Sensing Biden Weakness and a Closing Window, China May Invade Taiwan Within 18 Months
ANALYSIS – The most recent threats from Communist Chinese leader Xi Jinping to President Biden to not ‘play with fire’ over Taiwan, may show the communist bully may be looking at invading Taiwan a lot sooner than expected, possibly well before the end of Biden’s term in 2024.While Taiwan’s top intelligence official, Chen Ming-tong, said in March that a Chinese invasion this year was “highly unlikely,” a recent New York Times (NYT) report says U.S. officials now believe China may make a strong military move against Taiwan within the next 18 months.
This attack timeline may be moving up as China gains lessons from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and fears increased weapons sales to Taiwan may make it much harder to take over in a few years.
Since President Trump provided offensive weapons to Taiwan for the first time ever in 2020 with long range SLAM-ER missiles and the HIMARS precision rocket launchers, the idea has been to turn Taiwan into a military ‘porcupine,’ too prickly to conquer easily.

The United States is a country that fights with its' mouth. We never win a war, but if it is a war of words, we're all over it. We are a country of lawyers, willing to argue how many angels can fit on the head of a pin, but never accomplishing anything concrete, or credible. There are hundreds of thousands of them, maybe millions of them working for the government. It doesn't really matter if they ever win a case, as they get paid either way.
Having said that, brings me to the One China Policy. Nobody really knows what it means, although there are many legal interpretations.
To me, it means, that Nancy Pelosi has no business taking up all of this oxygen for her to take a trip to Taiwan. I don't care what happens to her or her plane, I just don't want to bear the brunt of her senile decisions, and of the China Hawks, who, like Tom Cotton, (I can picture him at the Salem Witch Trials) would like to gin up a was with China. (He doesn't seem to have gotten the communique that we have no Army, no War Fighters.) That doesn't stop him, however, from vicariously reliving his days in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That's harsh on Senator Cotton. Liz Cheney condemns him for speaking his views so he can't be all that bad. :) He's a Harvard Law School graduate and pretty damn smart.
It may be harsh, but the truth hurts. As I recall, Obama graduated from Harvard.
It seems like everybody graduates from Harvard these days. I think I would rather listen to someone from M.I.T. or Cal Tech. Somebody who actually knows something. Can he build a bridge? Can he engineer an electric car? He is a first-class War Monger, and for that matter, so is Cheyney, so it's the pot calling the kettle black!
!1:53...ok, that's your opinion. Are you getting your "tips" from Salon?

I wonder if Salon took that name from the Athenian Statesman in Ancient Greece
(600-500) BC
I like send Cotton too, i think he could be a good president as well.
I get it now: Nancy has morphed into Soong Mei-Ling. It all makes sense if you think about it. Nationalist China!
