France > UK > Italy > Spain > Greece maybe.
The first 4 are the only countries with some power projection, Italy and Spain just follow France usually
.
>Has a bigger and larger capacity transport aircraft >Has 13 resupply ships to Frances 3 >Has more VLS than France Germany and Italy combined >2 carriers to 1 >Has a small naval base in Singapore
France doesn't come close to the UKs power projection in Asia anon, not trying to shit on France btw.
>2 carriers to 1
UK only effectively has 1 carrier currently for 2 reasons. PoW is down for extended repairs and there isn't even enough F-35s for QE as is (at like 2/3 standard cap and less than 1/2 of surge). Meanwhile CdG is full-up and can launch AWACS which is gonna be of prime importance in SCS/ECS engagements. Plus, if you are gonna steam all the way over there then surely you acknowledge the advantge of it being nuclear powered? >Has a small naval base in Singapore
And France has one in New Caledonia >Has 13 resupply ships to Frances 3
I only know of 7 but still yeah, I didn't even intend to dispute this one (though its not AL lopsided as it first seems due to the nuclear vs oil issue above) >Has a bigger and larger capacity transport aircraft
Yup
Now, what does France have? >Triomphant a bit better than Vanguard >More and better LHDs/LPDs/LSDs/Amphibs/whatever you want to call them >More destroyers with more varied mission capabilities >Monge
>anon, not trying to shit on France btw.
And I'm not trying to shit on the UK. They had great shit and you didn't even list all the advantages they have. I was just pointing out that in some ways the French have greater capabilities.
What metrics? There are none that I can even imagine that give France a credible ability to project power at all, let alone greater than the UK.
We're talking about a country that could not independently deploy and sustain a small, light motorised force conducting an extremely low intensity police action in Mali. I cannot imagine what measure of force projection makes them look good.
You can read above but I'm picking up serious vibes that you already have your heart set and just want to instigate a fight. If so, know that I have zero interest.

>carriers
No matter what way you try spin it 2 is better than 1. It's down for a new propellor the one built in France broke, the same happened to the CdGs prop. >Nuke powered being a pro for France
No, it's slow as fuck and has to resupply food and stores anyway France has a tiny replenishment fleet so it being nuclear holds no pros here. The UK carriers can go for longer due to having more replenishment ships, 13 to 3. Nuclear carriers are great for powers with large support fleets like the US, relatively small Navies? Not so much. >New Caledonia
Bro, are you trolling? New Caledonia is 4 fucking thousand miles away from the South China Sea. The French Naval base in Reunion is about the same distance.
Singapore is literally right there next to the South China Sea. >Nuclear vs Oil
It's not just oil, sailors need to drink/eat ships need stores it's not all about fuel. >Triomphant better than Vangaurd
I doubt it and its pointless to argue somthing that is likely top secret >More LPDs etc
True >More destroyers
Again the UK has and does carry more missiles than the French German and Italian fleets combined.

The RN has 2 smaller carriers, but in reality 1 is likely to be in port/refitting whilst the other is at sea. France has 1 very large carrier, but also maintains 3 amphibious assault ships (Mistral) to the UKs 1 (of 2 Albions, 1 is in unmanned reserve). The RN and MN are both blue-water, but both have budgetary constraints, and are equipped for slightly different roles.

You seem to default to very black and white thinking when my entire point was indicating there was a gray area. Please try to understand.
>No matter what way you try spin it 2 is better than 1
You're absolutely right. I'm just pointing out that AT THE MOMENT they both have 1. The lack of planes for QE is a big deal; recall that those are supposed to be shared with the RAF and even taking them all still leaves the ship underequipped. >No, it's slow as fuck and has to resupply food and stores anyway...
You're right, it has to resupply food/etc. But not having to worry about fuel especially while halfway around the world and under combat conditions is a big deal, even just from an availability to respond prespective. As for slow: Yes it is a bit slowER but not by that much, you're splitting hairs. >New Caledonia is 4 fucking thousand miles away
Its also that far from ECS, a distance well within the range of its ships. Embarking from Singapore and avoiding the SCS the RN would go a similiar distance. Its basically trading easier access to the SCS for more susceptible to missile strikes from China. >it's not all about fuel.
Correct, but it is a factor. I was merely pointing that out. >I doubt it and its pointless to argue somthing that is likely top secret
Not all the differences are top secret or unavailable to OSINT. I'd like to hear your doubts. >more VLS
I could contend that reducing naval strength down to VLS cells is idiotic but instead I'll just again indicate that this is not about who is best. For example, France's destroyers are better equipped to combat submarine threats.
>Monge >carrier AWACS >More LPDs etc

In reality it would be more like

Also Germany is a sleeping powerhouse when it comes to ground forces and logistics. It contributed the 3rd largest contingent of troops to afghanistan after the US and the UK and it had a total of 150k afghanistan vets. It has also demonstrated that it can forward deploy small contingents overseas on its own when it did so against daesh.

