When dozens of military planes flew close to Taiwan recently, the Taiwan air force would go up and greet them and tell them to leave the area. The Chinese commies would then spend their time cussing out the Taiwan pilots on the radio.
It is quite possible that the commies haven't even armed their planes during these provocative incursions. Otherwise a war could break out by one mad pilot getting trigger happy and shooting at a jet. Around this period of time was the 72nd anniversary for the commies, and this may be why they were putting up a show of force. Today they launched only one aircraft compared to 150+ the two days before.
On the sea, the US and a host of other nations are still conducting freedom of navigation routes through the Taiwan Strait as Chinese navy ships trail them the entire way. There are also hundreds of miles of the south China sea where allied ships are spread out and could sail too close to the many islands China has grabbed the past few years.
I am hearing very few rumors on any altercations, close calls or confrontations with all the ships. But the lines are drawn between China and the allies. It is very obvious the US has made their intentions known that they WILL defend Taiwan. The UK, and Japan has also made it clear they will defend and help Taiwan. Whatever China does in the way of an offensive move against Taiwan would be countered within hours. It is not possible that China could successful do an invasion against Taiwan without sustaining huge losses and being totally stopped.
If they try a bombing run and missile attack on Taiwan to soften them up, Taiwan will start a counter attack on the Chinese mainland with a missile strike. If any ships in the region are making aggressive moves, Taiwan will sink them by subs, and underwater mines.
While that is going on, the allies would then go into action and duplicate and enhance Taiwan's military moves. China would then have a choice of either continuing to lose assets, or stand down, or try to hit Taiwan with nukes.
During that momentary process the US would also throw missiles at ground areas in mainland China where the attacks originated from, and may face off with the Chinese navy. If the US loses any ships, subs, or aircraft, that would be enough for the US military command to make a decision to attack China with greater force to stop further actions against their forces and to protect Taiwan.
Unfortunately, since China is such an arrogant and aggressive nation militarily, it is not likely they will stand down regardless if it is wise to do so. It is during this time that China may actually decide to hit other bases, countries, and even the US mainland with nuclear missiles. They actually think that the threat of that scenario would cause the US to stand down and back off. Nothing could be further from the truth.
As we watched the development of wars the past 100 years, we see a pattern of increased military options at the disposal of a nation's leadership. It is highly likely that the globalists actually want to see a war go nuclear to judge the reaction from countries and the masses. It is a test to see how far they can take things. We have seen many tests take place the past few years against the public and on nations. It appears to me that a test involving the real risk of at least a controlled or limited nuclear war, ,is very possible now.
For this reason I do believe that seeing a war involving nukes is highly possible at this time. At the very least we can see a nuclear exchange from China and India and/or India and Pakistan. This will mean, at the minimum, we are going to have to deal with radioactive fallout here in the US.
I don't put a high probability of the US being nuked on a wholesale basis from coast to coast, at this time. I only see a small number of nukes hitting the US as a possibility as things stand now. There is also a risk of Guam being hit, Okinawa, South Korea, and Japan and possibly Hawaii. It is also possible that a city on the west coast could be hit, like Los Angeles.
But if China went that far, it would mean they would lose Beijing, along with several other large cities and military bases. China can afford to lose 300 million in a disaster or biological warfare purge, and it wouldn't even phase them. But the loss of infrastructure and factory production will shove them back decades and could collapse the communist government.
The bottom line is, China has no idea how far the allies will go against them. They have never faced substantial push back before in this modern era. This is a new reality they never had to deal with before. The fact is, the globalists altered their long term agenda with the commies, and placed China on the rogue nation list.
That changed everything, but the Chinese are too blinded by arrogance and power to comprehend the change in the global environment. The commies are under-estimating the allies. They are not evaluating the risk properly at this time. This miscalculation will end up causing the downfall of China as the allies and the US decide to take China down altogether and eliminate the future threat they would pose to the world.
This means that what China thought would be a slam dunk victory for them, will end up being the disillusionment of the Chinese communist government. Once this starts there is no fall back position available to the commies, they would already be "all in" for the win - thinking the US and the allies will back down. But a military conflict of this magnitude will not see the US backing down. It will be like WW2 all over again, as if Imperial Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. The US will be highly motivated to finish the war with total victory. China is toast, no matter how you slice it. GE
