The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) on Tuesday launched joint live-fire assault drills in multiple locations off the coast of Taiwan.

This is just what Jack Posobiec and The War Room said would happen next.

China is emboldened with US weakness in the region, the historic collapse of Afghanistan, and the frail puppet installed in Washington DC.

#BREAKING: #PLA Eastern Theater Command on Tue dispatched warships, ASW aircraft and fighter jets for joint live-fire assault drills in SW, SE areas off the island of Taiwan as response to recent moves by the US and Taiwan secessionists: spokesperson https://t.co/2lTfSmxxhW pic.twitter.com/dclmjwnlFM

On Monday Steve Bannon warned that the US economy will implode if Taiwan falls to the Communist Chinese. According to Bannon he entire American economy centers around the chips, and in particular, the advanced chips designed, made, and manufactured in Taiwan.

The Global Times reported:

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) on Tuesday launched joint live-fire assault drills in multiple locations near the island of Taiwan in response to recent collusion and provocations by the US and Taiwan secessionists.

The PLA Eastern Theater Command on Tuesday dispatched warships, anti-submarine warfare aircraft and fighter jets in surrounding maritime and aerial areas near the southwest and southeast of the island of Taiwan for military exercises including joint live-fire assaults, and also for testing the command troops’ integrated joint operation capabilities, Senior Colonel Shi Yi, spokesperson of the command, announced on the same day.

Recently, the US and Taiwan authorities have been frequently colluding and making provocations, sending wrong signals that severely violates China’s sovereignty and seriously damage peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits. They have become the biggest source of security risk in the region, Shi said.

The exercises are a necessary action taken based on the current security situation in the Taiwan Straits and the need to safeguard national sovereignty, and are a solemn response to the foreign interferences and the provocations by “Taiwan independence” forces, the spokesperson said.

Countries around the world are going to regret the day they insisted getting Trump out of office was a top priority.

We are no longer a serious country.

Other nations can clearly see this.

One of the largest chip makers in the world, by far, is located in Taiwan.

During the Trump years, they announced a 15 billion dollar plant will be built in Arizona.

Recently, it was announced they will be spending 25 billion dollars to build their plant.

They probably see the writing on the wall and don’t want to have all their eggs in the Taiwan basket.

And the dominos start to fall.
I suspect Taiwan is next to fall. If I live in a country that has any kind of treaty with the US vowing to protect it, I would be scared shitless. Taiwan, South Korea, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand and God only knows how many others. The Dems have at a minimum 4 years to accomplish the goal of destroying The Republic and the first step seems to be to make China the strongest nation on earth.

I increasingly think that the world will be re-made and that nuclear weapons will be involved.

Japan and Taiwan are at -10. They both have nukes and will use them against the Chinese.

Nuclear weapons are “bluff” weapons. There is no scenario where pulling the trigger first makes any sense. They are political tools only.
