Once my new thread is approved, I will be posting there when build up for war against china articles appear. Each war on each front is worthy of it's own thread in order to keep things organized and prevent confusion.
China and Russia is agreed on maintaining their strategic resolve.
Maintain means to continue doing what they have already begun.
Resolve means to stand strong against pressure.
Strategic indicates a plan.
BRICS -- this is a strategy to control the world's reserve currency, that is a direct attack on the US hegemony.
Ukraine -- this is a strategy to push back against NATO's hegemony.
Taiwan -- this is a strategy to take control of the high tech realm for computers, AI, and sophisticated weapons. Challenging the US preeminence.
Russia has claimed they have evidence of the US committing crimes with bioweapons labs in Ukraine, again a direct challenge to US hegemony and since the US has blamed China for the "China virus" something that both China and Russia could agree on pursuing as part of their plan.
Everything that Russia and China have been doing has been designed to replace the US as the top dog. That is their strategic plan. Russia is not going to win in Ukraine with a conventional war. We can bleed them out. Our Himars missiles are very effective against tanks. The US plan includes Ukraine being reduced to rubble so that our corporations can make a fortune rebuilding it. If they are agreeing to maintain strategic resolve they must be well aware of the cost they have spent so far and how heavily invested the US is and NATO is.
Russia cannot use Nukes on NATO while ignoring the US.
To be fair seizing control of Taiwan will be harder than Ukraine. It is relatively easy to roll into Ukraine and since they don't have a mutual defense treaty NATO and the US have been tip toeing around for the last year.
In contrast a Mountainous tropical island that has been fortified over the last forty years and does have a defense treaty with both the US and Japan would be a much tougher target. I was under the impression that Taiwan could defeat any invasion up until a year ago when I learned that China has a tunnel that will take their soldiers under the Taiwan strait to Taiwan. This definitely changes the equation, but I still wonder if China survives. Taiwan can inflict crippling attacks on Mainland. Japan has one of the most modern navies in the world and they are proven in battle.
I get it that they must be planning a Pearl harbor like attack on the US that will be very severe. Still I don't really see how China and Russia survive the retaliatory strike.
