BTW, Blinken's trip went well until he left China, the People's Republic, and then stuff unravelling ...
Following up to this below,Message 34325635and thatMessage 34325957below-below, am guessing had Core Comrade Jinping even for a moment hesitated on believing Blinken, even if making a try for sense by infusion, that hesitation must itself be hesitating
China readout makes no mention of this CNN point ... edition.cnn.com
China has assured US it will not provide lethal aid to Russia, top US diplomat says
This sort of moves cannot possibly make any strategic difference and just a nuisance ... scmp.com
For first time, Taiwanese experts will join US-Japanese war games simulating cross-strait clash
- Military and security specialists from Taiwan will take part in tabletop simulations about how to deal with PLA threat, according to Taipei think tank
- The event will send message to Beijing that ‘war is disastrous’ and ‘all parties must be rational’, says senior analyst
I am guessing that the critical issue w/r to the Republic of China is that its troops are not ready, do not want to be ready, and will never be ready, and nothing any outside parties can do individually or in concert can change Not-Ready (one year conscription, and up until recently, before Team USA urging, 4-months)
whereas the troops of self-claimed and enthusiastic liberators essentially born ready, trained to be more ready, and is ready-ready
In the mean time we consider stuff, curation follows, to take in, consider, and to see misconceptions, from yeah- and neah-sayers
so far so good even as others baying for something
I think best to prepare new panda homes in zoos, and to expect China China China to reach nuclear-parity with Russia Russia Russia, and after that event, say 2030-ish, all should be good
Expect conniption on Capitol Hill and amongst suspect MSM
Expect folks in MENA and Western Europe to reach for musical chairs, and Eastern Europe / Scandinavia to feel a bit lost
Assuming actions over the next few months play out as agreed in expectation of 2024 March ROC election, and November USA election
Think Team Russia is perfectly safe to continue to count on Russia + China, because China absolutely needs Russia's help to achieve nuclear parity, resolve food and energy and resource issues, and the back to back / shoulder to shoulder as had during the past few years
Looking like Core Comrade Xi is receptive, at least for a few minutes, likely due to what CIA Bill Burns had to say a few weeks ago, and the immediate danger of PRC volunteers and material is not-on for the Polish border, and understanding reached for China nuclear-parity under Russian sponsorship, that once achieved, the three parties USA, Russia and China can sit down and have coffee, chocolate and tea, to hash things out as equals. The capitalists all around the planet can more safely concentrate on making arguably more predictable wagers.
Very bad for GetMoreGold but for the truth that other vectors on as before, that which we know as de-dollar-ization.
Between this Message 34325868 and that Message 34325891 , and think-back on why and how Team China w/ peasant army intervened against nuclear-armed ‘United Nations’ in Korea way back when, and
now ponder, think of Russia as a humongous and nuclear-armed N Korea, Nato as UN, and again as in once more, China as China, can count on an actually nuclear-armed / conventionally-able N Korea, what China shall do should ‘Nato’ actually engage in open warfare against Russia-proper ?
Losing Taiwan is one thing. Losing Europe is something else altogether.
Essentially Blinken got zip from China except forbearance, and now needs to, by action, deliver up Taiwan, as offering to help extend best-use date of the dollar, am told.
Dunno, agnostic, seems too fast, and always to go still to 2026 / 2032.
Wait n see; seems complicated.
Supposedly UK can deal with China uniting w/ Taiwan even if Taiwan makes a whole lot of chips.
Ostensibly UK cannot deal with Russia uniting with Europe, especially if with China’s help, France’s cooperation, and German support.
