Seems as if an upcoming war with China is a given these days. Whats your opinion? When does it start? Whats the outcome?

Ah yes, like that famous war between the US and the Soviet Union.Seems as if an upcoming war with China is a given these days. Whats your opinion? When does it start? Whats the outcome?
What does that mean? That war between major powers is a thing of the past, or that we were just lucky (and lucky we were) during the Cold War?Ah yes, like that famous war between the US and the Soviet Union.
It means that physical war is not inevitable, contrary to the OPs assertion.What does that mean? That war between major powers is a thing of the past, or that we were just lucky (and lucky we were) during the Cold War?
fu** that sh*t, libs and national voters can fight and die first, their kids can fight and die first, their donors can fight and die first.
Well I think that might be due to change.The term "GI" was never intended to include them.
Fair enough, but I'm not sure that the OP actually made that assertion, I mean they did put the 'seems as if' qualifier in there. And to me it certainly does seem as if war is inevitable with China, and that doesn't mean I'm saying that it will definitely be theirfault either.It means that physical war is not inevitable, contrary to the OPs assertion.

OK, that's your opinion. Many thought that a direct war between the US and USSR was inevitable too.And to me it certainly does seem as if war is inevitable with China, and that doesn't mean I'm saying that it will definitely be theirfault either.
Came ridiculously close a couple of timesWhat's the title of this thread?

MAD saved us then, but will it save us again considering the extra pressures from climate change? Not often a new great power on the world stage arises without a conflict ensuing. Not sure if that's ever happened tbh.What's the title of this thread?

No war is inevitable.
But a lot of it depends upon China. As long as they don't attack Taiwan, or try to assert physical control over the West Philippines Sea by controlling/restricting international shipping within their nine-turds line. Also, that they do not attack India.
If war breaks out everybody loses. Chinese energy supplies will be embargoed/blockaded and they will soon feel the economic pinch. The parties on the counter-China side have the ability to close off all their other trade. For us it will mean a big loss of iron ore and coal and agricultural exports. In Taiwan thousands will die. Eventually China will have to sue for peace and full independence for Taiwan will be the price.
Why the hell would China attack India?
Ask them. I can't understand it either, but there have been clashes in the last year where soldiers on both sides died.
It seems China is at fault by slowly and persistently encroaching on neutral territory there.
Border skirmishes are hardly a precursor to invasion.
Yes I know.But the provocation might lead to foreseen consequences.
The other thing they need to stop doing is airspace incursions over their near neighbours. It only takes for one plane to be shot down for a crisis to emerge. They have been doing it on the daily for the last year or so.
China are not going to war with anyone.
They have India to the west and they don’t like each other. They have Russia to the north. They have Japan and Korea to the east and they hate each other. And most of South East Asia to the south also hates them.
They have issues in Hong Kong. They cannot resolve Taiwan. Their own economy has massive challenges. They have spot fires everywhere due to ethnic diversity within China. They have an ageing population. And they are completely reliant on the rest of the world for food, energy and resources.
But apparently despite all this they are going to storm the beaches of Australia.
It is crazy talk.

Well if it happens its going to be the last one
