They lost what two whole fleets to the Japanese a hundred years ago.
yeah that one makes me want to see a repeat. it was so perfect, the ideal intersection of hubris vs skill and hilarious ‘doubling down’ on failed adventurism.
just on that note, hey, China, the nine dash thing isn’t working. Instead of picking a fight with the entire south pacific, perhaps… take a cue from the Russo-Japanese war - look north man, there’s shittons of resources up there, and space… tons of space. Hell, get Yongmingcheng back and just… see where it goes.
THE REST OF THE WORLD WILL NOT COME TO RUSSIA’S AID. Give it a nibble, russia’s had ages to exploit these resources and barely sprinkled the lands with their people.
You could fight everyone in the south pacific over taiwan, or, you could fight the second best army in russia. So many benefits.

I’m sure they could come up with a bullshit map somewhere to justify it. Just send it Trump with a sharpie or something.
