  Seriously, if China doesn’t use the current state the US are in, then I dint know what they are waiting for. I wouldn’t be surprised if this goes down this year. What a shitty timeline.

  Prepare for the semiconductor drought of the late 2020s, and looots of greedflation.

    They’re not waiting, they’re preparing. They’re currently happily building navy and air force bases on “contested” islands in the South China Sea and nobody, not Biden, not Trump, is stopping them.

    What they’re doing is commonly called encirclement.

      You could look at it as them building future US military bases…

  I feel like China would hire another country to do this so somehow the U.S. wouldn’t intervene under the orange clowns “leadership”…

    Why would Russia care about Taiwan?

      50k troops for a quick in/out war, in exchange for 500k troops to help with their current in and out adventure.

      India would probably be able to do it if the US doesnt intervene.

  Philippines is more committed to war with China than Taiwan is. US has very firm puppet there, and they are choosing self destruction instead of trade with China. They just got rewarded with 17% US tariffs yesterday. Canada, as complete crackhead response to attack from US, made a defense pact with Philippines.

  This propaganda was certainly published prior to tariffs.

    China bullies the Philippines every day, how can you considering having a trading partner like that?

      Philippines provocation at US puppetry request. Military base giveaways are not good for your health. Like all wars, US direct provocation by bribing a proxy puppet. Hopefully for Philippines, extreme anger at their corrupt evil government topples it unless it changes to the right course.
