Comrade Xi is no fool. He has seen what happened to the vaunted Russian military when it tried to attack an adjacent country over land. He knows that there is no guarantee that his combat inexperienced army of one child soldiers and his locally made untested ships and planes would be successful attacking a determined opponent over 90 miles of open ocean. Failure would not be pleasant for him, his family or his sycophants.

Yet he has also seen how the Russians really can not defend conventionally their underpopulated, rich Far Eastern territories or their Siberian treasure house. China has always coveted these places.

Putin at one point had a notion to join NATO. When this Ukraine war ends and the new strategic realities become apparent for Russia, he may regret not doing so.

What, we have to lose another war?

Is there some time clock for this? Every so ,any decades and we have to take a beating for no good reason?

Biden;s bankrupting the country,

gave billions worth of weapons to Afghanistan (and from Afghans to China TO REVERSE ENGINEER)

- and now billions to Ukraine... ALL WHILE DRAWING DOWN OUR STRATEGIC OIL RESERVES ...

And Milley likes Marx...

and our WOKE military went freaky and people aren’t signing up to serve...

And now they tell us they’re ‘watching Taiwan’? For what? To give them money? Or weapons or white flags? Or to cringe and bow before them? Or wallow in fear before them in World War III

US watching ‘very closely’ for signs of Chinese attack on Taiwan, says general

Yes, they’ve got popcorn popped and their friends on speed dial for the viewing party. And after that, they’ll watch the Rue Paul Drag finales.

I keep worrying that Mexico will decide to invade the US and the Biden Administration will immediately surrender

The dumbass Biden administration is probably worried about the carbon footprint of the Chinese military.

Are the Chinese generals going to give Mary Milley a heads-up if an attack is imminent?

I love these headlines: “We are watching it closely.”

Story: “Well, we are watching it closely. We watch everyone closely. But there is no sign of anything. It’s just another day.”

I guess they gotta make money too.

The Taiwanese people must be greatly relieved that General C.R.T. Milley is “up on that wall manning a post”.

“There’s no indications or warnings of anything imminent at this time,” General Mark Milley, the chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, told BBC News. “But again, we watch it very, very closely.”

And just what exactly would we do about it? How would we respond other than watching closely?!

Like we they watched really close while Russia packed up its goodies in Iraq and flew them to Damascus. Like we watched really closely while Iran moved into Iraq. Like we watched really closely when Ortega consolidated power in Nicaragua ...again. Like we watched really closely while China inches towards the Philippines. Like we watched really close while Russia prepared to go into Georgia. And watched really close while Russia prepared to go into Crimea. And are watching really close while it swallows Ukraine...

I’m sure the Bidung administration has a strongly worded letter ready to go to warn Taiwan to not defend themselves.

Why doesn’t Milley call his Chinese counterpart? He’s great for that....

Just like the FBI watched very closely the 19 Islamists who aircraft into the Twin Toery, Pentagon and a field in PA?

Just like the FBI watched very closely the Tsarnaev brothers?

Well, the FBI did watch president Trump very closely.
