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.”

~~~~~~~~~~~
The own part of the government. They don’t own key elements of the Military or else Joe Biden’s invitation for 350,000 Chinese troops to secure the Capital in January would have been accepted. Vaccine mandates would be in place. Complete lockdown would be happening.

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.

Russia and China are already beating America with the aid of Joe Biden. Who needs a shootin’ war when Dementia Joe is giving all the advantages to our enemies?

A surprise attack on American soil?

They're crazy but not stupid - this would engender a nuclear response whether Biden wants to or not.

Hawaii is still in partial covid lockdown restrictions and any foreigners planning on invading need to have covid testing completed prior to.

You think, if anyone knows about surprise attacks on Hawaii, it would be Japan....

The last time an Asian Country launched a surprise attack on Hawaii, it drew the USA into a world war, let’s hope this time history does not repeat itself.

Chinese strategists officially decided long ago that taking Taiwan would be very difficult, *unless* the US was distracted with an unconventional disaster of some kind.

They initially considered a covert biological attack, but then decided that it was necessary to disrupt the ports of Bremerton, WA and San Diego, to cripple the Pacific fleet.

This would put them on a strict timetable to capture Taiwan before the Atlantic fleet could arrive. Any Pacific warships at sea would need to be damaged if possible, especially the submarines.

The alternative to this would be to thoroughly pulverize Taiwan with rockets and missiles.

All kinds of holes in these scenarios.

Our military doesn’t deserve that insult. He didn’t corrupt them instantly upon enterring office.

Those in the mil who cheered President Trump and stand ready to protect America are still there. They are being attacked by wokism - but don’t count them out.

If they launch an invasion on Taiwan a disabling attack on HI AK AUs and CA and an east coast EMP would be pearl harbor times a thousand. 911 showed we are most vulnerable to simultaneous attacks. It would not surprise me considering our current leadership and world opinion of that and the divisions in the the US at this time. Other major Hotspot light at the same time.

Wow, this thread will be a great read to our enemies.

A house divided cannot stand and the Chinese will be very excited to hear there are Americans that feel as folk in this thread do.
