If China invades Taiwan, one expert says it could be over in an hour

[RYAN ROBERTSON]

IF CHINA DECIDES TO LAUNCH A MILITARY CAMPAIGN TO TAKE TAIWAN–THE WHOLE THING COULD BE OVER IN LESS THAN AN HOUR….

THIS BOLD ASSESSMENT COMES FROM GEOPOLITICAL EXPERT DMITRI ALPEROVICH– [AL-PEAR-AH-VICH]. 

WHICH HE DELIVERED TO NBC NEWS AFTER DOZENS OF CHINESE WARSHIPS, PLANES AND JETS TOOK PART IN SOME MAY DRILLS …DRILLS DESIGNED AS PRACTICE FOR AN INVASION. 

[DMITRI ALPEROVICH]

“THEY’RE STILL GOING TO USE AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT SHIPS ACROSS THE STRAIGHT. EACH OF THEM CAN DELIVER ABOUT 800 TROOPS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY DOZENS OF TROOP TRANSPORT HELICOPTERS AS WELL AS GUNSHIPS TO DO AN AIRBORNE ASSAULT. THEY CAN REACH THE PORTS WITHIN 10 TO 15 MINUTES.”

[RYAN ROBERTSON]

ALPEROVICH [AL-PEAR-AH-VICH] HAS A DECENT TRACK RECORD OF PREDICTING RECENT MILITARY AGGRESSION–LIKE RUSSIA INVADING  UKRAINE.

IN HIS NEW BOOK, HE CLAIMS CHINA’S INVASION WOULD BE SO FAST THE U-S COULDN’T IMMEDIATELY RESPOND.

HE SAYS BEIJING WOULD LAUNCH QUICK STRIKES FROM THE AIR AND THE SEA.

[DMITRI ALPEROVICH]

“SO, A LOT OF PEOPLE ASSUME THAT THIS WOULD BE A NORMAL TYPE OF NORMANDY BEACH LANDING. THE REALITY IS THE TERRAIN DOES NOT ALLOW IT.”

[RYAN ROBERTSON]

IN THE WAKE OF THOSE MILITARY DRILLS BY CHINA AROUND TAIWAN– 

A U-S CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION MET WITH TAIWAN’S NEW PRESIDENT–

AND PROMISED MORE WEAPONS THAT TAIWAN ALREADY PURCHASED FROM  THE UNITED STATE WERE ON THEIR WAY TO THE ISLAND…I’VE REPORTED ON THIS PRETTY IN-DEPTH BEFORE–SO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT SOME OF OUR OTHER STORIES AT S-A-N DOT COM…

BUT BASICALLY, THE UNITED STATES IS HELPING TURN TAIWAN INTO ONE OF THE MOST WELL-DEFENDED PIECES OF LAND–ISLAND OR OTHERWISE–

ON THE PLANET–AND THOSE DEFENSES WILL ONLY IMPROVE IN THE FACE OF INCREASED CHINESE AGGRESSION

CHINA VIEWS TAIWAN AS ITS OWN SOVEREIGN TERRITORY– 

TAIWAN MAINTAINS ITS AN INDEPENDENT NATION–FREE FROM BEIJING.

MOST EXPERTS OUTSIDE OF THE REGION SEE A CHINESE INVASION LEADING TO WIDESPREAD ECONOMIC IMPACTS…ALSO, THE UNITED STATES IS OBLIGATED TO PROTECT TAIWAN IN THE EVENT OF A CHINESE INVASION…WHICH COULD LEAD TO DIRECT CONFLICT BETWEEN THE U-S AND CHINA. 

THIS IS WHY SO MUCH EFFORT AND EMPHASIS IS PUT ON DETERRING CHINA.
