A natural outgrowth from some of the discussions here. This thread isn't so much for the discussing of real world politics in regards to current affairs like the Wuflu or trade policy or whatever, but the nerdiest outgrowth of such things, which is hypothetical near future war scenarios and how they'd shape up and turn out. For the moment let's assume all of these scenarios don't involve the use of nuclear weapons since a discussion like that would be rapidly redundant.
There are several main *flashpoints* when it comes to hypothetical wars with China
1. China vs. Taiwan in order to make its own China policy a literal reality
2. South China Sea/Spratley Island Confrontation
3. Widening North Korea/South Korea Conflict
4. China Attempting to Seize the Ryuku Islands from Japan
5. India-China Border Disputes or a Widening War Between India and Pakistan
As well as lesser conflicts such as those pertaining to the Paracel Islands, some sort of Russian-Japanese territorial dispute over the Kurils/Sakhalin, a Chinese-American Trade War going HOT, the activation of the Five Powers DefenCe Agreement, some sort of war sparked by instability in Myanmar etc.
Who wants to nerd out to comment on any of these potential scenarios specifically or in general?
