I think any time now and China's going to be trying to invade Taiwan. Will any countries try to protect Taiwan? I think if there's any country that will, it will first be India. India already hates China because there's been fighting over what land is whose.
It's not going to be pretty if that happens and as each country takes sides, we will be in a WWIII settings. We all know Joe Biden is compromised, so I think, (if he's still in charge when this happens.) Joe will have America sit on the sidelines as long as he can. (If he thinks that China will somehow lose with many other countries gaining up on it, he may join fighting against China and will look like a 'hero' to others if China falls and his slate will be 'wiped away' because it won't matter what China says about anything anymore.)
I see Australia joining Taiwan and India, they too hate China. Canada has a weenie PM running their Country so who knows what will happen there. Russia won't care either way, because they're trying to take over land as well. So as long as China leaves them alone, they'll either help them or 'sit it out.' Iran, well, we already know they'll take sides with the devil, so that's not shocking. Japan, South Korea, Poland, Israel and (possibly) Germany will probably join India and Australia if it becomes too intense.
Bottom line is, China invading Taiwan will be what lights the flame to the 'atomic bomb'. China feels cocky and arrogant right now, they practically destroyed a once prosperous Hong Kong without barely a protest. They feel 'entitled and invincible' and will be foaming at the bit for another 'win'.
What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear them all. I am just guessing with this situation.
Wait isn’t Russia and Ukraine also at odds?
If it happens, we are looking at WW3.
Not going to happen. Too many Japanese and American battleships sit between them. China would be stupid to make the move.
Russia shares a border with China, and they would be stupid to sit it out if some help was available to neutralize the threat the Chinese pose to them. I doubt Putin is that stupid.
Putin knows if USA goes away Russia is next on the menu. He would have to join the allies or be destroyed if the allies lose.
I have to imagine that Putin and every world leader knows that Chinas agenda is to destroy, and then control the world. Exactly like the USSR.
I think it comes down to whether Putin would be fine being the the premier of the Russian state of the CCP. I’m guessing probably not. But I think a lot of world leaders would jump at the chance.
Putin 1000% will side against the CCP.
Take it to the bank.
Almost 90% of China's oil transit through the Indian ocean since it comes from the middle east. That's why China is building large pipelines in Russia and Pakistan, as well as the oil rich South China Sea.
Don't forget one of the large reasons the Axis basically lost WW2 was because of oil.
China would cease to exist as CCP China if they attempt to repeat the violent communist expansions of the 20th century. Never again.
You just nailed it.
In a few months (weeks?), the CCP will no longer exist.
You may be giving Xiden too much credit (SEAL Team Six). Another possibility is that Xiden enters the fray against China but puts us in a no-win scenario. I wouldn’t put the worst case scenario out of reach of this administration. If the US suffers a defeat under Xiden command, the wind could be blown out of the sails of the other countries. How bad do things have to get before the military declares martial law? A Chinese flag above the capital building?
The thing is, so many companies in the USA depend on things like computer circuits made there, and other stuff. Biden is a pussy, but he is also a corporate puppet and a lot of global corporations probably don't want a Taiwan invasion, so I'm not sure what he will do. Kamala outright scares me, she might pick a war with China just to prove that she is boss.
IMHO, China is making a huge strategic mistake. They are not only bullying Taiwan, but they are bullying all of their neighbors. So if they do anything, everybody in the region will automatically take Taiwan's side.
Australia is a prefecture of china.
