The dragon puts her foot down and breathes some fire.
The Bald Eagle sends some wooden sticks for those nearest to poke her with.
A) On Monday May 20th the new ‘separatist’ President of Taiwan read the speech written for him by Washington; saying some very foolish things about fellow ‘democracies’ plus some lies about China’s plans to invade to prevent secession. Taiwan is part of China, plans for separatism from its main trading partner, the rest of China, began with US influence.
‘In face of the many threats and attempts of infiltration from China, we must demonstrate our resolution to defend our nation (it’s not a nation), and we must also raise our defence awareness and strengthen our legal framework for national security. This means actively promoting the Four Pillars of Peace action plan: strengthened national (it’s not a nation) defence; improved economic security (basing semiconductor production in the US); stable and principled cross-strait leadership; and values-based diplomacy. By standing side-by-side with other democratic countries, we can form a peaceful global community that can demonstrate the strength of deterrence and prevent war, achieving our goal of peace through strength.’
B) The US has sent $15 billion worth of weapons to Taiwan which is being constantly renewed. There are boots and green berets on the ground on islands surrounding the mainland.
Some play acting happened in America recently where a crazy women berated Tony Blinken for not supplying weapons fast enough to their ‘partners’ in Israel and Taiwan because it meant that US working class families couldn’t provide for their children. (The US does indeed have a military economy which greatly benefits the MIC but provides no investment in public services nor people and is ultimately unsustainable.)
C) China declares that there must be NO INTERFERENCE in Chinese affairs or this will be seen as an act of war.
A+B+C=
And
No shots were fired but this warning or ‘punishment’ (according to the PLA) for Lai Ching-te’s remarks should be taken as an indication that Chinese patience has run out. Any more US interference will be met with a similar response to that of Russia over Ukraine.
The people of Taiwan are next into the meat grinder. The US and NATO could not defeat Russia. Everybody knows that the Chinese military capacity is even greater than that of Russia. American ships, if they sent any, would be picked off before they got anywhere near to China.
And China is prepared for sanctions and for war.
Taiwan will be as decimated and crushed as Ukraine. The only victors the MIC.
