Re: WW3 Europe front. UPDATE page 532 -February 2024, the decisive month
Thinking like a strategist, I believe that China will send a preemptive strike in the next 4 to 6 hours, but not a military one, but a massive economic attack.

It is the art of war, to win without fighting.

Keeping the enemy extremely busy with a market collapsing at 20% per hour. I think that of the possible developments, this would be the least worst.

But it's just a guess, I don't know anything, I'm just tense here, as we all are.

Re: WW3 Europe front. UPDATE page 532 -February 2024, the decisive month
At the very least I expect the US to stage this visit (if by some miracle they don't change mind on the last minute), even if it is to let China intercept the plane and then proceed to turn it back - i.e they won't dare China to shoot the plane.

If that happens the US's reaction will be mostly economic/financial (disconnect China from SWIFT, etc.)

Again, that's the bare minimum that I believe it can come from this event, assuming again that Pelosi won't change mind in the last minute, which would turn this whole thing into a giant nothinburger... as usual with such things... but still a possibility.

The more ominous consequences will happen if the plane doesn't turn around, daring China to do something. I seriously doubt Pelosi has the stomach for this kind of chicken game lol. China can actually shoot the plane, it's not impossible, although not the most likely hipotesis, so the consequences will happen after the visit (or immediately after her arrival, while she still is there). And this will almost certainly entail Taiwan's invasion, ending once and for all this whole legacy crap from the end of WWII.

And if the US intervenes, THEN it's kinetic WW3 for sure. Given all the public screaming by China over this issue, I simply don't see any other possible outcome. China didn't leave any room for maneuver on this issue. Either the US pull back or not and then we will see.

From the above:

Below is an excerpt from an insightful post titled Red Clouds of War Looming Over Taiwan by a Westerner who is a Taiwan-based researcher...

Scenario 1: The minimalist approach. The PLA occupies Jinmen or Matsu islands, as well as Taiwan’s islands in the South China Sea, and maybe even the Penghu Islands. They also declare part or all of the Taiwan Strait a “no go” zone to foreign military shipping. This would probably be fairly easy for the PLA, and Taiwan would probably not want to overcommit to naval action against the huge PLA Navy (PLAN) if it didn’t directly approach the main island.

Scenario 2: Hybrid warfare. Some sort of partial naval and aerial blockade of Taiwan intended to interfere with the economy, combined with stepped-up harassment, such as direct flyovers of Taiwan’s territory by PLA Air Force (PLAAF) jets, or incursions into Taiwan’s maritime space by China’s naval militia, protected by PLAN warships. This might also be accompanied by cyberattacks designed to shut down the internet and other infrastructure for days at a time. Taiwan would have no choice to assert a stiff defensive posture, resulting in real engagements between Taiwanese and Chinese forces, posing a serious risk of escalation.

Scenario 3: A serious attack but no invasion. This would involve air and sea warfare only, no boots on the ground. A full aerial and naval blockade, a protracted set of naval and aerial battles designed to degrade Taiwan’s military, combined with ballistic missile attacks on military targets. Aggressive cyberattacks turning off the internet and shutting down critical infrastructure for days or weeks. Once air and naval superiority were established, China could pick off targets at will, ratcheting up the threat until the government breaks.



Scenario 4: The Full Monty – a proper invasion. Total air and sea blockade, massive ballistic missile attacks on military targets, massive cyberattacks to paralyze virtually all military, governmental, and civilian communication and shut down critical infrastructure. Aggressive naval and aerial engagements to degrade Taiwan’s forces and achieve battlespace superiority, followed by sustained aerial assaults by fighters and bombers on military targets. A decapitation strike at Taipei by special forces units to try to seize key leadership personnel. Well-coordinated insider treason and sabotage actions by gangsters, planted CCP agents, and other groups sympathetic to China – the so-called “5th column”. An amphibious assault with close air support from fighters, helicopters, and battle drones at one or more locations in Taiwan, and very possibly a move to seize a major port, such as Keelung, Taipei Port, Taichung, or Kaohsiung. Then hundreds of thousands of troops would start rolling in until the island was occupied. That would be the plan, anyway. PLA success in such an endeavor is very unclear. But they could do a hell of a lot of damage trying. And yes, they might actually succeed, at least partially, such as in seizing and holding the region around Taipei.

Scenario 5: Worst Case (short of nuclear) scenario. Full air and sea blockade, massive ballistic missile attacks on military targets, massive cyberattack, aggressive naval and aerial attacks to degrade Taiwan’s forces and achieve battlefield superiority, followed by aerial assaults by fighters and bomber on military targets and area bombing of civilian targets. There are massive casualties, and Taiwan is crushed by brute force, surrenders, and then the occupiers enter the country and take it over.

