The truth is they wont have to attack taiwan, they will simply take it with taiwan handing it over peacefully.



agree they could set up a blockade. Nothing comes in or out.. They could cut the communication cables under the water then no internet

i think there could be a handshake agreement not to attack and wait for chip factories to be built first in the USA.

the city does not have any value, I am surprised both sides are there this long
The ukes have to defend it because beyond that is kramatorsk and sloviansk, they are much larger cities but do not have the defensive works the were built in bakhmut for the last 8 years, so once those cities would fall there's nothing all the way to the dneiper - which would be a logical stopping point for the invasion.

Marxism Makes Chinese Military Believe War With US Is ‘Inevitable’: Top US General​


Communist China’s military leadership increasingly believes that war with the United States is inevitable, according to the United States’ most senior military officer.

The Chinese military is fostering destabilizing rhetoric and ideas that could encourage a catastrophic conflict with the United States, said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley during an interview with the Government Executive Media Group on March 31.

“There’s a lot of rhetoric in China… that could create the perception that war is right around the corner,” Milley said.

“In my analysis of China, at least their military and perhaps others have come to some sort of conclusion that war with the United States is inevitable. I think that’s a very dangerous thing.”


Milley said that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Marxist ideology was largely responsible for this belief, and that it encouraged deterministic thinking among Chinese leadership, including military officers.

“They come out of a Marxist ideology… they believe in historical determinism, they believe in a linear approach to history,” Milley said.

“That is not how we in the West think.”


To that end, Milley said that war with the CCP regime was not inevitable and could still be deterred, but that the United States would need to “stay strong relative to China” and ensure it was ready to win any war that emerged.

“I don’t believe war is inevitable,” Milley said. “I don’t think it’s imminent. But I do think that we need to be very, very pragmatic and cautious going forward.”


Milley also noted that CCP leader Xi Jinping had set an explicit date of 2027 for the Chinese military to be ready to attack and seize Taiwan. The decision to invade had not been given yet, Milley said, but the regime is nevertheless intentionally building its capacity to do so.

“They’re training and manning equipment to do just that,” Milley said of the CCP’s preparation to invade Taiwan.

“My guess is we’ve got three or four years to get Taiwan in a position where they will create a perception in the minds of the Chinese decision makers that the costs outweigh the benefits.”


Next War Will Be Fought with AI and Robots

Speaking more broadly about the nature of conflict and the United States’ military development, Milley said that the character of war was in a period of profound transition. The next great power war, he said, would look unlike anything seen before.

“I think we’re at a pivotal moment in history from a military standpoint,” Milley said.


Paraphrasing the Prussian general and military philosopher Carl von Clausewitz, Milley said that, although the nature of war does not change, its character over the ages does, and that the world was currently in a period of “fundamental change in the very character of war.”

To that end, Milley said, robotics, artificial intelligence, precision munitions, and global communications would all become aligned and interconnected in the next war. Indeed, he said, the major militaries of the world would become predominantly robotic.

“Over the next ten, fifteen years, you’ll see large portions of advanced countries’ militaries become robotic,” Milley said.

“I would submit that the country, the nation state, that takes those technologies and adapts them most effectively for military operations, that country is probably going to have a decisive advantage at the beginning of the next conflict.”

Milley compared the race to deploy such technologies to the emergence of mechanization and airpower between the two world wars.

Much in the way Nazi Germany had harnessed industrialization to conquer Europe, he said, the first nation to unify AI, robotics, and telecommunications in a coherent doctrine of war will become supreme on the world stage.


“[Germany] overran Europe in a very, very short period of time… because they were able to take those technologies and put them together in a doctrine now known as ‘Blitzkrieg’,” Milley said.

The United States, he added, was working to develop its own doctrine of joint warfare in this new technological era, and would deploy automation, robotics, and other technologies accordingly within the next five to seven years.

“That’s coming…” Milley said. “We’re looking at the inside of ten years.”

A mere 1-2 yrs ago a country like egypt wouldn't dare do this because the US would be upset, No one cares about our opinions. policies, or threats anymore.

Another disaster.


‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️“This is a catastrophe: the Russians have taken Krasnogorovka and entered Avdiivka. More than half of the 53rd brigade destroyed" - APU in a panic
▪️The military of the 53rd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that the brigade was approaching a disaster, more than half of the brigade were killed or missing. No ammunition, weapons, medicine. The command of the brigade abandoned them, they demand that Zaluzhny urgently withdraw the remnants of the brigade from the front, because. they do not have the strength to repel the attacks of the Russian army.
Other Ukrainian military comment on the footage:
▪️ “This video was sent by our guys from Avdiivka. To be honest, it's scary to watch. Our defenders are in frankly deplorable conditions. I really hope that this video, like dozens of others, will be seen by the military leadership of the country and punish those responsible. Until then, hang in there guys…”

Let's see, they've moved closer to china, made peace with Iran and switched sides to Assad in syria, i dont think they give a flying F about the US anymore. I'm waiting for them to announce they will no longer accept dollars in payment for oil.
