UK to permanently deploy two warships in Asia Pacific

This strikes me as sort of a big deal, it being a permanent deployment and all. That's quite a commitment. And yet it's a story that doesn't seem to be getting much attention.

Interesting. Hopefully it's a sign they're thinking how to thwart an invasion. If China gets into Taiwan it will be hard to get them out without a bloodbath.

Does have that clock-ticking feel to it as well.

You wonder how long you'd have to react if China made a move.

From China's point of view they'd nearly have to take out any aircraft carriers in the area first to increase the chance of a successful invasion - as well as hit bases in Japan.

Anyway, sounds for sure Japan is locked in. Got your bomb-shelter built yet?

I'm assuming the main invasion of Taiwan would come straight across the strait onto the west coast?