Burgers will be alone in this. Europoors have their hands full with the ukraine shenanigans (thanks to usa) so they'll just let yankies have their Vietnam 2.0.
Which European nations would actually be militarily useful in a war over Taiwan?
OP you need to understand that if china wants to take Taiwan, it will, and there's literally nothing anyone can do about it. Taiwan literally cannot defend itself
I don’t give a shit about Hong Kong and Taiwan. They’re indefensible. I don’t want a repeat of Christmas 1941, and Hong Kongers are ungrateful pricks who bit the hand that fed and sheltered them. Fuck em. They wanted reunification and the CCP? They got exactly what they wanted.
The only overseas territories I would to like to see reclaimed are Malaysia, and Borneo. These I would want just to secure safe passage and communications for Australia and New Zealand, who actually are family.
>They wanted reunification and the CCP? They got exactly what they wanted.
Did they? I thought the reason Britain gave back HK is because China was getting more powerful and Britain couldn't be fucked to have an argument over it, so they just handed it back to China. I thought many HKers liked being British.
Nah, the reason Britain gave Hong Kong back was that the British government's lease on the island ran out. The Bongs didn't conquer or take Hong Kong from Imperial China, they bought it. When the lease ran out (after 100 years, as is typical) they had to give it back.

Practical reason was Thatcher asked the military if they would be able to defend HK from chang chimp out like Falklands. They deemed it impossible as they projected what they would do if they were changs. So the motion was put forward to start slowly giving in to the mainland crazies.
Look friend, I'm sure in the fantasy US that exists in your head democracy and diversity are strengths, but out here in the real world the US has just blown up a pipeline and tanked the European economy in order to make theirs look less shit rather than stop printing money out of nowhere.
If you can deploy any mildly useful naval forces into the pacific, you're useful, simple as. France or Britain could send a carrier group, the rest could send a few single ships at most, not very useful.
They got a carrier, they got boomers, they go amphibious assault ships they got Excocet and nothing, nothing in the world can quite rub it in with that arrogant habitus like a full blood Frenchy, which comes in handy in case you win.
Yeah, but they're Navy isn't bad. Its not as good as the English but they still have a carrier destroyers frigates a handful of supply ships nuclear subs, if you paired them with the Royal Navy it would be a lethal force.

This may come as a surprise to some but Germanish speaking Norse men settled literally everywhere in Europe during the migration period and the Viking age. The Norsemen settled the coast along France and Belgium and were given lordship over the locals and then assimilated their language after 200 years. The Franks originally did not speak French as its spoken today. And the Burgundians came from Bornholm in Scandinavia and conquered the local folks and were given lordship over them and slowly switched their tongues over time in the same way. Some Norse was still spoken among some Normans during the 1066 invasion even though it was not spoken as often. Germanish folks invaded and settled as far as the Americas and Africa and Russia during the migration period and the Viking age.

>Bitter
Historically slaughtering each other for literally millennia tends to do that, but it's mostly historical banter. It's like Texas hating California, but still being in the same nation.
The bongs have a ton of anti frog culture embedded in their nation, but they're still out allies that have been aligned with us for decades at this point, most of the anti french hate is insincere and it's mostly a joke really.
If I couldn't call the French cheese eating surrender monkeys or baguette eaters, and they couldn't call us uncivilised or whatever froggies do in their country, it wouldn't be the same.
They sure as shit have more modern experience than you Nigel, since WW2 the bongs have achieved exactly 1 single naval operation, then immediately after proceeded to mothball their fleet into irrelevance. France unironically could sink the entire British "fleet" in a week and still have shit left over to fight the chinks with, those tea drinking, yellow teethed, pub going, soccer playing, muslim loving, wrong side of the road driving fuck heads across the pond couldn't even leave port without risk of sinking.
Bongs still routinely sail around the world and patrol the mideast oil and shipping lanes. They absolutely have more experience at this and logistic ability to support this than the frogs.
They occasionally sail around the UK and maybe through the Mediterranean and that's is, even the damn Italian navy does more than them with all like 3 of the boats they have, France actively works with the US military and needs boats because unlike the UK they still have overseas colonies around the world.
Korean War, Falklands, Gulf War I, Sierra Leone, Gulf War II, and Libya were all successful Royal Navy operations. >nooo you didn't 1 v 1 them it doesn't count.
Yeah, like France and it's successful record of 1v1 naval warfare in the modern era?
The way I read this is they only did shit during the Falklands and every single other one was a US operation that the british showed up to so they could seem important, good for them.

The numbers don't correlate to what you're claiming.
Because the numbers don't show the absolute joke that is the British Navy, they "have" more boats in the same way Russia "has" more tanks than any other army in the world. Once you actually see the fleet you see how atrocious they actually are.

>Poland
This wiill be a naval/air only fight from the european side/ If when we roll up the invasion has already made massive landings and overun the island we aren't going to be doing our own amphib landings. So, unless there is something I am unaware of in regards to the Polish Navy I think you lads are sitting this one out.
Of course our navy is virtually non-existent, but it's a fucking retarded take that you can go to war with fucking China and dismiss qualified military personnel willing to help if they don't come with their own aircraft carrier.

That's why I said perhaps. They don't really have much of an airwing, but at least they have a carrier to bring the planes out on. So they qualify more than any other European country that I have not mentioned.

Something tells me that if only american bases only get struck, especially if it's just okinawa, it's far more likely that there will be a greater push to get US bases out of Japan than not. Japanese don't give a shit if foreigners get killed

Japan is a vasal state of the US by treaty. Meaning it has to have US bases and missile defense by treaty obligation. Btw there are US bases literally all over Japan not just okinawa. Lose the treaty and the norks might just chimp and nuke tokyo.

