This is the one to watch for. USA has much larger investment here than Eastern Europe or Middle East.

TAIPEI/BEIJING, May 23 (Reuters) - Taiwan's military mobilized its forces and said it was confident it could protect the island, after China started two days of "punishment" drills around Taiwan on Thursday in what it said was a response to "separatist acts".

The exercises, in the Taiwan Strait and around groups of Taiwan-controlled islands that sit next to the Chinese coast, come just three days after Lai Ching-te took office as Taiwan's new president, a man Beijing detests as a "separatist".

China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, has denounced Lai's inauguration speech on Monday, in which he called on China to stop its threats and on Tuesday Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called Lai "disgraceful".

Lai has repeatedly offered talks with China but been rebuffed. He says only Taiwan's people can decide their future, and rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims.

Taiwanese officials had said in the run-up to the inauguration they were keeping watch for Chinese military movements.
The drills focus on joint sea-air combat-readiness patrols, precision strikes on key targets, and integrated operations inside and outside the island chain to test the "joint real combat capabilities" of the forces, China's military said.

"This is also a strong punishment for the separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces and a stern warning against the interference and provocation by external forces," the command added.

Chinese state media published a map of the drills zones, in five areas all around Taiwan and the islands Taiwan controls near the Chinese coast.
There was no sign of alarm in Taiwan, where people are long used to Chinese military activity. The benchmark stock index (.TWII), opens new tab was down 0.3% on Thursday morning.

In August 2022, China launched live-fire military exercises around Taiwan immediately after a visit, much condemned by Beijing, by former U.S. House speaker Nancy Pelosi. That series of exercises, the scale of which was unprecedented, lasted for four days, followed by several days of additional drills.
 
When would be a good time for this to go down??? Maybe when a certain candidate loses an election and promotes political violence in the USA and a domestic shitstorm blows up. Toss in a series of serious cyber attacks as well…

Talk about the boy who cried wolf. I'm beginning to think you actually don't know when WW3 will start.




 
HA. Unless the ChiComs use nukes, they are going nowhere in regard to Taiwon. US PACFLT will crush them like no other. No land forces required.

.400 gets you in the hall of fame.
 
Probably a good idea to do this before the U.S. election happens.

Chinese leaders are not dummies (unlike our leaders)....

Can you stop with this WW3 shit?

Ever heard of "manifesting"?

To manifest something means to make your dreams, goals, and aspirations a reality by believing you can achieve them. The idea is that by believing you can do something and focusing your thoughts and energy in that direction, you can actually make it happen.


If we get into WW3 I'm blaming your ass. :)
 
My uncle as an officer was near the Yalu River when the Chinese came over the border. Nothing could stop them. Most had no ²weapons.
 
Not buying it. China would go into an economic depressions with the loss of foreign investment and their exports dropping. Likely they would face starvation and mass social unrest.

If china does invade a 500% tariff should be put on all their products.
 
Hell of a trojan horse here, encircle a nation and call it a drill, get the nation to fire first in defense, then invade

We live in a world where nations are trolls now

Why would they face mass starvation?
They trade goods to countries who ship them food.

The 700,000 Americans taking blood thinners made in China are going to have a hard time.

Economic destruction. Tends to lead to hungry people.

Be like Russia’s economy after they invaded Ukraine only a hell of a lot worse.

China won’t invade because of the economic impact it would have.
 
This younger generation is going to get us all killed.

They wanted to use US Troops and nukes in Ukraine and think any time somebody farts or does a drill WWIII is on us and we need to attack.

They make fun of the “greatest generation” while they act like they want to be called “the last generation”.
 
Op, they're prepping for the draft. WW3 on the way.

Just when you start to think this country is close to achieving true equality, you're reminded that the draft still applies only to men.

I expect we'll see women marching in the streets of most major cities any day now to address this injustice.
