I have thought for a long time that Taiwan should be fielding a large number of ballistic missiles. Their best hope is to damage as many of the red staging areas as possible.
Think about it: You want to assert yourself in your sphere of influence and the only possible obstacle is the weakest, most self-referential “leader” in 150 years.
Of COURSE China will assert itself!
There is nothing to lose!
If we had a real president, this would be a nuisance, at best. Can you see Red China threatening Presidents Reagan, Nixon or Eisenhower in any way, shape or form?
Another thing, demographics are not working for the ChiComs. Too many men and not enough women. What to do with those surpluses of males?
Thank you mr. clinton for contributing to their technology.
Now, we need some testicular fortitude.
Look for these near simultaneous events in the Spring:
1- A Chinese preemptive strike on US satellites
2- A Chinese premptive strike on US computer infrastructure
3- A Chinese preemptive EMP strike on Hawaii
4- A Chinese preemptive strike on US forces in Japan perhaps EMP perhaps physical
5- A crushing Chinese invasion of Taiwan
6- The North Korean invasion of the South
7- A Chinese tidal wave pouring over the North Korean border, rushing to the front lines, which by then will be south of Seoul and sweeping the South Korean forces into the East China Sea within 30-60 days of the begining of hostilities. The 28,000 Americans there will be dead.
8- Turkey leaving NATO, realigning with the rest of the muslim world and confiscating US nucular weapons there.
9- Not necessarily coordinated with China but seizing the opportunity, a combined 'muslim world' attack on Israel led by Turkey, which recently has been holding joint military exercizes with China.
10- A huge Al-Qaeda terrorist attack in the US. As big as 911.
11- A huge "Tet-like" offensive in both Afganistan and Iraq.
12- The President of the United States calling for United Nations condemnation and declaring the US can no longer be the policeman of the world and ordering home all remaining troops stationed abroad.
Quickly followed by recognition of the opportunity to totally restructure American society and then:
13- "Temporary" expansion of the Patriot Act giving the President dictatorial powers to "Protect the people from terrorism".
14- "Temporarily" setting aside the Constitution for the preservation of the nation.
15- Federalizing all law enforcement agencies and National Guard units to coordinate the fight against the terrorists.
16- Outlawing of opposition speech as aiding and abetting the terrorists.
17- Stationing of Federal troops inside the Supreme Court and the arrest and imprisonment of any terrorist sympathizers who speak against the administration.
18- Stationing of Federal troops inside the Senate and Congressional chambers and the arrest and imprisonment of any terrorist sympathizers who speak against the administration.
19- Stationing of Federal troops inside all media offices and the arrest and imprisonment of any terrorist sympathizers who speak against the administration. 20- Confiscation of the internet as a terrorist tool.
21- Confiscation of all privately held firearms.
22- Outlawing of the right of all assembly. (Political, religious)
23- Paycheck deductions no longer handled by employers but by government bureaucrats who take what the government wants and gives you the rest.
24- Federal anti-terrorism counselors stationed in every public school to gather information on terrorist sympathizing opponents.
25- Federal tracking of citizens through cell phone gps.
