"The launch came the same day the U.S. Navy sailed two aircraft carriers and two amphibious assault ships alongside allies in the Philippine Sea

China launched 39 aircraft, mostly fighter jets, near Taiwan Sunday — the largest show of force in months.

The launch came the same day the U.S. Navy sailed two aircraft carriers along with a pair of amphibious assault ships alongside allies in the Philippine Sea.

It's not clear what might have prompted the escalation, but China did something similar in early October during similar U.S. Navy operations. ..."

Joe Biden was prepaid by Xi via Hunter for the damage he does now, including gifting Taiwan to communist China.

The mission on the Commie Gomers’ flight plan was titled “Let’s Go Brandon!”

You mean kinda like a pre-paid WalMart gift card?
Wouldn’t doubt it in the least.
Selling out our allies for cash? Sounds like a crime syndicate of the likes of Hitlery. /s

So what are the odds that Taiwan and the Ukraine are attacked simultaneously? That’s what I would do. Will it impact the 38% who still approve of Brandon?

Has Gen Milley and his Pentagram sent them their List
of our Weaknesses and Sites-’Please Not to Bomb’,
as they gave the Russians and the Taliban, and
probably other Enemies Foreign??

I have a thought. In WWII they’d put up barrage balloons. These were balloons which were tethered by a steel cable. If a plane hit the cable it was curtains for the plane. The idea of the balloons was area denial. A modern equivalent might be small drones that occupy the space and fly random patterns for however long their fuel allows, then they’d return for refueling. Simply put out a warning, like is required for mines. “This area contains flight hazards that could cause loss of life.”

If there’s a legality issue, then have a bunch of recalcitrant kids do it. (Oops, sorry. We have no control over them.) China plays similar games. Pick a game they play and play it back at them with all the same excuses.

In war, legalisms are...fluid.

Give me a 30 foot boat an a batch of stingers. Should be plenty sold on the secondhand market in Ukrainian flea market. No cheap North Korean crap but a few might be useful. I will have some fun. Duck hunting has been poor this year.

If Ukraine and Taiwan are simultaneously attacked the US will immediately declare war on Russia to be followed in a few days by a sternly worded letter addressed to Xi.

China has big economic problems, tens of millions of people are in large scale lockdowns and only Chinese will be in the stands at the Olympics. Word will get out that life sucks and Xi is trying to distract the peasants so they won’t hear the truth!
