Chinese “D-Day style” barges have been spotted practising what appear to be amphibious landings in the South China Sea.

    While this may have been true decades ago. It really isn’t anymore.

    Israel is doing very well on the world stage, given it’s destruction of Gaza…

    Russia’s installation of a puppet leader in the US could turn its outlook around in the next three or four years.

    I have no doubt that China is looking at its own success with destroying the autonomy of Hong Kong and thinking the time is right to take over Taiwan…

      People hate Israel. They see Israel as being one of the greatest evils of our time.

      People also hate Russia for invading Ukraine.

      If China invades Taiwan then they will lose all the goodwill they have worked so hard to build over the last 20 years.

        “People” hate them and not even most of them, many are more worried about what is going on in their own contries with growing hardline facism). Most goverments, are perfectly fine with still doing business with Isreal. Russia is in a harder place, but Putin just scored a HUGE coup with getting Trump elected…

        To add about China, the ruling elite consider Taiwan’s exsistance a challenge and “black eye” to thier rule of China and its “Power”. Old hatreds die hard. China is looking at the current world stage and thinking the hit they take would be acceptable. And TBH with current world politics, now is about the best time for them to take over Taiwan. Trump isn’t going to do shit to stop them. And Europe is to occupied with Ukraine-Russia to do anything…

        Last edit: To be clear I HATE Isreal’s goverment, Russia, and China’s possible agenda. I’m just trying to look at the situation dispassionately.