Japs will die. You think those bases are in the middle of nowhere with no Japanese staff?
And there's no chance only Okinawa gets hit. Hitting Okinawa and leaving Yokosuka would be retarded. Now look at Yokosuka on the map and tell me how you'd bomb it without killing thousands of Japanese civilians.

If you can read a map, you can also see that Japan is geographically within range of almost all classes of chinese missiles that will knock out their ports and the japanese people suffering mass starvation and blackouts in result. Due to the islands being completely energy insecure and half-food insecure.
Now you tell me if potentially millions of japanese casualties and the complete destruction of their economy, demographics, etc. against the strongest military power in the region (who they cannot meaningfully strike back toward its mainland) would be preferable if you were japanese yourself.
The answer is a resounding no. The polls show that 89% oppose direct military action against China over Taiwan. If their government forces the population to anyway, or if USA forces them, that's a recipe for rock-bottom morale or revolution. Neither of which will be effective at all against China. It will be mass suffering for nothing.
Or they could simply stay out and continue reaping economic benefits.

Yes, yes, China very strong. China smash Japan. When Japan hit by strong China missile thousands die in Yokohoma weak cuck Japan will cry and lay there.
Thought terminating cliches, like "muh missiles."
Watch and see. If China takes Taiwan by force, Japan WILL get struck, and they WILL strike back as part of a united force. I'm just sad I won't be able to see the look on your little yellow face when it happens.
>If you can read a map, you can also see that Japan is geographically within range of almost all classes of chinese missiles that will knock out their ports and the japanese people suffering mass starvation and blackouts in result.

Is this supposed to be a reason NOT to fight the Chinese? If you have an island nation utterly dependant on global sea trade, and a neighbour threatens to start sinking civilian shipping, that's an existential threat. You HAVE to find some way to respond to it, even if it means that millions will die, because your survival as an independent nation hinges on those boats.
If China ever stops posturing and starts knocking down nearby islands with military force, the absolute last thing Japan wants is having to face it without the US as an ally.

And if they renege their treaty we could do the same or worse to them. And do you think the nips would be okay with being under the chinese thumb? Lol come on man
In the Chinese mind, they believe that yes, Japan should not fight because they would be much happier as a Chinese tributary state like in the old days when they had to cough up treasure and slaves to stay safe every few decades as China sends their envoys. They really think that America is currently subjecting Japan to something far worse than that.

Taiwan is Chinese. What happens to it has nothing to do with anyone else.
That’s like saying that if the US puts DeSantis in prison for insurrection and puts a proper Democrat government in place in Florida, that Cuba has to get involved and invade the US in the name of the Republican Party.
The US putting down his insurrection doesn’t mean we care about Cuba. It’s an internal matter, just as Taiwan is internal to China.

For South Korea, they literally don't care as long as their land isn't being annexed. What's so different to them about another, different superpower ruling over them, anyway? You really think just switching USA for China means that much to them?
What matters to them the most is not openly warring with their much larger next door neighbor and as a result having their entire country completely glassed by every single missile in the PLA's inventory
same way everybody in euro ignored ukraine because if you dont poke the mighty bear you will never be attacked? If you dont stop chinks dead in their tracks they will escalate their arrogance and turn this into another world war. This time centered around the pacific
BTFO them hard like ziggers in Ukraine and they will think twice about attacking Korea or Nipps or really anybody else around them. Both important western friendly nations with remarkable economic potential.
the UK and france have their own carrier task groups
Italy and Spain have decent navies but would need a lot of logistic support
but even some smaller nice navies could be useful belgium and the dutch come to mind with their new generation of minesweepers.
the rest would be logistic support, small specialist teams and perhaps a few f-35 and other specialized aircraft
Why were russians so obsessed with boris johnson in their propaganda anyway?

Boris Johnson is the Ghost of Kiev, he will pay for launching shadow storm into puppy farm. Follow incel slava for up to date info western media is trying to bury.
They participate in RIMPAC pretty often (last year in fact). If they have the political will you can expect them to send a shiip or two as part of a coalition force; they aren't going to be launching independent actions.
They have a lot of specialised shit which a lot of other countries don't have when it comes to the navy. They get called up to fix weird jobs all the times.

>What interests do we even have in Taiwan
If a corporation in your country relies on semiconductors, chances are that it buys from Taiwan. Taiwan manufactures about 50% of the world' semiconductor supply and sells to clients in the US, UK, and EU.
That's an odd opinion to have, since the Chinese are enemies of Europe. They support the invasion by asiatics of a European nation (which is threatening to invade yet more European nations, albeit impotently at this point). They also declared several European countries, among them EU members, to have no legal basis for existing.
As for who owns those semiconductor producers...well, it's going to be Taiwan or no one at all, because they'll be destroyed should Taiwan be invaded. Then you'll have to either produce your own (lol), buy outdated Chinese ones, or pay a big coward's premium to buy American as their onshore facilities get spun up.
Those troops are there at their request, retard. All it would take for the US to leave is asking. China is a threat to everyone as it fucks with international fishing and trade, and THANKFULLY the US and its allies are there to keep China penned up on its own shores like a good little yellow cuck.
they have already said that they wont help with taiwan or even help with economically isolating china.
the US foreign policy establishmnet thought that by helping euope with ukraine, they would get quid pro quo with taiwan.

