I haven't seen anyone discuss this. But it kind of scares the fuck of out me. Now wld make a lot of sense as the moment for China to seize Taiwan and liquidate its government. The Pentagon is turmoil, unfocused and likely demoralized. Not saying they're not paying attn. But in relative terms ...

Trump would dig into a fresh jar of paste, rename Arkansas, and seize control of Major League Baseball.
It would make the 48-hour memory-holing of Reagan's 240 dead Marines look like sustained coverage by comparison.
The island is too close to mainland China.
donald is fine dividing up the world
No anglo barbarity
And will be cooperative with the sane world.
China will be the good cop for as long as USA is rogue.
a) China will "re-confirm" him as leader in 2027. He may not want to take any dramatic actions before then.
b) He ordered the PLA to be "ready" to invade Taiwan by 2027.
Nobdoy did much about Crimea.
I don't see them starting a conflict unless they're sure we're done handing them opportunities to take our goodwill and make it theirs.
Why focus on Taiwan when we just gave them Africa?

Put differently, it takes discipline not to panic and pull out the big guns.
I think China used Taiwan like Dems & GOP used abortion: as a bargaining chip.
Trump may have removed the only thing that kept Taiwan out of Chinese hands: stability
They could also seize Skum's Gigafactory Shanghai.
Cautious fellow, Xi. Many would have done both by now. He can't let exports to US collapse.
China has engaged in regular naval exercises VERY near Taiwan of late.
A blitzkrieg invasion would not surprise me in the least. And what better time than now?
Why should they?
It won’t necessarily happen this year, but it will in the next four.

They aren't trumpeting a partnership with Ukraine but its happening.
Same with Ukraine.
My theory is that Ukraine has nukes and quietly let Putin know.
Goodbye

China hasn't invaded anyone for 80 years, though. Whereas the US.....
But, if they did want to do it, yeah, in the next year or so would be the time.

My hubs is on Social Security (which prob won’t exist in 3-4 months)

As a woman, there’s a VG chance I’ll be disenfranchised soon & a matter of time bf I can’t have a checking acct or own property
And Krasnov won’t do shit about it. I don’t even blame Krasnov anymore. His gang of misfits can stop this at anytime.
