It seems we are just days or hours away from an Iranian attack on Israel of some kind. This likely event will certainly strain our ability to supply Ukraine. The Chinese have to be looking at Taiwan and licking their lips. If Xi Ping Pong is serious about his threats to re-unite Taiwan with the mainland by 2027 this may be his best opportunity. History may not be repeating itself but it is rhyming and the new Axis powers are China, Russia and Iran. Has Xi said he has plans to take over Taiwan by 2027 or something similar?

Yes, he has publicly stated that one way or another Taiwan will be “reunified” with China by 2027. Allegedly he has instructed his military to be prepared to take Taiwan by 2007 as well.

Invading Taiwan would be difficult if the island defends strongly.
Sending an invading fleet across 180 kms in the face of drone attacks and anti-ship missiles might lead to impossible losses.
Beijing would need complete air superiority. Anti-aircraft missiles are now quite efficient, and I am sure Taiwan's mountains are now honeycombed with tunnels full of military hardware.

In recent years PBS has acquired a reputation of having a decidedly leftist leaning. I notice that Leftism is not much mentioned in this documentary about Nazis in the US in the 1930s.

Well of course not! All good-thinking people know that Fascism is a Right-y thing. After all, Trump is Literally Hitler, and military = fascist and the Republicans are the military-industrial complex...
Also, please remember that there is only "right" and "left". There is no middle. There is CERTAINLY no second possible dimension to political views, much less a third or more.