France > UK > Italy > Spain > Greece maybe.
The first 4 are the only countries with some power projection, Italy and Spain just follow France usually
.
>France infront of UK for power projection
disingenuous or retarded
NTA
By some (this is an incredibly operative word, please read the sentence multiple times if needed) metrics its true.
>Has a bigger and larger capacity transport aircraft
>Has 13 resupply ships to Frances 3
>Has more VLS than France Germany and Italy combined
>2 carriers to 1
>Has a small naval base in Singapore
France doesn't come close to the UKs power projection in Asia anon, not trying to shit on France btw.
>2 carriers to 1
UK only effectively has 1 carrier currently for 2 reasons. PoW is down for extended repairs and there isn't even enough F-35s for QE as is (at like 2/3 standard cap and less than 1/2 of surge). Meanwhile CdG is full-up and can launch AWACS which is gonna be of prime importance in SCS/ECS engagements. Plus, if you are gonna steam all the way over there then surely you acknowledge the advantge of it being nuclear powered?
>Has a small naval base in Singapore
And France has one in New Caledonia
>Has 13 resupply ships to Frances 3
I only know of 7 but still yeah, I didn't even intend to dispute this one (though its not AL lopsided as it first seems due to the nuclear vs oil issue above)
>Has a bigger and larger capacity transport aircraft
Yup
Now, what does France have?
>Triomphant a bit better than Vanguard
>More and better LHDs/LPDs/LSDs/Amphibs/whatever you want to call them
>More destroyers with more varied mission capabilities
>Monge
>anon, not trying to shit on France btw.
And I'm not trying to shit on the UK. They had great shit and you didn't even list all the advantages they have. I was just pointing out that in some ways the French have greater capabilities.
You can read above but I'm picking up serious vibes that you already have your heart set and just want to instigate a fight. If so, know that I have zero interest.
>carriers
No matter what way you try spin it 2 is better than 1. It's down for a new propellor the one built in France broke, the same happened to the CdGs prop.
>Nuke powered being a pro for France
No, it's slow as fuck and has to resupply food and stores anyway France has a tiny replenishment fleet so it being nuclear holds no pros here. The UK carriers can go for longer due to having more replenishment ships, 13 to 3. Nuclear carriers are great for powers with large support fleets like the US, relatively small Navies? Not so much.
>New Caledonia
Bro, are you trolling? New Caledonia is 4 fucking thousand miles away from the South China Sea. The French Naval base in Reunion is about the same distance.
Singapore is literally right there next to the South China Sea.
>Nuclear vs Oil
It's not just oil, sailors need to drink/eat ships need stores it's not all about fuel.
>Triomphant better than Vangaurd
I doubt it and its pointless to argue somthing that is likely top secret
>More LPDs etc
True
>More destroyers
Again the UK has and does carry more missiles than the French German and Italian fleets combined.
608 vs 672 VLS lethality is very much on the side of the RN.
>Monge
True the English don't have equivilant of this ship I didn't even know it existed.
>sailors need to drink/eat
Is food really that big a deal? I would have expected the fuel on an oil-fueled ship to easily weigh an order of magnitude more than the food stores.
>No matter what way you try spin it 2 is better than 1
The RN has 2 smaller carriers, but in reality 1 is likely to be in port/refitting whilst the other is at sea. France has 1 very large carrier, but also maintains 3 amphibious assault ships (Mistral) to the UKs 1 (of 2 Albions, 1 is in unmanned reserve). The RN and MN are both blue-water, but both have budgetary constraints, and are equipped for slightly different roles.
Smaller carriers? QE class are larger than the CDG and actually embark 5th gen aircraft…
The Clemenceau class and Charles de Gaulle were larger but fewer that the Invincible class and the new French carrier will be larger but fewer than the QE class.
Ok so you are referring to a class of ship that’s still only on paper and past UK capabilities.. that doesn’t make much sense imo. What stealth capabilities will the aircraft on the next French carrier possess once it’s finally built?
What doesn't make sense, French carriers tend to be larger than British ones, but there are fewer of them, seems pretty simple.
The UK's two carriers are larger than CDG. The UK has 5 amphibious assault vessels, 2 Albion class and 3 Bay class.
You seem to default to very black and white thinking when my entire point was indicating there was a gray area. Please try to understand.
>No matter what way you try spin it 2 is better than 1
You're absolutely right. I'm just pointing out that AT THE MOMENT they both have 1. The lack of planes for QE is a big deal; recall that those are supposed to be shared with the RAF and even taking them all still leaves the ship underequipped.
>No, it's slow as fuck and has to resupply food and stores anyway...
You're right, it has to resupply food/etc. But not having to worry about fuel especially while halfway around the world and under combat conditions is a big deal, even just from an availability to respond prespective. As for slow: Yes it is a bit slowER but not by that much, you're splitting hairs.
>New Caledonia is 4 fucking thousand miles away
Its also that far from ECS, a distance well within the range of its ships. Embarking from Singapore and avoiding the SCS the RN would go a similiar distance. Its basically trading easier access to the SCS for more susceptible to missile strikes from China.
>it's not all about fuel.
Correct, but it is a factor. I was merely pointing that out.
>I doubt it and its pointless to argue somthing that is likely top secret
Not all the differences are top secret or unavailable to OSINT. I'd like to hear your doubts.
>more VLS
I could contend that reducing naval strength down to VLS cells is idiotic but instead I'll just again indicate that this is not about who is best. For example, France's destroyers are better equipped to combat submarine threats.
>Monge
>carrier AWACS
>More LPDs etc
It seems you are granting that FRance has these. So while we may disagree on the number it seems you do now agree that France has some greater capabilities to project power than the British...yes?
>608 vs 672 VLS
How do you get that number? The French fleet alone has 384 VLS with 5x16(+16) underway
> there isn't even enough F-35s for QE as is (at like 2/3 standard cap and less than 1/2 of surge)
You're saying Italy has a more capable carrier airwing? Lmao
No, Italy has even less. Where did you get that from? No one was even talking about Italy.
What metrics? There are none that I can even imagine that give France a credible ability to project power at all, let alone greater than the UK.
We're talking about a country that could not independently deploy and sustain a small, light motorised force conducting an extremely low intensity police action in Mali. I cannot imagine what measure of force projection makes them look good.
In reality it would be more like
UK > France (only if they unfucked their attitude) > Germany (only if they unfucked their attitude) > Italy (only if they unfucked their attitude) > Spain (only if they unfucked their attitude)
Also Germany is a sleeping powerhouse when it comes to ground forces and logistics. It contributed the 3rd largest contingent of troops to afghanistan after the US and the UK and it had a total of 150k afghanistan vets. It has also demonstrated that it can forward deploy small contingents overseas on its own when it did so against daesh.
>daesh
It was literally called operation counter daesh, yes. And it was mostly logistics orientated.
logistics certainly, but bundes rank-and-file infantry are notoriously useless and fat, even within their own country

