    This isn’t really a secret in the US. Every who’s gotten out of the military recently that I’ve talked to from all different backgrounds all say the same thing, war with China is inevitable and the timeline has been moved up to 2027 from 2030. The US will not allow them to take Taiwan, too much at stake. Doubtful we’ll initiate.

      Last Taiwan election had US hawk oligarchist President elected, but Parliament majority was won by the sensible survivalist party. To help start a war, there is a proposal for McCarthyist military tribunal system where, like recent ROK martial law, “do you now, or have you ever, considered war to not provide a path to glorious happiness?” in order to jail anyone blocking war, and measures that would force China to intervene.
