“2) Their army is as much as 200 Million strong, which was the size predicted in Revelation in the Bible, called “The Kings of the East.” They can afford casualties in the range of 10 million, which is 5 times bigger than our army ever was. China has some unfinished business with Vietnam, having fought to a standoff in 1979. They might do a run through Vietnam first so that their troups are more battle-hardened and arrogant, knowing that the US didn’t exactly win there. The added bonus is they get one of the largest warm water ports in the world.”
Would the Lao government aid them in that endeavor? You seem very knowledgeable about Eastern military strategy. Might China go further than Vietnam?
Might China go further than Vietnam?
***Eventually, yes. But they’re astute observers of history. They saw how Hitler invaded Poland and rapidly invaded other countries, causing an uproar. They want the free lunch that comes with invading Viet Nam (we’ll never go back there to defend them), then picking fights with neighbors as they see fit.
The thing that sticks in the chinese craw is Taiwan. And they know they could invade Taiwan & get away with it, so there’s nothing really stopping them. I mean, do we want to send our boys to die by the hundreds of thousands to defend an island nation that has never declared independence? I doubt it, not after how we betrayed Viet Nam.
