It's unlikely that China will make some kind of move on Taiwan within the next two years, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley said on Wednesday.

Milley's comments came amid heightened tension in the region and U.S. reassurances that it would stand with Taiwan against Chinese aggression.

Milley was asked on Wednesday whether he thought China was preparing to make a move on Taiwan within the near future.

Exactly. That means Taiwan will be part of China by next Summer.

You’ll see the balloon go up when it’s safe to attack.

That douchebag doesn’t know what day it is. (Yes, I am a retired officer calling the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff a douchebag.)

Absolutely. It could have been an indefinite thing if we had followed my emBASEee strategee.

from my home page

I have been advocating for several years a policy I call ‘embaseees’. Embassy + AirBase —> EmBASEeees. We go into a terrorist country, clear out their taliban equivalent, then withdraw to very large Embassies, perhaps 3 of them. Have them big enough to encompass a military airbase where we can use it for decades on end to conduct anti-terrorism operations. As long as the ‘host’ country aint killing Americans then we let them have self-sovereignty. Kind of like how we operated in the Phillipines for decades. We could even have an intermediate zone that we patrol but it would be autonomous. Let them have their taste of freedom. A referendum every 10 years to see how large the boundaries of the intermediate autonomous zone should be.

The Chicoms don’t need to invade Taiwan. They can just buy it with our money. Lock, stock and barrel.

They won’t invade nor blockade, they will engage in a “mass internal civilian migration”.

from my home page

There are some updated conversations regarding the sampan civilian navy internal migration approach.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3979585/posts

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4002096/posts?page=58#58

The chinese will send a sampan navy with 10million “internal migration” civilians armed with CNN uplinks, cameras, and bullhorns. When they get mowed down by our side, the resulting negative PR will be amplified by the chinese knocking out 2 of our aircraft carriers in the blockade with their hypersonic ICBM thermally guided antiship missiles.
America will luze stomach for the fight over what it already calls an internal province of China. Taiwan has never declared independence.
About a third of civilians in Taiwan are ethnic Chinese and maybe only half of them have loyalties and fifth column tendencies towards communist China. They have hundreds of thousands of cargo ships they can fill with civilians armed with cameras, CNN uplinks, and bullhorns.
The resultant slaughter will be live on CNN and the PR backlash will be enough to let China walk right back into their own internal (never did declare independence) province. If we blockade them, they’ll lob thermal-capable antiship ICBM missiles at our aircraft carriers and CNN will record them sinking to the bottom of the sea with the resultant nuclear plume.
America will luze stomach for the fight after luzing a couple $Trillion in carriers and tens of thousands of men in one afternoon, all seen on CNN, with our recourse being... to slaughter civilians. China has all the cards, they just have to lay them down on the table at this point.
And when it’s all over but the shouting, the RINOs and GOPes and democraps will be handwringing, hoping for a quick way to order chinese chips & electronics from Amazon. The chinese want the continued business of globalists so it’ll all be “can’t we just get along” and “water under the bridge” as soon as China is in charge and chips are shipping.

He’s like a general George Costanza. A strong strategy would be to ask him what his instincts are and do exactly the opposite.

Milley also though the CCP having a Hypersonic Glider was unlikely too.

I got a chuckle with this one.   What has the General of denial been right about so far?

First off, the top general is ACKNOWLEDGING that China WILL invade Taiwan. Big shift from “not going to because we’re going to live up to our treaties”.

Next off, China’s time to strike is, well, right about now. Rough guesstimate:
- one year to pull off the invasion completely
- one year to establish dominance and squelch opposition
- one year to normalize situational acceptance on the world stage.
Three years.
This is best done by taking advantage of the weakest President USA has ever had, leading the only country that has any interest & ability to defend Taiwan. If China is really clever, they’ll coordinate this with several other countries bent on domination, presenting the USA with prospect of a multi-front war none of which Democrats want to take on.
If planning to, China needs to make and complete this process before the USA electorate gets mass enough to assuredly elect a strong and motivated President keen on protecting Taiwan.
Now is their time: Biden is on the verge of collapsing, the heir apparent is incompetent and knows it, and internal strife will overwhelm issues concerning other side of the planet.

Won’t attack for two years? I give it about two months tops.
