Prelude to war.

[Rightguide]

The CCP flew a drone into close Taiwanese airspace. After several warning shots the Taiwanese shot the drone down.

Xi did this on purpose. He's been prepping his nation for war with Taiwan for years now and this act is just an escalation of provocations that he will use to inflame passions. This is not going to go unanswered.

US military analysts have estimated that China won't make a move against Taiwan for 3-5 years. Given the current global situation we may not have that long. The US Navy is a wreck. They are in the midst of far too many force transitions to be totally effective. The Air Force is in better shape, but not outstandingly so. Our ground forces will be utterly useless in such a confrontation.

Xi is running for a third term coming up in Oct. and is doing so not without opposition. The Chinese economy is in free fall with no end in sight, a great deal of the fault lies with his policies. There's nothing like a 'good war' to unite the populace. Ironically the same can be said of our nation from a political stand point. Biden can't allow Taiwan to fall because to do so will be the last nail in his political coffin and if he doesn't know that, he should.

Yes but how is he going to do it after firing the top 42 generals in his military, two of whom were the only two with real combat experience? At present, I don't think Xi has full control of his military, nor does he have full support of the CCP. There are some interesting videos coming out of China:

The fact that you idiots think you're getting anything truthful out of China is some of the most retarded shit ever. You know nothing about "42 generals" and their combat experience.

It's a shame you're too ancient for Call of Duty. It might satisfy your childish war itch, loser.

I know that only two of his top generals have combat experience. Those are the two that have disappeared. They fought the Chinese campaign against North Vietnam 1979. That was their last major war.

As for what is happening right now, take it from one of the top China experts in America:

The expert who predicted that China would collapse in 2011?

Xi is currently purging his TOP generals so there will be a considerable period of time before ANYTHING concerning invasion is contemplated.

There is a problem with this, though. His purges seem to be about slavish loyalty rather than "corruption" or "competence." If all he's left with are yes-men of dubious ability, he may be MORE likely to launch an invasion. Who among them will recognize flaws in an overly-optimistic invasion plan? Who will have the courage to point out those flaws?

The replacements don't even know what the "plan' is or the people they are giving orders to. It's so trump like.

That's why it's so dangerous. They'll all tell Xi, "The plan is ready, boss, anytime you want, yes SIR!"
