“Nice dam you have there, Xi.....it’d be a shame if something happened to it.”
Same here
Cutting ALL Chinese products off would hurt, but we have the resources to rebuild our Mfg base...but methinks the Oligarchs would not allow that.
Of coarse they would build things here if there was no trade or really high import tariffs. They would HAVE too. You can't give these globalist swine any wiggle room.
Maybe the Taiwanese, have already communicated this little factoid to the pinko commie geeks in China.
Yep
The question is when, where, and how big. Taiwan has small islands closer to Chinese mainland than itself. A couple of them are right next to the mainland. "Patriotic" PLA could take some of them, and make a big political hay.
Interesting points, thank you.
An invasion would have to happen in October or April because of sea conditions. Should be an interesting month.
They pretend to catch fish and then some of them claim that they have engine problem, using it as an excuse to land on one of small Taiwanese islands. They are followed by other trawlers, ostensibly to help them. If Taiwanese military tries to stop them, Chinese will pick a fight. The ensuing violence would be broadcast live on Chinese media, inciting population into a frenzy.
Then "Patriotic" Chinese navy and air force will be mobilized to "rescue" them. Their media will be filled with non-stop broadcast of people wishing for the safe return of poor "fishermen" and outpouring of support for "brave" Chinese military.
It would be interesting if this will end up as a Chinese rout. Xi will risk his ouster if he does nothing. Probably, his only option is escalation.
A little war would divert attention from the economic news and even kungflu.
We did prove over and over that allies are not as important as LGBTQAllies...goodbye Hong Kong, Ughiurs, Chinese Christians, African Christians....Afgani allies.
Taiwan invasion is internal consumption propaganda - externally, it is being used to conceal their US$9.6 billion genetic warfare research project, of which the covid was a mere data gathering vehicle. As of now, the Wuhan lab, having produced a 1% fatality disease is working on an 80% fatality disease - per report on cable last night.
Just keep swatting at the hornet nest, stupid.
Blah, blah, blah.
It would mean I could buy nails that don’t bend after the second blow of the hammer? We could have the old American made ones again? LOL!
I am on my sixth 11 inch electric sander form China Harbor Freight. They last about 10 hours then break. I am looking int a Bosch replacement sander. Buy once.
