Things are heating up in Taiwan

May as well create a similar thread for this topic.

Blinken believes China is speeding up plans for unification:

The US Secretary of State said China could employ 'forceful means' to achieve its objective.

With our stocks depleted by Ukraine the US may consider joint weapons production with Taiwan:

New US export rules limit chip sales to china:

U.S. aims to hobble China's chip industry with sweeping new export rules

The rules could force American and foreign companies that use U.S. technology to cut off support for some of China's leading factories and chip designers.

So we limit critical chip sales to China, which forces them to contemplate moving sooner rather than later. Our near term ability to supply Taiwan with weapons is limited, which also provides an incentive to act now. Will they do it?

We are going to run out of money, real real quick. I will be watching this thread close.

High levels of ignorance when it comes to Taiwan. Hell, not even sure who owns Taiwan.

 

[RooftopKorean]

Taiwan owns Taiwan, fuck China. We need to put a stop to them sooner than later.

Is it that easy though? I absolutely do not support China in anything they do. Just pointing out my own ignorance.

The ChiComs can take Taiwan anytime they want to.

The fUSA has stripped the national "weapons locker" nearly bare by sending billions of $$$ worth of complete weapons systems to Ukraine, and some of these weapons have been seen in the international "arms bazaar".

It's money laundering.

I've been following this on "Early Warning" from Forward Observer (well worth the $$$). The fUSA is making all kinds of statements and future plans to bolster the militaries of Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. But plans don't matter where the rubber meets the road, or when the ChiComs just punch us in the face, and double-dog-dare us to stop them from taking Taiwan.

And how, indeed, would we stop them, considering this would be largely a naval engagement? Especially, when the fUSN can't even steer a ship properly.

That plays into the purposeful draining of the SPR, which is at its lowest levels since about 1985 The US Is Depleting Its Strategic Petroleum Reserve Faster Than It Looks).

Yes, some ships are nuclear powered, aircraft carriers and subs for example, but those ships require a supporting "entourage" of vessels, most of which are still powered by oil.

It's the "perfect storm" and someone has been "seeding the clouds".

 

[Phazer]

At least we can rely on our strategic petroleum reserves if we need them. Ummm...wait.....

Taiwan has one of the worlds largest chip manufacturing plants in the world. If China takes it, they will control virtually all chip manufacturing on the planet. (they pretty much do anyway) the deep state has put us, and the planet at the brink of war, yesterday a russian Mig took a missile shot at a UK jet. He missed, but the message has been sent.

The last 12 years, the NObama's and the bidens have purposely depleted our military, and our economy. Our country is in very deep shit, but no one seems to be paying attention.

The midterms are going to be a joke. Dominion voting systems, I believe, has perfected their system so that democRATS will retain the house and pick up one or two seats in the Senate to maintain control, the "winners" will be by very close votes, like a couple thousand. It won't be like 2020 when biden surged ahead at 3am, with no accountability. This will be a subtle change to the count.

Things are going to get real sporty around here, real soon.

Oil? Nowadays? Pffft. We've got solar and wind. We can export those. Right?

It’s not that easy, but o agree with rooftop that we need to stop them someday sooner than later. We don’t need to do it with military might but we really just need to open our country up and bankrupt them. They are already on super shaky ground financially so let’s put the mail in the coffin on them.

There was a communist revolution in China shortly after WWII. It was fought between the nationalists under Chang Kai-Shek (who were our allies during WWII and were severely weakened following that war) and the communists led by Mao Zedong.

The communists managed to conquer the mainland, but were unable to take the island of Taiwain from the nationalists.

The US officially recognized Taiwain as "China" and the communists on the mainland as just a rebel faction up until the Nixon administration.

Both still claim to be the "real China" to this day.

Personally I agree with Xi about a "one china" policy. I just disagree with him about which group should be leading it.

There was no question about who was going to win WWII by the time the bombs were dropped.

Even a year before that.

The only question was how expensive it was going to be.

Thankfully Fat Man and Little Boy drastically reduced that cost (in men, if not dollars) for both the US *and* the Japanese.

Interesting. Xi's predecessor publicly shamed and forced to leave the Congress meeting live. No idea what it means but suggests some sort of political split that has to be addressed in a public way.

Love the forward observer channel.


Just in the past week or so, it's gone largely unreported but there has been a SIGNIFICANT escalation between the US and chicom. We are now in a defacto state of economic war. There is going to be a chip war/technology. We just pulled all our people out of Chinese companies to try and cause harm to them and to save any proprietary technology that was being used. China is pissed because it will have a negative impact on them. They're going to retaliate. This action may move up their timeline for a Taiwan invasion.

Seriously guys pay attention what's going on over there. It just got a lot more tense and no one realizes it.

New Title for Xi Stokes Concern of a Mao-Style Personality Cult

President Xi Jinping has accumulated so many titles he’s been called the Chairman of Everything. But one gaining traction among Communist Party elites is raising concerns of a Mao Zedong-style personality cult.

To me.... That gives him the clout to have the authority and support to order a tawian invasion. That will be his legacy.

He thinks he's the living embodiment of Mao...and he's acting like it.

If he is, our problems with China may be over soon.

Just need to keep them in line for another decade and they will decay back into the 3rd world shithole Mao made them.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but this sounds like .gov trying to direct attention away from the UFO/UAP phenomenon.

"Nothing to see here folks. Just advanced Chinese tech. Stole it from Apple is all."

Not to derail the thread but there are definitely some UAP/UFOs that are not of this world.

I tend to agree. It's much easier to explain it away as a Chinese threat, than to explain that it's extra terrestrial intelligence.
