USA-TWN-PRC
So the US and UK with a few other nations have been conducting a massive show of force in the South China Sea… Why? It’s because Taiwan being the rebel wanna be independent state that it is, depends on these other nations to keep China in check. Taiwan by itself cannot be sovereign and has depended on billion$ over the past 70 years from US to maintain their facade.
But… let’s look at some reality in the actual threat of a PRC takeover of Taiwan. Any physical takeover in practical terms would require a massive air campaign to allow for troop movement to occupy the rogue province. Both the PRC and Taiwan know that an amphibious ground invasion would be a disaster. That’s why the Allied Naval forces are literally invading the South China Sea… to project power in Asia. The Chinese have become more influential in Asia and Africa in the past decade because of economic reasons more than as a military threat. But the Allies keep on prodding and pushing and bullying.
So now the Chinese are rapidly advancing their military to answer for massive gatherings of hostile forces at their borders. For those that follow such topics… it’s a well known fact that the PRC has made amazing advances over the past 20 years. Do these advances also come at the cost of Americans tax dollars like the CV19 issue? It’s highly likely that these advances are because of the PRC college kids that came over here to study sciences… but let’s also not forget that the big ‘American’ defense and aviation sectors rely heavily upon China and even are helping them build new technology.
Below are a few links I looked up after writing the above rant… I think they sum this up nicely. The US influence in Asia is rapidly diminishing and even now the South Koreans are talking nice with The PRC. This comes as Biden says he’s drawing down the US nuclear Arsenal while China is adding another 250-300 silos for nuke delivery systems and flying a hypersonic drone around the globe.
Meanwhile Biden is off prancing around in Europe… and where’s Kamala? Certainly not at the Border PLP or in DC doing her damn job. Tiddlywinks Anyone?
