How can you run and hide when your orders were to not be there in the first place?

O’Biden is Bought.

We are not.

We probably can put enough pressure on Congress to prevent the ChiComs from taking Taiwan.

Taiwan and Israel are both irreversible commitments.

In the sixties, Red China issued a postage stamp with a map of the country with the caption (in Chinese, of course) "the whole country is Red!" Unfortunately, for the printer, it did not color Taiwan red (like the mainland was). The printer disappeared, and the stamp was discontinued and is a collectors item. One drop of red ink (lol)

Yes, its a big deal to them.

Yep, I’ve been thinking the same thing.

Who would even try to stop him? Pelozi? The GOP? Not likely.

Why would China want Taiwan?
Because their grandpas are still mad?
They’re also mad about the music being too loud.

When your neighbor plays loud music, that's the best excuse for going postal. Ran into that myself.

China probably wants Taiwan for the technology. Lots of tech R&D to steal, chip factories and secrets. Lots of money in infrastructure to steal. And to shut down the music.

We watch as America’s rage and fears are being stoked and exploited by the Islamic terrorists of the Taliban. They will taunt the US with video of thousands of American and Western nationals as hostages, and slaughter their Afghan enemies in the streets.

Suddenly, China will either completely intimidate and coerce the government of Taiwan into acquiescence, or will commit to an all out invasion. If the later, millions will die. And Biden will do nothing. Joe Biden has brought new meaning to the term “worst case scenario”.

I recall hearing something some months ago, that there are only two months in the year that the Taiwan Straight is calm enough to be easily crossed. I believe that there was a month in the Spring and October in the Fall.

The ChiComs want it before the PRC turns 100 and would also like in during the year of the CCP’s 100 anniversary. Couple that with XiJinBiden residing in the White Retirement House, and the chances are good that they could try it now.

Taiwan will be difficult to invade. It is VERY rocky and defensible, the military have over 2 million men in their system, with almost 400k standing and reserve, they have a strong AF and coastal navy. Almost 30 million people who DO NOT want to be part of communist China.

In addition, Japan, S. Korea and numerous Asian countries are on side with Taiwan. Japan has a ‘helicopter’ (wink, wink) carrier steaming nearby, the UK has HMS Queen Elizabeth nearby, and the USN has at least one carrier and one amphibious assault ship nearby.

Hopefully, the ChiComs realize that THEY will lose BIG TIME, if they try to invade. If they try to attack Japan also, Japan can have nukes VERY quickly.

We do live in interesting times.

I don’t think Taiwan was ever mentioned in the Q posts, nor was any invasion of any kind.
