This action is stupid. I will state that stupid is obviously easily contracted. |

Looks like the world we live in is getting more dangerous. First it was the Nordic Stream one and two getting blown up. Now it's a tanker hit by an Iranian drone. Nations/terrorists are going to start striking infrastructure. Ours (the USA) is the government which I feel like I trust the least. Just as duplicitous as China or Iran, but with more advanced capabilities, and with a history of Machiavellian shenanigans. When will we learn to simply mind our own business. Minding our own business is not good business for the military industrial complex Ike warned us about. It's counter intuitive but Republicans historically have run on a strong military but both parties seem to keep us in a constant state of war. The BRIC nations are trying to usurp the dollar as the worlds reserve currency and we are about to go full blown dark war on them. The war in Ukraine is not going well for the Russians and our chip war with China is probably going to escalate. The last time we pushed a nation this hard was when we forced Japan in a corner with our oil embargo just prior to WWII. Seemingly incapable of building high tech chips on their own China will undoubtably seek to take chip manufacturing in Taiwan. Dark clouds are building on the horizon. www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pacific/2022/1108/US-semiconductor-ban-targets-highest-of-Chinese-high-tech |

Taiwan is building major microchip manufacturing facilities in the US (article from 2.5 years ago). The "Chips Act" referenced in the second article was passed I believe in the last couple of months. Japan did that with cars and it seems to have worked out well for them. My guess would be that the Taiwanese would destroy their on-island plants before allowing the Red Army to take them over. That's assuming that the Chinese army/navy was any more competent than the Russians have been in Ukraine. Some believe that Taiwan could assemble tactical nuclear weapons in short order. Others believe they already have them. That 80+ miles between mainland China and Taiwan could be be a very hot and deadly mistake.
Yes. Dark clouds are gathering on the horizon. Us US watchers may also get very short notice of Iran's demise at the hands of Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates ... who all understand what the Mullahs have in mind for them. That would include Hezbollah as well. With Russia way overextended, "they" may decide that there is no better time than the present. Sunni Turkey does not love Iran either.

building nuclear weapons without the fissile material inside is not a nuclear weapon sort off.
For that matter on the other side of town you may have a store of fissile material specifically for your nuclear energy program the assembly could be very fast.
From what I understand the strait between China and Taiwan is 110 Miles to far to support with shore based defense systems. The CCP would have at least 2 million dead just for the landing and winning battles may cause a significantly larger level of death on the mainland.
Trade would be halted to any country regardless China does not have the ability to survive this in my mind.

Holodomor: Germany to call famine that killed millions of Ukrainians in the 1930s a 'genocide'
Stalin then resettled Russians on the graves of the dead.

I find it interesting that the Euro's are having a hard time deciding on a price to cap Russian oil at? If Mexico invaded Texas I certainly hope Kansas would not be buying Mexican oil! The Euro's are the biggest bunch of Puzzies I have ever seen... It has been said that Texan's are an arrogant bunch. When a British journalist remarked about the ragtag uniforms worn by Civil War soldiers of Hood's Texas Brigade, General Robert E. Lee replied: "Never mind the raggedness. The enemy never sees the backs of my Texans." The concept of funding a nation we are essentially at war with boggles my mind. www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/eu-fails-agree-russian-oil-price-cap-monday-diplomats-2022-11-28/ |
