Bet on it!
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 2012, to the 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 weak at the 70th anniversary of D-day.
Is there ever a time when Americans realize just how much of an embarrassment this is on a world stage? Does this kind of incompetence and weakness encourage our enemies to act the way they’ve been acting? Of course it does! pic.twitter.com/wxsTKWTtNM

If you are global bully, would you be fearful? There were no aggressive actions anywhere in the world from 2017 - 2020, why? Because the rest of the world did not know what Donald Trump would do. All they knew is he was capable of anything, and the globe was silent for while.
Will China attack Taiwan before the November election? Bet on it!
