The Israel-Gaza war is “taking away the focus” from the conflict in Ukraine, the country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has admitted.
He said this was “one of the goals” of Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
And he denied that fighting in Ukraine had reached a stalemate, despite a recent assessment to this effect by the country’s top military general.
Ukraine’s counter-offensive in the south has so far made little headway.
This has prompted fears of war fatigue among Kyiv’s Western allies, with suggestions of growing reluctance in some capitals to continue giving Ukraine advanced weapons and funds.
If you think this is bad, just wait until China goes for Taiwan. “Like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.”
China’s collapse is coming with the rise of other regional powers to counterbalance it. It’s right around the corner. Any day now.
I don’t know if China is going to collapse any time soon (at some point they will though). At risk of sounding like a conspiracy the world order is changing as America is no longer the sole leading power, trade and infrastructure development are heavily tied to China, and we are too reliant on their cheap goods to go against them.
China is not going to go for Taiwan.
Wish you guys would get this fantasy out of your heads.
My understanding is that they know it’s not worth it for them. But unfortunately the “glory “ of the “reunification “ makes it worth it for their leaders that want to be remembered for this.
source?
The number of opportunities they have to actually pull it off are so few and far between just from demographics, geography, and meteorology alone, that you can count with two hands the exact number of days between now and when the window will basically close permanently when they could even hypothetically make an attempt at it without cursing their entire invasion force to the bottom of the sea before they even encounter a defensive line.
Not to mention the rumours that Taiwan has developed a non-nuclear MAD doctrine which would allow them to instantly turn 400,000,000 Chinese citizens into refugees by blowing the 3 gorges dam. A scenario that would require China to turn any deployed forces right around to institute martial law.
Their best bets are;
a) when Trump is convicted
b) when Trump wins
c) when Trump loses
All three of those provide a large enough window where the US will be too busy to stop them
How about you try to prove a positive instead of asking for a source to prove something isn’t going to happen, debatelord
True, you can’t prove a negative, but at the same time that person made a firm statement, so someone else’s totally in the right to ask for citation to backup what they said.
They could have supplied quotes from Chinese leaders stating that they were never going to invade, etc.
Anyone who asks someone to prove a prediction is categorically an idiot
Nobody asked for “proof of a prediction”, but to back up their opinions that they are expressing as facts with some actual facts.

No, they meant credible sources. ESPN is a more credible source than the US military.
Oh yes, the U.S. military… pretty much the last people in the world you should trust.
Element of truth to that wild comment, so I’ll let it pass.
Uhh, a passing acquaintance with reality?
Let us know by what time you think China will invade Taiwan.
When that year comes and the invasion doesn’t happen, either admit you’re wrong or double-down.
he said source.
as in, reason us why? china has clearly expressed this desire over Taiwan, why wouldn’t it invade ever at all on a timeline?
I don’t care what he said.
How much time needs to pass before you admit you’re wrong?
then shut the fuck up you unanswering cunt. lmfao what arrogance
these reditgrants are sure pain in the ass.
i just asked for proof and they started blabbing. at the same time these hypocrites also dislike religions.

Generally speaking, you should consider that some of them are actually bots/shills sowing unrest to shape a narrative.
Okay. 10 years. 20? How much time needs to pass before you admit when you’re wrong?
When do you think China is going to invade Taiwan? 1000 years from now? Lol.
What’s wrong with you?
I’m allergic to bullshit
Wow, you didn’t just move the goal posts, you shipped them cross state.
And that ratio, yikes!
Dang, you’re really dedicated to this.
Lol, gonna block you now. Getting annoying seeing you reply to all my posts.
Do you really lack self-awareness? lol
It’s called normal scrolling, and seeing your next comment.
Actually, this is not the first time you told me you were blocking me. Please try to get it right this time.
If you can’t handle disagreement with your opinions, move on, or stick your head in the sand, aka block.
Oh no, how dare they start a vicious campaign of… replying to your comments.

Ditto.

By 2080 either China will invade Taiwan or have a completely different government. There is no way the CCP doesn’t invade Taiwan by then
I predict that by the time I’m dead and no one can tell me I was wrong…
Cool. I guess most of us will be dead by then, so we never really get to see if you’re right or wrong.
Great argument.
Argument?
Just like Russia never being stupid enough to invade Ukraine, right?
No. Ukraine is not nearly as strategically valuable to the US as Taiwan.
Try to focus on the subject at hand instead of resorting to analogies.
A lot of things in China are going downhill: trade, banks, real state. China isn’t just going for Taiwan, it’s projecting imperialism all around, even with India, another BRICS member. Taiwan is just the biggest mark. I wouldn’t cross off options for what imperialist despots will or will not do when they become increasingly desperate.
Imperialism? Get a grip.
