I hope I'm not misreading your comment but it sounds a little to casual, no? An invasion by sea would probably be a lot more brutal than what's happening in the Ukraine, with a lot more civilian and military casualties, and of course a much bigger impact on the world economy. And of course, countries succeeding with territorial expansions would set a really bad precedent for the 21st century. We should hope to sit out difficult geopolitical situations as long as possible. The world will probably be a lot different in 20 and 50 years. In Germany we had 40 years of separation and cold war and then suddenly - happy reunification!

No modern military would do a ww2 style beach landing. It's why we retired battleships. You send in naval air forces to obliterate defenses on shore then send in marines. This is probably why China is deeply invested in long range fighters (their modern fighter has significantly more range than US ones). And aircraft carriers as of late. That and enough surface warships to defend said carriers.

They should just surrender. They don't have a chance it would be a suicidal defense.
