Ah, so they've reached the "we've screwed up everything at home so bad we need to invade the neighbors as a distraction" of socialism now?

Err... sounds vaguely familiar ;)

Well the U.S. hasn’t invaded Canada or Mexico in a while 🤷‍♂️

I'm not entirely opposed to the idea. Presumably both Canada and Mexico have more secure borders that we can steal to insulate ourselves against the invading hordes.

If there was ever a leader worthy of regime change, it’s Justin Trudeau. Unfortunately, I’m sure whoever Biden would replace him with would be somehow worse.

If the USA annexes Mexico, all Mexicans get to be anchor parents and "undocumented migrants" to America, AND they can pay for a wall along a random stretch of land within the American nation.

Does Venezuela HAVE a military to even invade with? Didn't a few years ago one of their naval ships get wrecked by a civilian vessel?

Yeah, actually. It's obviously going to be in terrible shape, but they have a couple of combat helicopters for example, while Guyana has no combat aircraft and their air defense is a couple MANPADS. I guess Guyana will have to rely either on America saving them or Maduro turning an invasion attempt into a gigantic fuckup where the various gangs controlling Venezuela's armed forces start shooting at each other.

I'm betting the gangs would probably turn on each other than risk dealing with a possible US counterattack. If they dependant on attack helicopters maybe finally we can see the F22 in action as that would ground them all.

There's also the possibility Argentina joining in to support Guyana as their new leader is VERY anti commie, Brazil isn't in shape to interfere as if their more commie leading leader tried to help Venezuela that might reignite public hatred of him. Overall it seems like the worst move trying anything militarily especially since Biden DESPERATELY wants a war to be a 'war time president'

The US won't get involved. Our currently cheap oil is propped up by SPR dumps and non-enforcement of embargos. The moment either falls would be a disaster to the 2024 election.

Unfortunately, this is a serious problem. It doesn't matter that the enemy has a shit army if you don't have any.

This is one of the reasons I'm concerned about Taiwan. They have a military force, but it is in worse shape compared to China, which is saying something. They've only recently started updating their forces, but there's a real chance that Biden could be bribed to delay the deployment of a US Naval fleet in the event of an invasion for several months. Could Taiwan survive 90 days without reinforcements against a Chinese invasion? Maybe, at best. They should be able to go for a year, but I'd seriously doubt it.

That would also depend on Japan not getting involved too, in order to attack Taiwan they'd need to attack Japan and the Philippines too, not with an invasion but with a huge ballistic missile strike.

If Japan's Navy and Air force is still functioning after then they can harass the hell put of any amphibious assault force, plus Japan can easily be made the staging area for relief forces to be deployed.

I know it won't happen, but in the event of a war between China and Japan I really want Japan to suddenly unveil that they've been working on a secret Giant Mecha program for decades now and have hundreds of the things ready to deploy.

"Hey why isn't the newest season of Gundam animated? Where did they get the budget to do live action?"

"That's not a new season, you're watching the news and their budget came from the Japanese government!"

I'd settle if they could make MAWLRs from Killzone, that seems more doable than Gundams right now..

I'm not sure that Japan and the Philippines are going to risk it if the Americans won't back up Taiwan, and China pinky-swears not to invade them next. Those countries are going to feel awful lonely out there.

– SoctaticMethod1 1 point 2 years ago +1 / -0

If China invades Taiwan, they HAVE to attack Japan and the Philippines too in the initial bombardment. Not doing so leaves them vulnerable to attack by the Japanese Navy and means that the nearby American base and Carrier with F35 are in range.

Also when it comes to airpower, fun fact, the number 4 is deemed extremely unlucky in Asian culture as it sounds the same as death, so a lot of places skip the 4th floor or in the military they'll start after 4 so there's no risk of using it.

So about China's 5th generation aircraft...

Nobody goes to war in the Americas without America' sayso.

If America is not at least tacitly behind this, I bet they would oppose an invasion militarily.

Only war allows them to sweep their colossal number of fuckups under the carpet in the way they need.

Civil war, or international war, they're really not fussed which.

Makes sense, being a philosophy of power and wealth acquisition to begin with. At a fundamental level you have to accept that the State, enacting "the will of the people" (whether it's run by a dictator or you pretend to be Democratic Socialist), may decide who will pay it taxes in tribute, and may use force to seize that wealth. It's for the greater good.

Taxation simply doesn't have to be done. And a "greater good" is debatable, which is why there should be some kind of electoral system.

Guyana, the English speaking part of South America. This will be interesting to watch. I expect welcome signs in Spanish, and people trying to sound authentically guyanan in Spanish. French Guyana will be even more hilarious.
