CHINA has reportedly placed its military on "high alert" as state controlled media warned Taiwan of a looming "doomsday" amid fears of invasion.
Beijing and Taipei are feared to be sitting on the brink of a conflict which could end up drawing in the US and potentially spiralling into World War 3.
Both sides have traded barbs - and now China has issued some of its most strongly worded threats to date as it vows to "reunify" with the separatist island that has claimed independence since 1949.
Chinese defense ministry spokesman Tan Kefei described Beijing's military as an "high alert" and "ready to fight any time", according to Communist Party controlled newspaper The Global Times.
And he fired back at the US who accused China of destabilising the region by carrying out military drills which are seen as squarely aimed at Taiwan.
Dozens of warplanes have been buzzing the island's air space and mass beach landing operations have been carried out in exercises that are widely seen as rehearsals for - or at least threats of - a full scale invasion.
Tan reiterated that Taiwan belongs to China and accused the US of "confusing white with black" over the issue - pledging that "external interference" would be beaten back.

>>With all of the satellites parked above Taiwan surprise isn’t really a thing any longer.<<
...Unless it’s a massive espionage campaign before an invasion.
“This could all escalate tomorrow, and change all of our lives - but tonight that possibly is not a thought in the minds of most of us.“
Agree.
We all Need to be prepared without making foolish decisions.
If this happens it would cause a world wide depression potentially . China is way too involved with the worlds economy .
But we also sell them a lot of products in addition to buying a lot from them.
I think that type of MAD (mutually assured destruction) in an economic way is why many haven’t thought China wouldn’t start a major war.
But China thinks way longer term, so economic damage won’t prevent them from starting a war .
Meh. Lifting a glass to the chicoms roasting in the hell of their own creation.
Come on Joe, talk to them..you’re the best friend they have
Overdue for a good World War...
I am not defending Miley. I am just pointing out that he is not a combatant commander. He isn’t.
They want to provoke Taiwan into acting first.

Bingo.
Geez. Since February, the globe has been erupting into chaos.
Just spent last night reading about Lebanon.
This Taiwan situation is getting more dire everyday.
Just how long would that 7 Gorges faulty POS dam last in the event of a scumbag, buttlicking chicom invasion I wonder? Just speculation, I’d have to imagine it’d probably suffer from a catastrophic failure due to chicom incompetence.
The real question: Who really is running the country? It sure ain’t Biden.
ROFL!!!
Interesting thought.
That was something I theorized about in the early to mid 1990s.
People laughed.
Or they wish to scare Taiwan into surrendering without firing a shot. Militarily, Taiwan is no match for the PRC. Will the US come to Taiwan’s defense? How much are we willing to risk in a confrontation with the PRC?
Yep
(There is a lot of ‘normalcy bias’ going on right now)
And “let’s get back to normal” bias
It will never happen, unfortunately
In an election year a “mysterious virus” (FROM CHINA) is unleashed on the world...and the US.
A China takeover of Taiwan would plunge the world into an economic abyss overnight.
The global supply chain is collapsing and this would push it over the edge for a decade at least.
Not just semiconductors made in Taiwan, but think of the sanctions that will be placed on China because the west will not go to war.
This is the collapse that the globalists are dreaming about so they can blame it on capitalism and implement "The Great Reset"
