Kissinger: 'I don't expect an all-out attack on Taiwan ... in a 10-year period'

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said on Sunday that he does not expect China to launch a full-on military attack on Taiwan in the next decade.

During an appearance on CNN, Kissinger told host Fareed Zakaria that the "ultimate creation of one China" is the objective of Chinese policy, but he doesn’t expect Beijing to use military force in the near future.

98 year old Kissinger....

The ultimate Deep State Elite Globalist Insider has an estimated net worth of $50 million. (celebritynetworth.com).

Probably takes cuts in line waiting for the young person’s total blood transfer to keep him rejuvenated-——ahead of Keith Richards and non-celebrity billionaires.
“Feel like I’m 88 again.”

Same with us, just stop shipments, blockade exports..we would be hurting..you’re right..

In that case the opposite would happen. It would be the best thing possible. Then the USA could be self sufficient again.

You can't be serious comparing the USA to Taiwan? LOL

I must not have been clear, had a lot of that..lol...Taiwan is a polluted, place of few human rights, I saw a guy being not safe fall 15 foot to cement acting like a block and tackle by his bosses instruction, no machinery there to help laborers, only for production. When the guy came around, bleeding from ears and mouth his boss asked if he was going to finish the day..
America got in bed with China for cheap.labor and our greed built the ccp sadly, we also used Taiwan for various economic purposes as well, they of course did so of free will...

We will do nothing..they would be better off if attacked , to attack China than defend it, I think biden already gave in to Xi, thus the last statement, they have to decide for themselves, Xi said tell them were coming assimilate or be run over and imprisoned..
Maybe I missed the point again..

Ahh now I remember my point..wasn’t made well..maybe still wont..lol
Yea it would be more difficult, however, a hypersonic glide nuke detonated as a emp device would put us in the stone age..

Then food everything would shut down..
The world has always had a small amount of sanity not to go nuke on each other, the ccp has already attacked, so in that light, and China having a bigger navy, yea, we could get cut off..not near as easy as Taiwan..for sure..

China has always said it would win a nuclear war, they don’t care if we launch on them, they’ll take us after, don’t care about their prople..

Pfft. The EMP threat is way over hyped. There is never going to be a nuclear war. 1945 was it, A one off.

No the Chinese are no that stupid. They are gong to squeeze Taiwan with a blockade into submission.

Wouldn’t call stupid preparing the battlefield..depends on how they want to be seen, they have already launched bio weapons, they may have other goals not being considered, I expect we will have war here before the pres election..hope I’m wrong..