I don’t give a shit about Hong Kong and Taiwan. They’re indefensible. I don’t want a repeat of Christmas 1941, and Hong Kongers are ungrateful pricks who bit the hand that fed and sheltered them. Fuck em. They wanted reunification and the CCP? They got exactly what they wanted.
The only overseas territories I would to like to see reclaimed are Malaysia, and Borneo. These I would want just to secure safe passage and communications for Australia and New Zealand, who actually are family.
Never again.
>They wanted reunification and the CCP? They got exactly what they wanted.
Did they? I thought the reason Britain gave back HK is because China was getting more powerful and Britain couldn't be fucked to have an argument over it, so they just handed it back to China. I thought many HKers liked being British.
Nah, the reason Britain gave Hong Kong back was that the British government's lease on the island ran out. The Bongs didn't conquer or take Hong Kong from Imperial China, they bought it. When the lease ran out (after 100 years, as is typical) they had to give it back.
>British government's lease on the island ran out
the island wasnt leased
they owned it
the land surround the islands was leased
Practical reason was Thatcher asked the military if they would be able to defend HK from chang chimp out like Falklands. They deemed it impossible as they projected what they would do if they were changs. So the motion was put forward to start slowly giving in to the mainland crazies.
Don't be stupid, that's not how the US operates. "Friends" get fucked harder than enemies.

This may come as a surprise to some but Germanish speaking Norse men settled literally everywhere in Europe during the migration period and the Viking age. The Norsemen settled the coast along France and Belgium and were given lordship over the locals and then assimilated their language after 200 years. The Franks originally did not speak French as its spoken today. And the Burgundians came from Bornholm in Scandinavia and conquered the local folks and were given lordship over them and slowly switched their tongues over time in the same way. Some Norse was still spoken among some Normans during the 1066 invasion even though it was not spoken as often. Germanish folks invaded and settled as far as the Americas and Africa and Russia during the migration period and the Viking age.
Also I forgot to mention that the English army that fought the Normans in 1066 had just marched hundreds of miles from battling the Norse in northern England. Since the Norse had also invaded there for the last 200 years as well.
There's a way to go about it that isn't so spite filled. I mean, by all accounts the Americans and British get along just fine when they have every reason to hate the fuck out of each other.
>I mean, by all accounts the Americans and British get along just fine when they have every reason to hate the fuck out of each other.

No, the picture I'm looking for is a drawing, with the U.S on the right, backed with blue, facing a shorter female USSR with Soviet gear on, backed with red. Both are facing each other in front of a global map with their allies colored in their respective colors.
Nor that Rocky is bad, but it is not what I was looking for, nor does it capture the sheer energy.
>Bitter
Historically slaughtering each other for literally millennia tends to do that, but it's mostly historical banter. It's like Texas hating California, but still being in the same nation.
The bongs have a ton of anti frog culture embedded in their nation, but they're still out allies that have been aligned with us for decades at this point, most of the anti french hate is insincere and it's mostly a joke really.
If I couldn't call the French cheese eating surrender monkeys or baguette eaters, and they couldn't call us uncivilised or whatever froggies do in their country, it wouldn't be the same.
They sure as shit have more modern experience than you Nigel, since WW2 the bongs have achieved exactly 1 single naval operation, then immediately after proceeded to mothball their fleet into irrelevance. France unironically could sink the entire British "fleet" in a week and still have shit left over to fight the chinks with, those tea drinking, yellow teethed, pub going, soccer playing, muslim loving, wrong side of the road driving fuck heads across the pond couldn't even leave port without risk of sinking.
Bongs still routinely sail around the world and patrol the mideast oil and shipping lanes. They absolutely have more experience at this and logistic ability to support this than the frogs.
They occasionally sail around the UK and maybe through the Mediterranean and that's is, even the damn Italian navy does more than them with all like 3 of the boats they have, France actively works with the US military and needs boats because unlike the UK they still have overseas colonies around the world.
The way I read this is they only did shit during the Falklands and every single other one was a US operation that the british showed up to so they could seem important, good for them.

