How doew this tie in with His continuing plan to redeem mankind to Him? I can see how NO nation or peoples will trust the U.S. from now on, China taking Taiwan is now foreseeable. Perhaps the military is still under the rightful Presidents control with Gen. Flynn's brother in command I can see where it might be so, I doubt the devil and ccp's lackey Biden would have changed that if he could.
I know that it isn't exactly right or good or equal but the whole world will rise up against China for taking Taiwan because their money is in Taiwan.
Afghanistan was never valuable enough...they have very few known exploitable resources at this time.
Even though rubies and emeralds are just rocks laying about...it's kinda bad how the USA tried to convert these people to a standard of living they couldn't understand.
They are mostly extremely uneducated and tribal by nature. (Think Hatfield and McCoys on steroids) They have blood feuds and blood alliances. They have lived by the centuries old rule of "might makes right" . (Which is why women are treated as one half step above property)
They never understood what the lifestyle was that we wanted for them. It didn't compute.
Taiwan?
Whole nudder critter. Every industrialized nation has money tied up in investments in Taiwan. It was a close thing with the latest crackdowns in Hong Kong (one time UK colony)
But Taiwan's capital investment by so very many nations is what's at stake.
And that will be a strong catalyst for actually coming to their side.
That and that Taiwan has vowed a scorched Earth policy... meaning that if it looks like they are going to lose they will make the place a desert island devoid of everything... including people and especially assets.
