You can say goodbye to your bases in the Philippines if the US were to declare in defeat over Taiwan. Nobody could trust the US.

Although I do believe that China is still going to keep applying pressure to Taiwan until Taiwan requests re-unification.

Think of china as our (Nixon's and Kissinger's) Frankenstein monster, with the neocon and plutocrat factions feeding it the corpses of American manufacturing every step of the way.

It's feeding time and the chicoms have worked up a HANgry appetite.

....Because we’ve promised to destroy the chip foundries on Taiwan, which we can do from afar. The foundries are the main (only?) reason for China to take over Taiwan at all.

They will be aided internally by the significant number of Taiwanese that WANT to reunify.

What nobody in media wants to talk about: how many Chinese students and H1Bs are really undercover Chinese military, ready to engage in sabotage and assassination upon being given the signal.

Factors concerning Chinese duration over the next 30 Years have to be taken into consideration.

They have an aging population.

Will African efforts suck the wind out of both their military and wealth?

How costly will Taiwan actually be?

Are they teetering towards a western economic model?

What is the viability and sustainability of BRICS and it’s expansion?

Population experts denote that the next 30 Years will be a period of expanded die off of global population because of age.

Is also interesting to note that China intends to take possession of the gates. They want to be the gatekeepers. Those Gates include the Panama Canal Zone, the South Africa expansion, the Argentinian and Patagonian expansion, the Suez Canal Zone, the Malacca straits... China Sea...does China have the wherewithal for a total commitment into all of these regions? Or will BRICS take care of the total commitment. It might, but what would be the duration of that total commitment?

Do we as a country want to get involved or are we being conditioned to withdraw with erroding infrastructure which is now lacking.

There’s very little mention in our mainstream media or from the government concerning Chinese global designs over the next 50 to 100 years. They cannot do it alone, how long will BRICS actually sustain cohesion? Russia is slowly collapsing a death by 1000 cuts, and is already reneging on weapon systems contracts they cannot meet.

US strategists tend to have a Chess player mindset, focusing on attacks.

Chinese tend to have a Go player mindset, focusing on capture of strategic assets.

China will render Taiwan a “dead stone” without war.

Hutchison Whampoa, a Chinese company, took over both entrances to the Panama Canal within a year of our handover. Gee, who coulda seen that coming? Just every American who served there in the 10 years before the Carter handover…

War with China- fear mongering, China will “ convince “ Taiwan reunification is best, ie….. naval blockade, sweet economic offers, etc….the US are the ones pushing for war, ie Biden’s Ukie war, refusal to negotiate, escalation, etc…

Prepare for the new Sheriffs, China/ Russia/ India / Brics , the US and collective West is getting weaker every day, and the whole world can see all the US wants is war, war, war….just one look at what we have for leadership - spells destruction….not to mention the just beginning western financial crisis, the dominoes are falling.

It is my understanding that China is already waging war with Taiwan, using its traditional methods of waging war. They are prepared to wait five hundred years.

The Chicoms won’t have to fire a shot. They already have their advanced column here and just waiting for their woke idiots to wear down our culture and resolve.

Not quite. Think of Taiwan as a big, unsinkable Aircraft Carrier permanently stationed in the Pacific.

Plus, lots of educated, industrious people who are Chinese. They built those foundries, so presumably they could be rebuilt.

And, lastly, the boost in China’s reputation as a world power.

All that being said, I doubt the US will be caught as flatfooted as the article suggests. It is also possible we may attack first if we think a Chinese invasion of Taiwan is imminent. Preparations for an operations that size is a hard thing to hide from Intel.

Darth Vader himself. Now I’m really concerned. For I see he is so frightened by a virus which had a 99.97% success rate of being combatted by the human immunity system our dear Lord blessed us with.
