Everyone should read the rest.

What you’re saying makes tons of sense.
The Chinese have been lying for so long about their capabilities that it’s not possible them to not believe themselves.
THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS.
It happened to the Russians on February 7, 2018, in Deir Ezzor Syria, when we inflicted 100 percent casualties on a 600-man Russian Mobile Detachment Combat Unit.
This is a combined-arms battalion based around three companies of motorized infantry.
Only two vehicles survived.

Nine out of 10 tanks and every artillery piece were destroyed.
The men who spoke to Moscow said that it was a trap.
The “Yankees” set them up.
“They sent their message,” a voice said bitterly.
After steamrolling several defenseless countries, Putin though he was invincible.
Trump showed him that Putin remains in power at Trump’s pleasure.
I sense a similar lesson in China’s future.
But we’re going to have lots of Pacific countries pitching in, as well as NATO.

They all want to be part of teaching China a lesson so that China stops messing with them.
People don’t know this, but we have the same special relationship with Singapore that we do with the UK and Australia.
We’ve also helped the Taiwanese build up their forces so that they can punch FAR above their weight class.
And Taiwan has a special military relationship with Japan.
The Japanese have some of the most advanced armed forces in the world.

So does South Korea.
We have a clandestine relationship with Vietnam that allows us to base whomever and whatever we want there.
My guess is that like Russia, the Chinese will be allowed to save face, but they’ll take a military pasting they’ll never forget.
The Russian survivors of Deir Ezzor said that an entire infantry company of 120 men “died instantly.”
How is that possible?
I couldn’t tell you.
New weapons.

The Chinese will attempt an uprising in Taiwan, followed by an invasion.
There’s no way maritime or aerial transports can get into Taiwan.
They’ll be destroyed.
Same goes for bombers and ballistic missiles.
Whatever happens, the hardest hits will happen secretly.
Just like in Deir Ezzor.
I’m not worried in the slightest.
Nobody deserves defeat more than the CCP.

China FIRST MOVE. Biden was tested (Alaska) and found wanting. Japan needs to not be napping; China fears Japan and with cause.
South China Sea, etc.
Thanks, greeneyes. We were just talking about this at dinner. I told him I had heard either here, GAB or somewhere that Japan had said they would defend Taiwan.
But I feel we are sitting ducks with Xiden in office.
