Nuclear War

Maybe he is right. Look at history, the fall of Rome. The barbarians outnumber the Romans and took.over. It is already 40/60 now, John. The Mexicans don't even pretend to like us. The blacks are knocking down history all.around me. I am learning from history. Maybe you should consider these aspects too. It looks like I am not alone on this board with my doubts. What I see in America is despair and resignation. I have been following this site for a long time, but only now do I feel the need to post something. I don't think you know what is going on outside of your house in Boston. America is collapsing into a 3rd world country and a lot of people have given up.

Maybe in some areas it seems like this. Everyone here in this land has everything invested in keeping their place. There's no other place to go. And if that means proving their worth, you'll see more enthusiasm for joining the existential fight from everyone except the coddled suburbanites. Most would welcome the opportunity to prove their worth and earn the respect they desperately desire. My grandfather fought to join the battle in 2ndWW and I expect it to be repeated.

And a lot of people rushed to join the armed forces after the attack
on 9/11/2001.

America in 2001 was a far different place than it is today.

I can feel civil war coming soon. Not even a Chinese attack would bring unity. It wouldn't. It would just be white males volunteering to fight while people of color sit around complaining about...everything.

I don't think the Chinese will tolerate any of this when they conquer America. Nah. Ain't gonna happen.

A race war in the United States could only happen AFTER a great world war weakens the country. While race relations are going downhill, the vast majority of minorities are actually patriotic, and will not abide China attacking the USA. Its the "I can talk bad about my family, but you sure as heck cannot" kind of thing.

A number of recent contentious posts have been moved from the Nuclear
War thread into the Religion and Vaccine Arguments thread:

If you're going to argue about vaccines, please don't do it in the
nuclear war thread. Thank you.

Anyone know the ramifications of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan? Will computer chips completely dry up leading to an inability to purchase new vehicles, computers, appliances?

Anyone have any last minute plans as soon as the Chinese attack on Taiwan begins?

Since my family lives there and I do not, my reaction will be shock and then waiting for my own death (as I live in Seoul). I can't imagine NK not taking advantage of that moment to attack SK.

Tough luck about you and your family, mate. I hope you all manage to escape somehow to somewhere.

I consider Taiwan invasion as the last chance to finish up any necessary preparations. If there's time in between that and SHTF then we're lucky. For those of us not quite ready, it's the sign we need to finish up ASAP. It's my plan and I hope not to see it happen anytime soon.
I suspect Taiwan invasion is more projection of strength and keeping a strong maritime border while continuing to build the Silk Road and Asian heartland corridor. Any thoughts?

What does this mean? Necessary preparations for what?
