated its military superiority over Taiwan, Shi Hong, executive chief editor of Chinese magazine Shipborne Weapons, said in a Global Times report. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/china-flanks-taiwan-with-military-exercises-in-air-and-sea/ar-BB1fnEa9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aztek Posted April 7, 2021 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2021 sad thing is it would take china no more than a week to completely destroy, invade Taiwan, and usa will do absolutely nothing about, aside from few useless sanctions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homie we chose a side at the literal start of their civil war . But in all seriousness I don't think it even counts as a civil war at this point. It's been too long and the nations are too independent. The war ended. Now it would be like if North Korea invaded South Korea. That's not a civil war anymore, that's just a war between two independent nations. Or like if the UK invaded the US.

Regardless, Taiwan had power of veto and now aren't even recognised as a member. It's not up to me to make your introduction of veto relevant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