France after WW2 is the most powerful military in the entirety of Europe, you say no one speaks French but you seem to forget that's because of America not the US
Because the numbers don't show the absolute joke that is the British Navy, they "have" more boats in the same way Russia "has" more tanks than any other army in the world. Once you actually see the fleet you see how atrocious they actually are.
>a US operation that the british showed up to so they could seem important
Ah yes, the famously American Sierra Leone intervention.

Lmao, this gay is acting like France doesn't have twice the Muslims the UK has.
>hey occasionally sail around the UK and maybe through the Mediterranean and that's is
No lol. They still routinely sail the Pacific and Indian oceans as well. It's not to say that France isn't good either, objectively both are. However the UK has historically been the better force projecting power and was the world superpower preceding the US, and it still maintains a closer relationship with the sole world super power (the US) right now more so than France has. Giving it a lot more operations experience than France in the last 60 or so years.

You mean the anglo land that's got 999999x more resources than all of Europe combined? The land our brothers and sisters live on that's conveniently positioned at every corner of the globe?
That land? You mean all that land?
All 6.7 billion acres ? Combined making it the largest country and empire on the planet?
That's land?
>6.7 billion acres
If we are going off the most generous amounts the bongs control 1.7 billion acres of land.
Sorry but you guys are not the giga superpower you used to be the sun does indeed set on the british empire.
Wraaang
The king of the anglosphere empire owns 6.7 billion acres of land right now
The armies of Australia, new Zealand Canada and Britain swear allegiance to the king not the government
Making the land protected and controlled by the king
So it's his land
The sun can't set unless all of those countries become republics which is unlikely so as usual the English speaking world is still on top and ESLs have to cope
That "allegiance" is paper thin, Canada, NZ and Oz all would turn their back on the UK if they ever went to war like they have done multiple times since 50's. The control the King has over any of those nations is about as much as the President has over my backyard which is to say if he came by and asked me to do something I would probably do it but not because I have just because I respect him enough to do it.
I could just say no and he could do jack and shit about it because his position only exists for ceremonial purposes at this point.
>if the Presidebt came by and asked me to do something I would probably do it but not because I have just because I respect him enough to do it.
You respect the president?

>I could just say no and he could do jack and shit about it because his position only exists for ceremonial purposes at this point.
I feel the same way, but that's mostly because I already served for 11 years (medical discharge), and any participation from me at this point would be entirely optional.
Offer me some food, clean water, and decent clothes, and I might change my mind, though. Depends on how bad things are, though.

What blood? Bongs are European rape babies who got raped by krauts, nords, meds, frogs and now muslims. All your "brothers" are busy sucking chinese and indian cock. For a nation that is so massive you sure don't seem to realize the US is bigger than a few border states and the heartland is still white and will stay that way until we are all dead.
Who the fuck is a mutt to call anyone a rape baby? Britain is whiter than America and will be long after we are both dead. As for your white heartland you must be talking about fucking Idaho or somewhere because i've seen a lot of your country and in every major city i've been white people are a nervous minority.

Slavs will be deployed to fight the Chinese as they are naturally immune to zerg tactics after years fighting Russians
Bro, you fought and trained with Russians for most of the cold war. You were the zergs for Soviet leadership
Of course our navy is virtually non-existent, but it's a fucking retarded take that you can go to war with fucking China and dismiss qualified military personnel willing to help if they don't come with their own aircraft carrier.

UK and France.
Funnily enough, we have an amphibious SF unit in Poland called "FORMOZA" ("Formosa" is the old name for Taiwan in case you didn't know).
I have no idea if there was some aspirational motivation behind the naming decision (as in "Look America, you can take us wherever you need") or it was the only sensible acronym they could come up with, but it would be a shame for them to sit out the fight for Taiwan when they're named after it.
>UK, France, Italy, perhaps Spain
If you can't get at least a carrier group out, what's the point?
>Spain
Not a chance in hell. They have only like a dozen harriers in the entire air arm of their navy.
That's why I said perhaps. They don't really have much of an airwing, but at least they have a carrier to bring the planes out on. So they qualify more than any other European country that I have not mentioned.
And I'm taking your perhaps and downranking it to not a chance in hell. An empty carrier is just a supply hog.

Some Kanak sentries spotted the approaching assault team who had moved further north than they should have and opened fire, wounding a Commando Hubert operator. Another operator shot and killed the sentry that had fired. Another assault force member was killed as he crossed the open ground in front of the cave. The Commando Hubert team then cleared the area in front of the machine gun position with flamethrowers.
Anyone - ANYONE - who claims that either the British or French wouldn't be able to contribute is just trying to stir drama; zero exceptions
Why would any European nation fight for Republic of China? Only USA, Japan and South Korea will defend them.
To be honest, why would any country intervene? Out of those you mentioned:
> Japan
Nope, they said they wouldn't intervene a couple days ago
> South Korea
Would they risk a Korean War II?
> USA
Honestly I'm not sure they aren't bluffing. They gain all of the advantages and none of the consequences by doing so.

