I agree, and that is why the military is going the way it is.
There are literally HUNDREDS of major ports in the US, if not more than that depending on how you define 'major'. There are hundreds more that have the equipment to load and unload vessels, with the only limiting factor being the size of the boat.
Your post just made my tinfoil hat light up.
The biggest mistake we can make is under estimating them. Weaklings or not, with enough training they can still be somewhat effective.
Singapore is not in China. Two entirely different countries. LOL! They are about 1,500++ miles apart from each other (at the closest point).
The fertilizer thing is blown out of proportion in this context. Sure, you need fertilizer to grow 300 bushel / acre of corn, but we’ve grown 100-200 bushel corn easily by simply rotating crops (no fertilizer needed).
Yeah civil war breaks out which side you think the Chinese, Canadians, Mexicans and Europeans are supporting?
Good point on the crop rotation. But you will be Isolated, no fuel to run your tractor or your truck, no electricity. And having to fend off hordes of potential raiders.
Lol, and those troops might, might, be able to stay safe in those large cities but they’d be mowed down as soon as they step foot outside the metro areas. I’d bet a hefty sum that there are over a million guns in those shithole cities alone. Also, as soon as the plan is unfolded in one area, how long before any suspect boats are sabotaged?
Again,, this is just a fantasy/what if scenario, but you dont leave them on the boat to be sunk, they invade immediately. 225,000 trained combat troops could over run any of those cites pretty quickly if they went full bore from the get go, seize control and make threats and demands. The Governors and mayors of all those libtard shitholes would all vote to surrender immediately. There may be a million guns but how many of them are really heavy weapons owned by tactic trained people. Few, and at that point they would have nearly as many combat troops here as we do total military. Taking those cities back would be incredibly costly, Never been there but it looks like urban warfare against a well trained force is near suicide, and with millions of civilians you couldnt just MOAB the cities.
Thats is assuming the city completely breaks down. Living in the South Hurricanes are a common probelm and I have lived though it. You would be surprised how much people put their every day bull shit aside and work together, when every one is down. The number of people who would stand up to the hordes... would easily out number them.
I expect the Taiwanese dont buy a lot from the Chicoms. Probably not a lot of Chinee containers in their harbor.
A hurricane is a completely different scenario . Everyone is still being neighborly. In a lawless shtf scenario your neighbors would kick your door in when their family became ill or hungry. Let alone the gangs . You would be much better off outside of the cities .
Exactly, and if they were able to quickly seize and hold the city centers, it would be a bitch taking them back. They could steal food and water, but munitions Re supply would be a tactical nightmare ,likely impossible.
Afghanistan and all the other countries we destroyed over the years are not full of “tactic trained people” either. At that point (hopefully this never gets past the point of fantasy scenarios) it will come down to the creativity and ingenuity of small bands of very angry people.
Not really practical, although I understand the fantasy portion of it. Transporting that many troops, requires a lot of food, and logistics to prepare the food. Bathroom facilities, water, medical, and climate control. They wouldn't exactly be able to just walk out of the containers, they would be stacked quite high, and many of 'em the doors will be blocked on both sides. Loading 225K troops into containers in chinese ports would be noticed by spy's, and satellites. Lets just say those logistical problems had solutions, just releasing those troops into a city without any support behind 'em from resupply, to heavy weapons, they won't get very far. They'll make rapid progress initially, but as they get more spread out, and start to take losses, their effectiveness vanishes, and then they start to become easy targets. I wouldn't consider chinese troops as battle hardened, a few skirmishes between china and india at best, but they haven't been spending a lot of time getting shot at, or putting their tactics to the test.
How are they going to hold a city center with no logistical support though? No armor, no artillery, air support, let alone resupply, and being outnumbered by hostile insurgents, as well as the invaded nations military that has armor, heavy weapons, the most powerful air force in the world, and all the logistics, to support everything, along with a military that has been engaged in armed conflict for 20 years. China doesn't have the capability to project their power across the see militarily, period.
Agreed, in general. But possession is 9/10 of the law. The heavy weapons couldnt really be used because of the civilian pop. Take the city ccenter and try to hold a lot of hostages.
What makes you think everyone would just go crazy? I disagree with that. Everyone turns on each other logic, it's fanatical paranoid thinking. IMO.
Let's ask these guys.
Taiwan's largest trading partner is China.
Well shiver me timbers mate. How dare you confuse me with facts?
You'll hate this one. The US is more concerned about China invading Taiwan than the Taiwanese people. The Taiwanese .gov of course is concerned only because they will lose their power.
Doesnt surprise me a bit. "Power tends to corrupt....."
I agree they should not be underestimated. That said we fought the GWOT for the last 20 years and there are a shit tons of Vets out there. I got out in 93', that said Bradleys haven't changed that much. What I am getting at is we are trained on the equipment the military is using now. We also can train motivated civilians in case of a civil war.
And of that percentage - how many are at the "shoot people" job class with direct or even indirect fire? In GWOT - how many actually got off the FOBs?

That’s every single war ever fought from the beginning of time. Humans are going to do human shit.
