"China has recently been attempting to have the U.S. sign onto a Fourth Communique under which the U.S. would no longer consider Taiwan as an ally or deal with it in any military or diplomatic terms. In effect, the U.S. would peacefully decline and leave the Western Pacific to China. The White House rejected it prior to the meeting of the U.S. and Chinese presidents on April 6-7 at Mar-a-Lago. It was raised again by Henry Kissinger, now in the pay of the Chinese government, at his meeting with President Trump on May 10.

"It has been said that President Xi wants the Fourth Communique to crown his consolidation of power at the national congress of Communist Party of China in autumn this year. But he is likely indifferent. If the U.S. could be talked into abandoning the Western Pacific and all its allies in Asia, that would be a bonus. It is more likely that he is making a casus belli for the war that he wants and thus head off intra-party criticism for military adventurism with its attendant horrors. China expects to win a short, sharp, glorious war.

"China, the U.S., Japan and Vietnam are all expecting war. China may have claimed all of the South China Sea but Vietnam still has 17 island bases there. These are a major long-term embarrassment to China. Vietnam will not give them up voluntarily so China will attempt to remove them by force – thus the current buildup of China’s amphibious warfare capability. China would also attack Vietnam along their land border to put maximum pressure on Hanoi."

Should there be a C&P Forum ?

Three paragraphs, less than 10% of the piece, but a situation is brewing there, China is going to make moves sooner rather than later, and the Norks might see any regional instability as their green light to take South Korea, maybe even try to EMP Japan...


It is a topic worthy of discussion.
 
We aren't going to like what kind of sacrifice it's going to take to prevail in that theater.
 
Considering the depth and width of our philosophical divide and the willingness of the Peace advocacy of the Left to engage in violence, I wonder if any military response on are part would trigger a sort of civil war...


We might be to the point of paralysis when it comes to massive use of military power.


I mean we all remember their antics over Iraq.

Just enough propaganda for you to hide behind in case the discussion goes sour.

If it goes sour, as your cut-and-paste hack jobs usually do, you can go "full Vetteman":

  • I NEVAR said that!
  • I NEVAR said I believed that!
  • I was only PASSING IT ALONG!

Would it be so bad to give them E100° to E130° north of N5°?

Only 1% of the population is defending the nation as we speak. The only implements of "massive" military force are catastrophic weapons. Our ground forces aren't big enough or prepared for the kind of large-scale ground operations a war with the Norks would require. I think this lack of conventional capability, air and ground, puts us closer to using such weapons than at any time since WWII. God forbid they sink one of our carriers with all 5000 hands. Those weapons will be coming out.

^^Still can't quiet the voices in his head or fight those sick urges.
 
Much of Americas manufacturing is in China. War aint gonna happen.

Whats coming is civil war in America because both politica; parties are owned by the Bush/Clinton elite class. Trump and Bernie belong to it.

It worked well when we surrendered Alsace-Lorraine and the Sudetenland...


Not to mention parts of Georgia and the Crimea.


So, yeah, no harm no foul.


:rolleyes:

Haunting paranoia is a terrible burden on an intellect clogged with Rocky The Flying Squirrel's long-term nut supply and last year's Christmas fruitcake.:D
 
Whatever war takes place there, it'd be Vietnam counting on US support. And ultimately, that would take place, or not, depending the sort of agreements honored / not by the Trump administration in regards to the trade deal with china.

Trump is yet to start delivering on his promises on that. Forcing china to stop devaluation of its currency, copyrights, going out of climate deals to force china to do so (chine being top polluter by far - due to its manufacturing and trade and currency devaluation policies, etc.) ; what concessions will China make and not will trigger a "Vietnam-China" or some war in the pacific.

Not the other way around.

Stupid prairee nigger blames everything the left. Maybe if his people had more pride and acceptance of responsibility they would still be relevant.

If China is entering a period of military belligerence, I'm not sure what actions we can take that will not be seen as hostile to Xi...
 
I foresee mass genocide in Africa when Cgina and India conquer rhe continent.

China's rising outrageous wealth and becoming leading economy at the expense of other tax payers in other economies through not adhering to international law by their illegal artificial currency devaluation, and not respecting copyright laws, environmental standards, etc. is the belligerence that they have entered into.

The actions are many. If that dragon won't stop fuming my ozone layer away, he will be fed water to cool down.
