Numerous mainstream media outlets have reported that the US military is preparing for war on China, as soon as 2025. Japan is re-militarizing and collaborating closely in these war plans.

    Numerous policies in the past few years indicated that 2025 would be the deadline in which some kind of conflict with China would have to happened.

    According to multiple studies in the west, especially those from fucking Rand corporation, 2025 is the absolute latest where any potential war between the West and China would deal more damage to China than United States. After that point, Chinese economy, technological base, and military power would increase to the point where they would outgrow the US in any conditions, even a full scale war between two nations would not bring the US back to dominant position.

    Those studies were made as far back as 2015. It’s now 2023, and several things didn’t really went in their favor for the last few years, so you can understand why they’re a bit desperate at this point.

        I hope the US leadership isn’t so nuts to invade a nuclear superpower, but I’m not expecting it from the US

          Not long before the current shitshow in Ukraine began and pushed all other news back, USA had sent a submarine into Russian far east (this area). Their justification was not recognizing the area as Russian territorial waters past a 12 mile zone,and thus claiming it was neutral/Japanese waters.

          They might well try a provocation like this with China, sending a carrier group to Taiwan or those disputed isles and essentially daring China to make them leave.

            Right after that kangaroo court thing with the disputed islands in 2016, the US plan was to push their carrier groups straight into the disputed region and expected the PLAN to retreat and lose a tremendous amount of face.

            Those carriers very suddenly turned around and backed off, turns out they were already locked on by missiles on the mainland. They were this damn close to kicking off a conflict. Sooner or later these fuckers are going to start something that might take the whole world down with them.

            I’d agree, america will do the same thing to china what it did to russia, put them in a position where they are forced to react

              I’m skeptical that China would “take the bait” so to speak. China usually takes the high-road.
