I feel like china would crack down on HK alot harder, up to and including military occupation, long before they would make a move on taiwan.

Taking this action in HK would be a good litmus test, a measure of how the world would respond to this perceived aggression.

Also another thing to keep in mind is that an invasion of taiwan would be bad for alot of global business, and like I always say, if its bad for the 1%, its not gonna happen.

They said the same thing about HKs financial market, so you never know. They seem to have a we're on a mission from god attitude, and with so much at risk for the 1% I think they know we're gonna let them do what they want.

It's like they trapped us with huge financial deals.

I don't think World War III will start in the next few years. There will be a local collision. I think that now we are being prepared for the fact that something might happen. In the course of the clash, territorial issues will be resolved in the direction of Russia.

There's just too much money on the line for world war 3 like elon musk is worth more than 300 billion in some kind of untaxable virtual currency and jeff bezos is just behind him. How can people with this much itchy and scratchy dollars let world war happen?

I just dont buy it, but I do buy some borders being redrawn and everying reluctantly allowing it in favor of there not being another world war.

i guess i forgot to add, aside from the south china sea sabre rattling, as an outside observer china seems to have a "less is more" strategy when it comes to real military hardware. They have all the latest tech, and of course nukes. But they dont have much of it, and in like the last 1000 years of china's history they don't exactly have a history of going out of their way to start fights.

So their military has a million soldiers, ok, and they have all the latest boom boom toys, but if you compare those techy toy numbers to the US or Russia, it looks alot like, "I can respond in full force if I have to, but I don't want to"

China could totally build 11 super carriers to match the US's numbers, but they don't.

China could totally line its borders with missles like Russia, but they don't.

So as far as a Chinese involved WW3, i don't see it happening, and again, an independent Taiwan has proven to be a good thing for global business.

Its interesting to read about Taiwan's military defensive capabilities, that island has been fortified into a veritable fortress, if china were to take them on with force, they would probably succeed, but it really would require the full military might that they can muster, even with all their techy toys and 1 million soldiers, a victory would still hurt badly and bigly.

imo the chicoms aren't stupid, and they know its just not worth it. Much easier and much more peaceful to just keep up the, "Get back in line, Formosa!" rhetoric and look strong to the world.

In the 21st century, public opinion is how the outcome of any war is decided, and they know that.

but keep an eye on hong kong, that will be used as a measure of how far china thinks it can go.

----------

so yeah Russia is probably gonna gain some territory. Putin believes that as long a a democrat is in the white house, he can do whatever he wants. Obama didn't even blink an eye when Putin annexed crimea, and Putin knows that Joe Biden is softer than the ice cream he ran his campaign on.

South American nations will fall further into disarray, this plays directly into the democrat hands as they welcome any and all south american folks into this country with open arms and free everything, on my dime no less.

After Putin soaks up the rest of ukraine, a few other EU nations will probably pull a brexit, everybody is sick of NATO sitting on its hands, and U.N. peace councils being less effective than a bug against brick.

Soo... whos planning to become an irradiated zombie???

I'm going to kinda hide from the blast. Like, leave half my body out of the door kind of thing. That way, ill get the best of both worlds. I hope thats the recipe. I'll have to install fallout to do some research.. brb

china is a paper tiger. Wars will never be fought on a huge scale like wwII again. Its going to be economic warfare. Thats how you take down a nation. How can you fight when you cant even pay or buy anything? Worthless money = no war.

they will build 21 super carriers over night.

but those are irrelevant anyway, the fact that we have trillions invested there means we would never attack.

That is far superior than the threat of mutual annihilation.

Not to mention mutual annihilation is not mutual if you compare china and the US, if the grid shuts down, America burns and china stays china.

pixar's new movie is predictive programming to prepare us for world war 3, sorry to cut your dreams of the best year short little girl, but big red's getting in the way.



Is this movie actually about all the chinese CPP youth that have been brought here for what they thought was a bright fun future, but actually is because they're all part of the CCP chinese Ultra program and will be activated and turned into warriors because of a debt their parents made with the CCP?

This movie is lit.
