Bet on it!

6/7/24:
China has been holding military drills surrounding Taiwan. The map below illustrates the close proximity of the drills around Taiwan. What is it about 'now' that makes this significant? Could it be an independence movement in Taiwan? Could it be a statement from the CCP that they will militarily respond to any independence movement in Taiwan? Could it be the lack of a deterrence force from the rest of the world? The UN? The USA? Does the fear of the US agreement to protect Taiwan against such a threat no longer exist? All of the above. From Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014, to the disastrous withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in 2021, to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, US weakness creates opportunity for evil and tyrannical leaders and governments to act. The rest of the world and the UN offer zero deterrence from rogue regimes. Only the US. But, when the US displays weakness, the bad guys act. That goes back to WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and other skirmishes. It continues now. Joe Biden and his weak administration provides an invitation for aggression. Look at these two clips of Joe Biden from this week at the 80th anniversary of D-day. If you are a global bully, would you be fearful? LOL!  But, it is no laughing matter. There were no aggressive actions from rogue regimes  (including Islamic terrorists) anywhere in the world from 2017 - 2020, why? Because he pursued ISIS and destroyed their ability to wage war, halted Iranian aggression and the rest of the world did not know what Donald Trump would do if they acted badly. All they knew was that he was capable of anything, and the globe was silent for while. Will China take advantage of US weakness and attack Taiwan before the November election? Bet on it!
