Weren’t the Murdoch conversations in early and mid-March?
Wasn’t the phone call with Xi on the same day as the U.N. vote?
Aren’t you sort of spacing out with this idea that the president of Ukraine is controlling Fox and Red China?
Smoke and mirrors.
“…China, in a surprising move on April 26 cast a favourable vote for a United Nations (UN) resolution that recognised Russia’s military aggression towards Ukraine and underscored the importance of upholding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations…”
.
“…Previously, Chinese representatives had either abstained from or opposed resolutions that condemned Russia’s actions. However, on this particular occasion, several other nations, such as India, Brazil, Armenia, and Kazakhstan, who had previously abstained from denouncing Russia’s military aggression and war crimes, joined China in its vote.”
China is playing long ball. They have their eyes on Russia's natural resources. Putin has to know this, if he doesn't he's dumber than a box of rocks.
In addition to having their eyes on Russia's natural resources, they're paying attention to the fact that the US has pretty much depleted so much of our own conventional weapons arsenal that should they decide to cross the Taiwan straight and take Taiwan (which they WILL do before the end of their pupped Biden's first and only term) they won't run into much beyond naval opposition.
I'm not saying our Navy would be outclassed, they won't. We may however be outnumbered and we all know China doesn't give a second thought to throwing bodies at winning a war. They view their own poeple as chattel, to do with what they wish. If that means losing 5m of their own to win a war, they'll do it.
Suggest you win Sun Tsu's "Art of War"
Like 15 minute cities? Confiscation of farms? Hate Speech laws? Digital passports?
I generally agree my only hope is they do care about losing and about losing that navy or a lot of it, and the economic consequences. And that they’d have to fight Japan and Australia as well.
They might be likely to try a broader attack like Japan did in WW2.
And then America doesn’t like to lose wars and this might escalate up to something much more devastating. Just thoughts.
I see it working in Financial Services and all the attacks that come from China, probing and testing our systems.
Those in the Utilities space (power, water, natural gas, refineries, etc..) see it as attacks on our Infrastructure.
We see it via spyping through TikTok, the compromise of politicians (Biden, Swalwell, many others..) and more.
We're already "at war" with China. Trade War, their war against our Intellectual Capital to steal it, copyright infringement and their planning on taking over the bulk of the worlds computer chip manufacturing facilities in Taiwan.
The war China is conducting is far beyond conventional, that's just a small piece of it, a small part in their overall strategy.
Just wait until an EMP from an unknown satellite source goes off over our heads and plunges us into darkness, without heat, water, etc...
Oh dear God I'm depressing the hell out of myself now and I don't want to live through that crap and chances are I won't anyway.
China’s getting interesting...
Maybe Xi’s filling a vacumn..Biden’s such a fool... and his State Department so lame. Someone will step in.
I agree with your analysis as far as it goes. Seems to me 2 things are key and the second doesn’t matter without the first.
1 America and allies have to be more than willing to fight when the fight breaks out.
2 If we have number 1, all the action will not be on China’s side. And they may be deterred or defeated.
I firmly believe they are bullies largely counting on us backing down.
If it were me, I’d do now exactly what scares them the most, and which many think China wouldn’t tolerate. Start advocating worldwide and especially to the Chinese people, for freedom and regime change in China. They fear instability at home.
Hardly. Just a strongly-worded letter with multiple signatures. All that’s different is that China also joined them, dissing Putin.
