What is up with this dumb-dumb idea that China would start the war by shooting her plane down
The war would be triggered when China parks a cruiser in front of a US cruiser and the dipshit Qanon brained commander of the US cruiser decides to say fuck it and start shooting at the Chinese cruiser
But don't worry I think your still cool for being sooo above it
Kind. China only has 2 commissioned carriers, one of which is primarily a training ship. Moreover, China doesn't go around waving it's dick in everyone's face like the US does, so those carriers don't stray far from home.
When US carriers come to wave their dicks in China's face, those ships are within range of dozens of airfields and probably thousands of missiles. It's like waving your penis a centimeter away from an active meat slicer and thinking you're winning.
No matter where they are specifically around Taiwan the US ships would still be in range of Chinese airfields and missiles so I'm hoping it would go without incident as it has till now
It's only gone without incident because China exhibits a level of calm and restraint that countries like the US and UK could never possibly match. Just imagine the amount of shrill screeching from the Brits if the PLAN did a freedom of navigation patrol to their illegally occupied islands in the Chagos Archipelago.
I guess I should have invented a completely platonic hypothetical where the actors behave in the exact reversal of how they're being set up in reality. Silly me basing my analysis on the actual thing happening and the threats being made in response.
Magical thinking is when you account for navies....in a political conflict...over an island...in the middle of the ocean. You're very smart
And lmao fuuuck outta here trying to play dumb with US bullshit over Taiwan, it has always been a red line and when you have pentagon officials openly talking about using Taiwan as a launch pad for "future and inevitable operations in the region" your goddamm right its a Chinese red line
Yup. Magical thinking is when you invent an entire series of events that (one would say magically) reverses the order of aggressor to match your preference. China isn't threatening a US head of state for visiting another country. They're... uh... what if boaty shooty?!

Is it a rare occurrence for US and Chinese carriers to be near each other?

lmao shut up nerd
At least I'm not inventing completely unrelated scenarios to paper over my magical thinking
Oh shit. I have to explain how the US is being aggressive when China is the one threatening to fire first. Wait! What if there are boats!
lmao fuck yourself telling me to shut up

Lmao baby brain
Do you even have any idea what you are talking about?
Yes.
Doubt
Have fun with that.
I have the advantage of my position being provable.
Either China starts a world war and we all die, or I come back here tomorrow fully vindicated by time.
You're all very stupid for arguing with me. And you'll never be in a position to say that yourself.