>Eighty percent of voters said they are worried that Japan would be caught up in the armed conflict if the United States and China clashed over Taiwan, according to an Asahi Shimbun survey
>Seventy percent selected “deepening the relationship with China,” far more than the 26 percent who chose “strengthening defense capabilities.”
>"People in general do not want war and I would say that most people in Okinawa are opposed to the Japanese military getting involved in any conflict over Taiwan," said Shinako Oyakawa, who is involved in local politics in Japan's most southerly prefecture.
That's what civilians said. Not the government.
It literally doesn't matter what civvies say now, if this war happens, Japan will get hit by missile strikes. Period. There are American bases.
Then watch it change to 90% in favor of the war.
It's like suggesting that US polls from 1940 decided what happened in WW2.
>civvies
cringe
>Then watch it change to 90% in favor of the war.
Something tells me that if only american bases only get struck, especially if it's just okinawa, it's far more likely that there will be a greater push to get US bases out of Japan than not. Japanese don't give a shit if foreigners get killed
>Japanese don't give a shit if foreigners get killed
Especially if said foreigners are trying to get THEM killed by dragging them in a war where they have everything to lose, as indicated by the polls
Japan is a vasal state of the US by treaty. Meaning it has to have US bases and missile defense by treaty obligation. Btw there are US bases literally all over Japan not just okinawa. Lose the treaty and the norks might just chimp and nuke tokyo.
>Japanese don't give a shit if foreigners get killed
Japs will die. You think those bases are in the middle of nowhere with no Japanese staff?
And there's no chance only Okinawa gets hit. Hitting Okinawa and leaving Yokosuka would be retarded. Now look at Yokosuka on the map and tell me how you'd bomb it without killing thousands of Japanese civilians.
If you can read a map, you can also see that Japan is geographically within range of almost all classes of chinese missiles that will knock out their ports and the japanese people suffering mass starvation and blackouts in result. Due to the islands being completely energy insecure and half-food insecure.
Now you tell me if potentially millions of japanese casualties and the complete destruction of their economy, demographics, etc. against the strongest military power in the region (who they cannot meaningfully strike back toward its mainland) would be preferable if you were japanese yourself.
The answer is a resounding no. The polls show that 89% oppose direct military action against China over Taiwan. If their government forces the population to anyway, or if USA forces them, that's a recipe for rock-bottom morale or revolution. Neither of which will be effective at all against China. It will be mass suffering for nothing.
Or they could simply stay out and continue reaping economic benefits.
>If you can read a map, you can also see that Ukraine is geographically within range of almost all classes of Russian missiles that will knock out their ports and supply lines
>Now you tell me if potentially millions of Ukrainian casualties and the complete destruction of their economy, demographics, etc. against the strongest military power in the region (who they cannot meaningfully strike back toward its mainland) would be preferable if you were Ukrainian yourself.
You thinking that Russia = China and Ukraine = Taiwan only shows how dull your thinking is. Utterly incapable of thinking outside of thought-terminating cliches like an NPC
Oh boy! More chingchong infographics, aren't we so lucky.
come on he stitched together 2 different infographics now that's i m p r e s s i v e
Yes, yes, China very strong. China smash Japan. When Japan hit by strong China missile thousands die in Yokohoma weak cuck Japan will cry and lay there.
Thought terminating cliches, like "muh missiles."
Watch and see. If China takes Taiwan by force, Japan WILL get struck, and they WILL strike back as part of a united force. I'm just sad I won't be able to see the look on your little yellow face when it happens.

