Japanese official warns US of potential surprise attack on Hawaii — from Russia and China

Russia and China are coordinating military exercises to threaten not only Taiwan but also Hawaii, according to a senior Japanese defense official who warned the United States to beware of a Pearl Harbor-style surprise attack.

“We have to show the deterrence towards China, and not just China but also the Russians, because, as I told you, that they are doing their exercises together,” Japanese deputy Yasuhide Nakayama told the Hudson Institute this week.

Taiwan’s vulnerability to an invasion from mainland China has become a preoccupation of Indo-Pacific strategists in recent months, as Chinese Communist forces escalate their military drills around the island. Nakayama, who was unusually frank about the need for democratic nations to ensure Taiwan’s survival, implied that Russia and China are working as allies preparing for a major conflict.

“I think the Taiwanese are really concerned,” he said. “And also, they’re focusing on the two big countries collaborating and [presenting] a lot of threat towards Taiwan."

US AND JAPAN WARN CHINA NOT TO ATTACK TAIWAN

Chinese Communist officials regard Taiwan as a renegade province, one that they have claimed since coming to power in 1949 but never governed. Most countries recognize the regime in Beijing as the official Chinese government and do not have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, although the U.S. has maintained a friendly relationship and provided weaponry to help Taiwanese authorities deter an invasion from the mainland.

“We have to protect Taiwan as a democratic country,” Nakayama said before suggesting that world leaders may have erred during the Cold War by seeming to concede that Taiwan would eventually be reunited with mainland China. “Was it right? ... I don’t know.”

This is the most idiotic thing ive ever heard. Russia wont invade Ukraine but will attack Hawaii? China wont invade Taiwan but will attack Hawaii?? What would possibly be in it for them? Apparently the Biden Administration cant find enough White Supremacists to be the boogeyman.

>>>>Can we just give them Hawaii and call it good?<<<<

Bingo!Hawaii is a pretty place but I’m not planning on visiting anytime soon, besides that would make the Senate a 50-48 Republician majority.

"He didn’t corrupt them instantly upon enterring office."

No, that process started 12 years ago. and has accelerated over time. Just look at the Pentaon and the Jont Chiefs and their efforts to purge the military of actual patriots, in favor of those needing genetial reassignment surgery. Remeber the old saying; the fish rots from the head. Just as with the DOJ and FBI, corruption at the top seeps down and infects the entire organization.

The military has the nuclear football and holds China at bay. Biden is the last to know and then Psaki et. al. act like he meant to undertake this or that action. We live in mighty strange times.

This looked like an interesting thread title to check out, and as usual, started looking at the thread's meat, ignoring for the moment who wrote them. Then I saw the reply in #2, and said to self "hey, that's something...", and then looked at the author.

Thanks for posting, and you of course are right on in reply #2.

Just so long as no one lets on that Portland or San Francisco would really be a better target for them.

"Do you really think they are afraid of Biden and his tranny military?"

No, but our response to a surprise attack on American soil would not be up to "Biden and his tranny military" - I believe there to be a cadre of rational Americans high up in the military.

For the same reason we don't sweat instability in Islamic Pakistan - they aren't in control of their nukes (rational people are).

Russia and China are already beating America with the aid of Joe Biden.

Our stupid free trade deals that sent our wealth and technology to China are what aided them in beating us. Biden is the result, not the cause.

This was our fault.
