Seeing that Piglosi is hell bent on getting us into a war and China sees how Biden has weakened us, yeah I’m not surprised by headlines like “China prepared to invade Taiwan “.
But how capable are they given that they are out of money? I mean like the Dems want to sacrifice our troops to distract from the Bidet economy, I’m sure China feels the same about the Evergrade collapse, but how likely are Chinese troops to execute orders if they aren’t being paid , or possibly equipped and fed?
Also given the unrest, if they were to attack in thier weakened state, how likely is India to take advantage? (I doubt we would see Tibet being freed, but maybe they would claim some of the disputed area in the Himalayas for example)
I think China is less of a threat overall because they are weak, BUT they are also unpredictable, so the chance of them doing something stupid is greater. I guess what I'm saying is they might start a war to "wag the dog" but its not a war they can ever win which means everyone loses. They won't attack Taiwan though because the USA, Japan, and SK might jump in to help. They will do something idiotic like attack Vietnam.
