The world has changed, both China and Russia have advanced exponentially. Just one look around shows me how far the US has fallen.Russia is not doing very well in Ukraine.
China?
Our intelligence agencies have been giving us bad intel. The only thing they're interested is "feeding the beast" which is the MIC. So they made Russia and China appear to be like superpowers. Which is not the case.
The MIC is interested in a war that'll last for 10 years. Vietnam. Afghanistan. Great wars.

If I was Xi I woulda done it much earlier. The Dems dont want this war...unless they think that they can suspend the election over it? Everyone and I mean everyone knows that Trump is the leader to be in command in the U
SA if shtf in Taiwan/China. Right now the USA has no president. Is the acronym PINO trending by now?

From an English language Taiwanese source:
https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/5951263
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Ministry of National Defense (MND) tracked 11 Chinese military aircraft, eight naval vessels, and one official ship around Taiwan between 6 a.m. on Saturday (Oct. 12) and 6 a.m. on Sunday.
Of the 11 People’s Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft, nine crossed the Taiwan Strait median line in the nation’s northern, southwestern, and eastern air defense identification zone (ADIZ), according to the MND.
In response, Taiwan sent aircraft and naval ships and deployed coastal-based missile systems to monitor PLA activity.
So far this month China has sent 150 military aircraft and 74 ships around Taiwan. Since September 2020, China has increased its use of gray zone tactics by incrementally increasing the number of military aircraft and naval vessels operating around Taiwan.
Gray zone tactics are defined as “an effort or series of efforts beyond steady-state deterrence and assurance that attempts to achieve one’s security objectives without resort to direct and sizable use of force.”

The Dems dont want this war...unless they think that they can suspend the election over it? ****** That’s my big concern! China invading Taiwan, and/or North Korea starting something with South Korea, and Biden suspending the election.
Short of killing Trump, it’s the only way they will keep him out of the White House.

Could a third party provide independent manpads, A2A weapons to light them up one day. I’m sure we have a ton from Libya. Just have some fun.

Well, they need to get it done before January 20, 2025 because there will be a new President that actually has a spine, so...they’re warming up...