From the above:

China: "We will bury you"

Not long ago, the Eastern Zone Combat Command of the People's Liberation Army of China released a video calling on patriots to "bury all enemies who attempt to invade."

"To be in a state of full combat readiness, to follow orders, to bury all invading (on the territory of the DRC) enemies," the video says.

At the same time, there is a large movement of Chinese forces in the Taiwan Strait.

The naval command in Qinglan, South China's Hainan, has issued a NAVTEX for a new live-fire aviation exercise in the South China Sea, southwest of Hong Kong, effective from August 2 to 6.

From 00:00 on August 2 to 24:00 on August 6, transit is prohibited in areas of the South China Sea. See the map below for the area.

When China publicly stresses to the Chinese population about red lines and videos like these are shown, it is clear that Xi Jinping cannot and will not back down.

The US is only relying on the fact that the Chinese are not crazy and that they are bluffing. However, China's leadership has repeatedly warned that it will exercise all its rights under international law. We remind you that Taiwan is an internationally recognized territory of China.
----------------

The US is totally blind, it's leadership intoxicated by hubris and arrogance, will provoke a ginormous black-swan event.

Official: Pelosi is going to Taiwan! – Patriotic chants in China: “Prepare for conflict”- Two aircraft carriers and two amphibious battle groups rush in

The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, is headed to Taiwan! This was announced a while ago by senior officials of the USA and Taiwan and now the worst is ahead for the Indo-Pacific region.

Whether or not Pelosi manages to land in Taiwan, the region is entering a period of war as China accelerates preparations for reunification with Taiwan using military means.

The US is dramatically building up its forces in the region as the US aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan approaches eastern Taiwan. The US aircraft carrier will be reinforced by two more amphibious battle groups with USS Tripoli and USS America carrying F-35B Lightning II fighters.

At the same time, the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Essex are in the Hawaii area ready to assist if needed.

In total the US Navy has two carrier groups and two to three amphibious assault groups in the region, as well as other reinforcements in Japan, Hawaii and Guam.

---------------

This is it. The US will try to bully the Chinese. This is a head-on confrontation on the making.

Pelosi's arrival is expected today around 9PM~11PM, Taiwan Time (which is GMT+8h).


Brace for Impact!....

It is a little sad to see comments on GLP, on this thread or others, that China will either do nothing, will do some cyber attack or some economic form of reprisals.



I tried so many times, and repeated many more times that what is happening in the world is the clash of TWO SYSTEMS, and one of those systems will FOREVER be buried in the history books.



Russia invasion was NOT about Ukraine, and their answer to the U.S. expansion towards Russia was PRIMARILY a MILITARY answer, the cyber and economic were just addendums.



China's answer to U.S. expansion in the Pacific WILL BE PRIMARILY a MILITARY answer.



Russia prepared for this conflict at least 10 years ago, and China was taken on board, as an ally.



The TARGET of this conflict is THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and the GOAL is to DESTROY or at least WEAKEN the U.S. military and economy to a REGIONAL LEVEL strength.



This CANNOT, I repeat, CANNOT be achieved in any other way BUT WAR.



I do not know for the life of me what China will do if Pelosi goes to Taiwan, and I strongly say IF she goes to Taiwan, because regardless of my personal conviction (based on serious reasons, not imagination) I am not a seer.




But if I look at the state of the U.S. and West in general, but the U.S. especially, I see an empire that have but ONE SINGLE CHANCE to prolong their demise : WIN WORLD WAR 3.



However, in order to win WW3, you have to start it.



China is in DIRE NEEDS to expand it's power which is confined to an area that is too small for them, and their only way UP is replacing the U.S. as world superpower, or at least become the sole superpower in Asia-Pacific.


This, again, cannot be achieved without winning a war against the U.S. and allies in the area....which again, IS WORLD WAR 3.




Make no mistake. I don't think China will shot down Pelosi's plane, but I know that they will TRY to stop it, and since there will be U.S. jets escort it, the chances for an incident are HIGH.



Xi is DONE if China does not respond MILITARILY.




China fought against both the U.S. (Korean war) and U.S.S.R (border war), the nuclear superpowers of the world, when China was neither a nuclear power nor a powerful conventional military.



Now they are BOTH nuclear power and strong conventional military force, the BIGGEST economy on the planet, by far the MOST MASSIVE manufacturing power on the planet, and their ally is FUCKING RUSSIA, who already engaged the U.S. in Ukraine, with huge success.



Any way I am trying to look at this except world war, is not supported by facts.




Did the U.S. have 2 aircraft carrier strike groups and 3 amphibious landing groups around Taiwan for nothing? If China would blink, the U.S. wouldn't send shit in the area.


