This seems to be inline with other documents and think tank pieces about war with China before 2030.

Not sure if it should be taken seriously or not, but China probably still won’t go for Taiwan in the short future. Eventually they’ll reunite, but I think the odds of that happening peacefully and without scrambling the PLAAF or their navy are becoming slimmer.

I think I remember hearing about some US general discussing air striking the TSMC plant in Taiwan to avoid letting it get in China’s hands. I’ll have to look for the article about that.

    If the first BRICS transaction without the dollar is completed before the end of 2025, there might be an opportunity to significantly reduce trade with the US dollar should the US go through with this plan.

    Either way, we know that the US will push its vassals allies into direct engagement with China rather than engaging directly itself. I see this war going the way of Ukraine.

      The US would have to get some true psychotics into Taiwanese leadership for them to agree to hosting nukes.
