I think Guam would be on China’s radar.

They'd better hurry before it tips over.

I lived there as a kid in the 60s, back when the US would have defended Taiwan. My Dad was there as a military advisor. I doubt we would defend Taiwan any time since Nixon went to China.

Under Joe? We wouldn’t even impose sanctions.

It’s OK. The State Department has an evacuation plan all ready to crank up for Americans in Taiwan. And the intel agencies have assured Biden that no collapse is imminent. Christmas at least.

“The U.S. had an Article 5 commitment to Taiwan from 1954 to 1979.

The '70s called, Joe. They said they have your brain.

Taiwan is toast.

I honestly wouldn’t look to the USA for help. The message is out. We are done as a superpower.

Gracefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan.

More like Korea. In 1950 the State Dept outlined areas of Asia and the Pacific that fell in America’s strategic interest. Omitted was Rep of Korea. Don’t doubt for a second that had it been included Stalin would have put the leash on Kim il Sung. Taiwan right now should be seeking a Hong Kong deal with the PRC. Armed resistance even by their capable military will only end one way and the CCP cares not how many people they lose.

China attacking Taiwan cannot do anything other than SINK the world markets, stock and trade. While lots of our phones & gadgets get built on the mainland, a big share of the high-tech comes from Taiwan. Xi attacking is like Hitler into Soviet Union, a tripwire with very serious and very murky repercussions from the entire world, not just the USofA!

Sadly, Joe’s idiocy with Afghanistan does increase this chance that Xi might “carpe diem”! Joe Chamberlin, a bad man in a bad place making very bad decisions!

When a State Department representative named April Glaspie said something like this to Saddam Hussein the media were all screaming that she gave him a “green light” to invade Kuwait.

I know, they wouldn’t get any credit for that.

Wait, Joe and a few others would grace them in.

Who is this person saying this, leading this? I demand to know now—it’s not Biden. I want to know who is running this country!

Biden said we would defend Taiwan if they were invaded.

The White House said that is not right.

End of story.

Should the Tribulation begin tomorrow, at sometime during the next seven years the kings of the east (China) will March across the Euphrates river. Those barriers will have fallen by then.

China has played the long game, and played it brilliantly.

The Mao years were all about China weaning themselves from all foreign influence. Yes, it cost millions of lives, but the mission was accomplished.

Once done, China could then open back up to the world, but this time, on their terms. And sure enough, Capitalists couldn’t resist the lure of cheap labor and cheap manufacturing costs, without worries about those pesky environmental regulations back home. Plus the lure of a market of a billion Chinese consumers.

The trap was set. Western countries leveraged their entire economies on China. And now the trap is getting ready to be slammed shut.

Pearl Harbor II was on November 3-4, 2020.

And act of war was committed by foreign powers and complicit traitors in the USA.

And nobody in the media will admit it happened.
