I was just talking to a friend yesterday who mentioned that the conditions for China to invade Taiwan will be optimal in three weeks based on the ocean conditions and ship movements.
I said even if Trump wants to be the "president of peace" and avoid interfering, the generals wouldn't allow the inaction. I think my exact words were, "he would have to fire them all in the next two weeks."
One absolutely doesn't prepare such a large operation at such a short notice.
For an intelligence analyst, signs of an invasion are typically detectable 3 months ahead. If one performs a maritime invasion at a notice of weeks, failure is likely. (For reference, the D-Day needed years of planning and months of moving resources to work.)
Also, I trust that Taiwan has infiltrated China just as deeply as China has infiltrated Taiwan - they likely cannot keep massive secrets from each other.
You assume that I haven't already been planning. for months or years.
America is toast. Best we can hope for is a military coup. Military purge is in progress. At this point I think threatening to nuke Canada is the red line and only if prevailing winds are on my side.
Left and right are living in alternate realuties and this can only lead to violence. If the military chooses right then it's world war 3.
The non-violent alternative is for the left is to do an economic coup by halting consumption.
halting all work and transportation too. EDSA worked because the protests blockaded the capital
In my dreams