>If you can read a map, you can also see that Japan is geographically within range of almost all classes of chinese missiles that will knock out their ports and the japanese people suffering mass starvation and blackouts in result. Due to the islands being completely energy insecure and half-food insecure.
Is this supposed to be a reason NOT to fight the Chinese? If you have an island nation utterly dependant on global sea trade, and a neighbour threatens to start sinking civilian shipping, that's an existential threat. You HAVE to find some way to respond to it, even if it means that millions will die, because your survival as an independent nation hinges on those boats.
If China ever stops posturing and starts knocking down nearby islands with military force, the absolute last thing Japan wants is having to face it without the US as an ally.
In the Chinese mind, they believe that yes, Japan should not fight because they would be much happier as a Chinese tributary state like in the old days when they had to cough up treasure and slaves to stay safe every few decades as China sends their envoys. They really think that America is currently subjecting Japan to something far worse than that.
BIG COCK CHINA TINY COCK ISLAM
GET IN CONCENTRATION CAMP
Taiwan is Chinese. What happens to it has nothing to do with anyone else.
That’s like saying that if the US puts DeSantis in prison for insurrection and puts a proper Democrat government in place in Florida, that Cuba has to get involved and invade the US in the name of the Republican Party.
The US putting down his insurrection doesn’t mean we care about Cuba. It’s an internal matter, just as Taiwan is internal to China.
Treaty of San Francisco says otherwiise, get bent.
>Taiwan is Chinese.
proofs?
Taiwan never has and never will be Chinese it was rightful Japanese territory from the start, once the sun rises again chinese bugmen and gay westoids will know true power as the Japanese warrior spirit purges all communism and gayry from this world.
And if they renege their treaty we could do the same or worse to them. And do you think the nips would be okay with being under the chinese thumb? Lol come on man
Yeah man, Japan doubled it’s defense budget for no reason at all.
>Would they risk a Korean War II?
They'd be in it.
>USA
Our people are jingoistic and our state knows when the challenge comes you have to take it head on. I tend to think the auxiliary Asians aren't looking forward to Chinese dominance and they'll have to join in.
They'd be in it if they participated. If they didn't, no Korean War II.
>I tend to think the auxiliary Asians aren't looking forward to Chinese dominance
For South Korea, they literally don't care as long as their land isn't being annexed. What's so different to them about another, different superpower ruling over them, anyway? You really think just switching USA for China means that much to them?
What matters to them the most is not openly warring with their much larger next door neighbor and as a result having their entire country completely glassed by every single missile in the PLA's inventory
no chance in hell any country in asia would lift a finger. I highly doubt the US would even intervene.
Japan either helps or gets 2 more nukes. What a bunch of limpdicks. We shouldve let the russians take their gay island and nuked everything in 46
Do you just not pay attention to any of the papers coming out of the UK or France about thier goals/planning or are you just intentionally being dumb?
same way everybody in euro ignored ukraine because if you dont poke the mighty bear you will never be attacked? If you dont stop chinks dead in their tracks they will escalate their arrogance and turn this into another world war. This time centered around the pacific
BTFO them hard like ziggers in Ukraine and they will think twice about attacking Korea or Nipps or really anybody else around them. Both important western friendly nations with remarkable economic potential.
the UK and france have their own carrier task groups
Italy and Spain have decent navies but would need a lot of logistic support
but even some smaller nice navies could be useful belgium and the dutch come to mind with their new generation of minesweepers.
the rest would be logistic support, small specialist teams and perhaps a few f-35 and other specialized aircraft
I'm big on Poland, love Poland
Why were russians so obsessed with boris johnson in their propaganda anyway?
To the point they had the fat mumbler sex-addict leading special forces raids personally?
Probably because he's a big fat slob that made England look like a clown show. Despite that he seemed pretty good. Also Russia apparently has a hate boner for England that I can't explain.
Boris Johnson is the Ghost of Kiev, he will pay for launching shadow storm into puppy farm. Follow incel slava for up to date info western media is trying to bury.
He was really the most notable supporter of Ukraine from the day one while EU was still stroking it's cock wondering what to do.
Probably either UK or France with the Dutch as support
Isn't the Dutch Navy tiny these days? I don't think they can support global scale operations anymore.
They participate in RIMPAC pretty often (last year in fact). If they have the political will you can expect them to send a shiip or two as part of a coalition force; they aren't going to be launching independent actions.
They have a lot of specialised shit which a lot of other countries don't have when it comes to the navy. They get called up to fix weird jobs all the times.

Isn't it only the UK and France that have the ability to project force that far?
I consider France should have joined Team China after Australia broke that submarines contract. Now THAT would make an interesting Pacific scenario.

>What interests do we even have in Taiwan
If a corporation in your country relies on semiconductors, chances are that it buys from Taiwan. Taiwan manufactures about 50% of the world' semiconductor supply and sells to clients in the US, UK, and EU.
doesnt matter who owns it for europe though, we aren't enemies of china
That's an odd opinion to have, since the Chinese are enemies of Europe. They support the invasion by asiatics of a European nation (which is threatening to invade yet more European nations, albeit impotently at this point). They also declared several European countries, among them EU members, to have no legal basis for existing.
As for who owns those semiconductor producers...well, it's going to be Taiwan or no one at all, because they'll be destroyed should Taiwan be invaded. Then you'll have to either produce your own (lol), buy outdated Chinese ones, or pay a big coward's premium to buy American as their onshore facilities get spun up.
american cope, china is too far away to be any threat to europe, unlike america that has troops in europe and spreads toxic culture to its 'allies'
Those troops are there at their request, retard. All it would take for the US to leave is asking. China is a threat to everyone as it fucks with international fishing and trade, and THANKFULLY the US and its allies are there to keep China penned up on its own shores like a good little yellow cuck.
>t. chingchong
they have already said that they wont help with taiwan or even help with economically isolating china.
the US foreign policy establishmnet thought that by helping euope with ukraine, they would get quid pro quo with taiwan.
they were wrong.
hilariously wrong.
so put another notch under the consecutive failure column for US liberal hegemony foreign policy.
at this point, they have produced nothing but miserable failure for so long that it has to be intentional.

All the China stronk posters were Russia stronk posters two years ago. They’ll deny it because it’s humiliating to be so wrong but we know it’s true.
>Thread topic
All of Europe will be useful in crushing China economically. China won’t be able to trade with Europe because the Europeans don’t want to turn their back on a democratic nation and China will be under blockade anyway.
The UK/France both have territorial claims in the pacific so they’re the most useful. I expect Poland will want to send a small expeditionary fighting force but will need help getting there.
>Whose fighting Chyna
Anglosphere (we numba one!), Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Others who may join France, Philippines, Poland, India.
China will be fighting all alone, under a blockade and getting its ports bombed continuously.
