I was reading the news today and saw a couple articles that claim a US backed battle of Taiwan could end with the Americans losing half their attack aircraft. Is the cost really worth it in the end?
Is Taiwan even worth it if the cost is this high?

So far there have been 22 rounds of simulated warfare, 18 of which involved the allied forces suffering intense losses, with Chinese missiles sinking a large portion of deployed US and Japanese ships and vehicles.
China’s missiles would also be able to demolish “hundreds of aircraft on the ground”.
Cancian explained that the US would be most effective by attacking Beijing’s amphibious ships before establishing air superiority.
“The reason for the high US losses is that the United States cannot conduct a systematic campaign to take down Chinese defences before moving in close,” he said.
“The United States must send forces to attack the Chinese fleet, especially the amphibious ships, before establishing air or maritime superiority.”
In one iteration, the US lost more than 900 aircraft

If America wins China will probably collapse and we all can just chill for a couple decades. I say it's probably worth.
Gavin Bailey
Even if America wins they'll have about half their current military power. Meaning Other nations like Russia and Pakistan can start shit and America won't be able to go around the world and fuck them up
Jose Peterson
We said that about 9/11 and things have never been less chill.
Justin Anderson
Pakistan has to deal with India and Russia with Europe it's not totally fucked without America and I think China is the only nation America has to take seriously in terms of a military conflict. Even with half a military America would probable still stomp any nation.
Colton Campbell
Not to sound American, but pretty sure if we even lost half that's still half more than the rest of the major powers.
Evan Parker
The problem would be the type of loses. It would be the forces America uses to project force abroad.

>Is the cost really worth it in the end?
In return, communists will lose 100% of ships, sailors and officers committed
Bentley Perez
It has to be worth it as long as chip manufacturing stays so overly localized to taiwan.

Finland really are retards. China is a nuclear power. If they think its over they'll just launch everything they have. At best America sinks the first attempt at a cost of half their aircraft. Then they'll be in an arms race to rebuild before the Chinese can attempt it again. It won't be America beating the Taiwan invasion then attacking mainland China
John Jenkins
I hate america and china so it's worth it
Alexander Reyes
Finns have turned into a bunch of retarded poles since the great vodka disagreement started in Ukraine.

its very simple, when ships go to the bottom of the sea unexpectedly so do the sailors, they drown
I just know more about organized violence than you
Henry Nguyen
>Implying those nations weren't bombed into poverty.
I mean I get your point but the world isn't black n white.
Zachary Morales
The only organized violence you know about is when your uncle and dad sexually assaulted your asshole
Brayden Davis
No taiwan, no more microchips. They've still not caught up the back orders from Covid. Not a bad thing but a fact.
Luis Nelson
That would be good desu.
Jonathan Martinez
by the content of your message I can tell you're probably some kind of government employee
Anthony Diaz
Loose Taiwan and most of the western world looses computer chips, which in turn loses everything eventually.

>americans enter war with China and immediantly surrender and give them everything up to Hawaii to save some money
Then the US mutt wakes up and sighs in relief knowing the military industrial complex wont allow that
Gavin Nelson
>to save some money
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how American government works.
