I am not dragging China into this. China and Russia are already allied with BRICS. This war is about who will rule the world and that means whose currency will be the world's reserve currency.
I am stating what is obvious to anyone willing to watch.
I lived in Taiwan for 8 years, my daughter is there right now. No one can rule the world without controlling Taiwan because they make the most sophisticated high end computer chips. I have seen Taiwan's defenses first hand and twenty years ago I thought they would be able to deliver a very harsh blow to China if they attacked. I figured they would be able to sink China's ships and troop carriers. I figured the beaches in Taiwan would be much more difficult than the ones in Normandy, France. But that was before I learned that China has tunneled under the Taiwan strait and is able to get troops in unscathed.
