Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Unfortunately I only watched what someone said so I can't provide the source of the dialogue but judging from the results of the 2020 election can you say China's hopes for Biden have been lackluster that anti CCP policies are still continued?Two-faced politician...hmmm...

ASPI Note: March 18 Biden-Xi Virtual Meeting
What to know about the recent call between Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping.
What is being embezzled? Maybe some money bu all the equipment we send is actually going to Ukraine.
Unless those HIMARS are just a figment of our imagination.
And no, the people the bidens worked with were not the ones in charge currently, and iirc were Oligarchs who are pro russian...
Making is LOOK is better then actually being.
We may have issues but we arnt untrained and untested China.
The president would be forced by congress or his handlers to get invovled if Taiwan was invaded.
Warhawks on both sides would jump at it.
You mean the old junk that breaks down if you look at it wrong that we left?
Undamaged they are not, just not damaged by combat.
Anything that would be of value was destroyed or taken.
Others can be left.
And the Taliban are barley holding on and have nothing that will get them more money for selling to China then vics Chika can buy if they wanted too.
And the military is wanting the fight in Taiwan.
Hell, we are preparing for it.
So we will get invovled, by forc eif those pulling the strings ir the president.

I am entirely sympathetic to you on the issue of there being no depth to which the Federal government, especially under Democratic control, will not descend.
However, you have to keep some other things in mind as well.
Particularly that Biden is not the only person in position to make a decision on whether or not the US goes in on helping Taiwan against China. All it takes is a single ship's captain in the area looking at the big mess of Chinese contacts in the air/on the sea moving towards Taiwan, and deciding to send them a message as follows.
"You are violating international law and Taiwanese airspace. Turn your asses around or we're going to enforce it on you."
Even if Biden and his entire administration is utterly corrupt, if a single naval captain decides to do that, much less one of the admirals in 7th fleet, the US Navy will be getting involved, and even if said officer gets court-martialed afterwards, it's going to be functionally impossible to pull back from that.

Maybe he's talking about elements of the Ukranian armed forces that deny supplies to their men or even sell them to the black market.
Which has never actually been proved and is just a way to try and stop aid from the west.
Another problem is the CCP may have ships, planes and troops. But they don't have the doctrine. We see from their misadventure in Vietnam and the most recent dust up with India. That the CCP Military does not know what it is doing in combat. That does not lend itself to a proper invasion of Taiwan. Let alone actually holding the island.

Assuming it's not just dickwaving, I guess they figure if they're going to do it, now's the time. The rest of the world is focused on Ukraine and has fewer resources to send to Taiwan (not all that true, land war versus naval plus amphib. assault, etc, but politicians will politician).
That and the global economic shitshow means it'll be harder for the west to put the screws to them without facing backlash at home.

Nancy Pelosi is to land now in Taipei... or be shot down by now.

Well, it might very well be nuclear war then.
There is gonna be no Nuclear War or Attack on the plane or Taiwan. China knows that doing so would piss of the world. A world that is still mad at them over the Coof. It also does not want a shit ton of countries declaring war on it for threatening THEIR chip supplier.
Wow the Tweet is already deleted. I think Evergreen Intel mistook 10:20 AM for PM in Taipei time.
Well here's a new one from France 24 and as per Translate:
So it's at 10:20 PM Taipei Time... which is just about eleven hours from now. since its 11:08AM in Taipei atm.
So we Yanks have one more night and a Brunch to enjoy before the War Begins.

If China doesn’t do anything much, the big fear would be that Xi might face a public embarrassment long enough for him to be couped, and replaced with a stronger war hawk. Either way, China has maneuvered themselves into a difficult situation of their own making.
One Hour Left Until the War Begins...
