Cheeto Hitler has been out of the office for less than a week and the CCP is already fucking with Taiwan again. I'm sure the most popular and definitely not completely senile POTUS who absolutely isn't in China's pocket will react swiftly and with great resolve.
The only announcement I'd believe from him that was swift and with great resolve would be if he announced he was sending the Navy down to help China secure Taiwan
That little flypast may be aimed more at precisely that. That many strategic bombers can let loose a lot of anti-shipping missiles, maybe enough to make the USN break sweat swatting them down if it came to it - maybe enough that Biden looks at the potential costs and decides it's not worth risking USN assets to annoy his constituents and lets them have Taiwan.
Is there even a single country with a major military that isn't cucked to China? I have no doubt Russia would fuck China over as soon as it benefits them, but don't see them caring about Taiwan. The best seem like they bend the knee to Xi whenever necessary.
And most people don't know how serious that threat is.
The last major war was Iraq 2003, and it was fought with weapons that were barely better than what was used in 1991, at which point most weapons were the culmination of 70s and 80s tech perfected to fight the Soviet Union in central europe.
The last 18 years since has seen massive leaps in capabilities and lethality. Much of it has been improved specifically to get better accuracy to avoid collateral damage in COIN, but that still means the weapon are far better than what they were two decades ago.
Ironically the "Military Industrial Complex" has received massive funding through the GWOT years, and a lot of it has actually borne fruit in producing better capabilities that would transfer well into a full war.
THIS is the warning shot... this IS going to happen and Biden will do nothing.
Suddenly as an Australian I fear for the future of my country... We have the Landmass, we have the resources, and we already have a fucktonne of Chinese Nationals here already... this sort of posturing without reprimand from America WILL put South East Asia at risk

And this is how WWIII will begin & this time around we won’t be on the allied side
For it to be WW3, there'd have to be a major nation on Taiwan's side.

Remember how Trump dealt with communist dictators threatening democracies?
"They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."
I predict Biden's response will be silence.
Not if you count the drooling old man noises
