***The fighting is done with media, State Department, CIA, NSA, NGO’s, military assistance and foreign aid (strings attached), big tech, business deals (also strings attached).
—The conventional destructive war: The objective is the physical possession of terrain or destruction of an enemy unit (terrain or enemy orientation).
—The modern intel war: The objective is the possession of the political parties and key leaders, control over the media, channels of communications and bureaucracy.
Ask yourself this, what are the odds that Mr. Z in Ukraine is really just our puppet, given that we know that we were flat out picking who rose to power in that country? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoW75J5bnnE (literally choosing who rises to power). What does this tell you? 6 hours he gets a top national level prosecutor fired, and he brags about it: https://oversight.house.gov/timeline/ukraine-11/biden-firing-ukraine-prosecutor-clip/
By 2014 we had control over Ukraine. Think about this for a second, our big tech (linked to Intel) were 100% behind Mr. Z and it's well documented that they helped him win. Social media and Google played a critical role in the 2019 Ukrainian elections. Several of our NGO’s were backing him, and our NGO’s are not really non-government. His money came from a Ukrainian oligarch with ties to the US and US IC. Now consider this, Mr. Z is a young, completely politically inexperienced, not independently wealthy, a Jew in a nation with antisemitic undertones, and wins the elections. Do you think someone like that might be easy to control?
Ukraine is a perfect example where we did to Russia (2014 and Maiden was when we took over - literally overthrew the government we didn't like) what PRC is doing to us in Taiwan today: https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-credible-evidence-that-Ukraines-2014-revolution-was-due-to-a-CIA-coup/answer/Kylee-Smith-83 (this Aussie freelance journalist spells out how we did this)
If we wait to long, Taiwan will slip away.
We do not want a conventional war, not even proxy as in the Ukraine. The PRC is far more militarily and economically powerful.
But we can fight an intel war and at a minimum drag things out in a worst case scenario or even flip it to our favor in a best case.
I think so, generally.
I like ideas.
I think that the goal has to be ending Chicom rule in China. That is the cause of the problem.
But CCP keep a tight lid on information there via old fashioned ways and technototalitarian ways.
Everyone there has phones and is on the firewall Ed Chicom network.
How to bypass that.
