Quote from: Possum on April 27, 2024, 11:18:26 AMI wonder how this will affect their decision on whether or not to invade Taiwan? War is costly.

I heard another tactic they may choose, a border invasion like we're seeing here.
Where the CCP floods Taiwan with Chinese refugees, to sway the vote to their side.

This actually seems plausible in the long run, considering Taiwan is already precariously split, it wouldn't take much to sway the vote.
It's something like 49% to 51%, that's not much of a margin to over come with vote fraud and immigrants.

Need the war to distract the people.

We've got 5 going as it is. Would one more even make a difference at this point?
The Marxists want Russia involved so badly, they're putting NATO in a lose, lose situation.
Hell, they already exhausted France and Germany's munitions supply. Gee, I wonder who is getting rich off all the arms sales?

I was watching a Jordan video, and pretty much all the M/E militaries are armed with US equipment.
It's almost as if the Military Industrial Complex is starting wars to sell equipment.

Actually it seems very plausible right now. Just ship the unemployed over and solve two problems.

Unfortunately it is feasible, so Taiwan better get busy on its voter laws and restrictions.

I did a bit of checking, Taiwan is 11 times smaller than Calif. and has 23 million people.
Sound like a lot, but Asians are used to crowded, they like their packed cities.

I'll never understand it.
