Yeah usually there’s great reasons for a war :)
Thew world is a powder keg and only those hiding from the virus can’t see that.
I’m hoping for a skirmish at sea where they get crushed, deny it and realize how inferior their military is.
But between this virus and the blame rightly going to them but them giving it back and the collapse of oil and economies...that’s almost the textbook definition of why wars start most of the time.
And if the Chinese people get ugly no better way to distract them than a shiny new war.
We threatened to send Hirarry and Joe Biden over there.
Why?? Really?? For the unprovoked biological warfare attack on the rest of the planet. Because they knew November 19th. They killed their own people to keep it quiet. They kept the airlines going from there to NYC and LA. THEN they advised the world on it in early January. They need nuke’n yesterday.
There are 4 wars: Narrative, cyber, economic and kinetic. We are currently engaged in three of them. If you don’t think they are planning on the 4th, then you don’t understand the CCP. Their nationalistic grievence rhetoric DWARFS that of the Third Reich. In fact, it is boarders on cultural dogma. To them, they owe the west one hell of a debt.
If this guy is right, you won't have to ask that question much longer. They will do something, overtly aggressive... like, occupy Taiwan. And then, dare us to do something about it.
They can harm us... significantly. Maybe, they've already started.
The article was 100% correct is saying: We have GIVEN THEM the means to destroy us, willingly... We might well be able to blow them out of the water, literally.. on the military front. But, we've handed them the knives that can KILL our economic engine, without firing a shot.
China has a one child policy. Most families want a male child so they abort a large portion of the females. They have been doing this for years. So now what they have is, a bunch of males that can’t find females as mates. They are pissed, frustrated, and mad at the world. Their army is almost twice the size of ours.
Let that sink in.
I did not look at the video but I have stated elsewhere on FR, that a war could start, out of all of this. Certainly NOT the US starting a war against China instead, a war started by China.
China IS a totalitarian regime. The people ARE prisoners in a gilded cage. The bargain is, and has been for many years, ‘Give the CCP power and we will provide a better, and better standard of living.’ The ChiCom economy is already hurting badly because PDJT is forcing them to ‘play by the rules’ of their treaties or face tariffs. Now, as the world realizes that the CCP caused the CCP-Coronavirus and this world wide recession (and probable depression), many countries are looking to ‘bring the jobs home’. This will further squash the ChiCom economy. So much for their bargain with the Chinese people!
Already, there is anger and plenty of distrust within China about the actions of the CCP. If their economy crashes, the CCP is potentially doomed. How does a totalitarian regime remain in power and garner support from its people? START A WAR! People draw together to support their leader when a war (or crisis) breaks out.
Are the ChiComs stupid enough to launch a ‘shooting war’ against a military as strong as the US? Absolutely not! However, a war to recapture Free China, aka Taiwan, and to control the S. China Sea? THAT would solidify their shaky control over the populace of China. ‘Rally ‘round the flag’, and such.
Under the terms of the Taiwan Relations Act. “...the United States will make available to Taiwan such defense articles and defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense capabilities”. The nature and quantity of such defence services is determined by the President and Congress.
Would the ChiComs attempt to launch such an invasion just to remain in power, knowing that they might be risking WW3? Who knows? Desperate people do desperate things!
