Previously, I mentioned that for China to take over Taiwan, it first has to destroy American bases in Japan, and on Guam where I happen to live. A Washington Times report called “U.S. victory for Taiwan’s freedom from China comes at high price” agrees:
“U.S. bases on the U.S. island of Guam also would be hit by Chinese missiles and destroyed in the first hours of a war. In all but five of the war simulations, China attacked U.S. bases in Japan, Mr. Heginbotham said.”
They are saying that this inevitable war will probably occur sometime during the next six or seven years, or possibly sooner. Of course, they are claiming that the U.S. will be successful, and that Taiwan will remain free. However, all sides will suffer terrible loss in human lives, military hardware, human suffering and economic repercussions.
