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.”

I tend to agree with you.
However arguably, the US government has shown it is willing to enable a quasi international/foreign, non-zoonotic virus, or fear of a virus, to kill many thousands of Americans, (one way or another), to justify a very real coip’d etat, fraudulently placing totalitarian power over the entire US.
Anyone who would dismember an unborn baby, sell it’s body parts for profit, and seek to pervert, exploit, and sexually abuse all children they didn’t abort, must be viewed as capable of any mass casualty or democidal activity.
They can and will kill en-mass, to achieve total power and subjugation of society.

I don't need to read this to know that Bubba sided with the free traitors on our side, but how does that excuse us?
The Admin Smithian Zealot Free Trade Nazi’s don’t care if China rules the world one day. As long as the middlemen make money....
What’s sad is that so many “patriots” on our side were actually defending this, including Rush.
Biden says our transvestites have it all under control.
Rush was terminally ill and still putting up “obscene commercial” time outs which in an hour of his show there were maybe 30 minutes of content. Maybe.. You’d think he would have lot to say in that last year of his life and forget those $$$$ for a minute. You can see what Rush’s true nature was.

Have to agree.
Willful ignorance, power hungry arrogance and narcissism, and seditious behavior have long been at pandemic levels, but there are no real excuses for our country.
Timing may be a question, but no individual or nation will get away with mocking God either.
