Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Depends on what the nature of the conflict is.

In the event that Taipei declares independence and the US comes to its aid, I can't see them outmatching the PLA in conventional kinetic warfare. The US could use nukes, but this would invoke a nuclear retaliation from the PRC - less about the US wins and more about everyone loses.

As another commenter has stated, all three countries that you have listed would successfully fend off an American invasion if they fought in their home field.