The U.S. believes that China will respond militarily, the U.S. believes that they have enough firepower in the area to win a limited, strong and fast conflict, and the U.S. believes that their victory would be enough to scare Russia off Ukraine and put China back in it's place, at least for another decade.




Obviously, I believe that the U.S. is wrong, and the same way they didn't know SHIT about Russia and Russia people, they don't know SHIT about China and the Chinese people.



And the trap that Russia and China set up for the U.S. a LONG time ago is about to SNAP CLOSE. The U.S. is at the WEAKEST point in time, the West also, while both Russia and China are on the rise.



One side will lose. One system will lose.



But not with cyber attacks or economic sanctions or other CRAP like this.



It will be WW3, and the side that loses will be a loser for centuries.

Re: WW3 Europe front. UPDATE page 532 -February 2024, the decisive month
Two bits of news are relevant to what is coming.



First, is the announcing of military drills in 6 areas all around Taiwan, starting on 4th through 7th of August.


Secondly, we have seen the military build-up in Fujian during the day today, but now, the Chinese people have been asked not to post any other military moves of PLA.



Now, I can bet solid money that starting tonight, there will be a shit ton of PLA military mobilization for a BLOCKADE of Taiwan.



I know most Americans, who hate the democrats, wanted to see Pelosi's plane go down in flames. They should have know better that the chances of this happening were slim to none.


Other people are claiming that China is no bite, only bark, because Pelosi's plane didn't got shot down. Those people are complete idiots, and can't see further then 5 seconds away.



This situation had entered a path that will end up with a direct conflict between the U.S. and China, and I have said that this COULD take place today, but I have also said that I have no idea what China will do, but what they will do will be a military response.




As of now, it seems that China chose to do a blockade of Taiwan, that will start pretty damn soon. Those "exercises" around Taiwan, from 4th to 7th August will not end on August 7th.



They will continue, and continue, and in the mean time, both China and the U.S. will prepare for war. Taiwan is surely prepared to fight hard against an INVASION, but against a BLOCKADE, they are pretty much unable to do shit for change.



China's blockade will not start with a complete cut-off of Taiwan, but it will evolve to that point. When that point will be reached, the U.S. will have to intervene, otherwise Taiwan will collapse and China will simply walk in, with minimal losses, and take it over.



Think of Russia's build-up around Ukraine, just much shorter in time, and much more devastating for Taiwan, because it will be a blockade.



The advantage of a blockade is clear for China : Xi remains in power (a blockade is an act of war, except China and the Chinese won't see it like this, because Taiwan is not an independent country, gives Xi saving face in preparation for war with the U.S.), the people of China will see that their leaders and army are serious about Taiwan and protecting China against U.S., and part of the Taiwanese people will absolutely rise up against the government, while others against the Chinese.



This is not a game or a movie.



The signs are clear : there is going to be a blockade, and it will last until the U.S. intervenes or Taiwan caves.



And since the U.S. didn't do anything DIRECTLY in Ukraine, but sending some crap weapons, in case of Taiwan they really can't do shit, except DIRECT intervention, which they are too weak to do it.



China needed Pelosi visit like air. It is perfect for them. The same way Russia convinced their own people (and their own people's opinion is what matters for Russia) to support the special military operation, China will convince their own people (which is the only opinion they give a shit about) to line up behind the party and support the blockade.




It is going to get really hot in and around Taiwan. It is already going hot, with massive PLA deployments in the area.

I'll say this again.

8/8 is an auspicious pair of numbers to begin something for the Chinese.

How short
 Quoting: ParamedicUK

Days.
 Quoting: Recollector


This short sequence of comments took place on February 21st, page 402 of the thread.
Russia invaded 3 days later.

I hope that all of you listened and have 1 year preps since, and if not, make EVERYTHING in your power to prep as good as humanly possible.

I have told you that at some point in time, China will make their move, when they will be ready.
I believe that China is ready, and will make their move.

I DO NOW KNOW what they will do, but it will be a military move that will bring China, the U.S. and Taiwan armed forces into an armed conflict that COULD, and highly likely WILL escalate.

I still have hopes that the U.S. will back down, but just like in the case of Ukraine, my hopes are dimming very fast.
Get ready guys.

It is about to get REAL.
 Quoting: Recollector


Crazy Aunt Nan has placed us in a position where we are screwed.

US won't back down for concern of looking weak. Also, the democraps have some idea that if shooting starts, the American people will rally around the President. They are clueless. There will be no rally around. It will just make the people in the US even more pissed off at the "leadership" than we already are.

China will respond because they do not want to be known for empty threats.

Please caption this picture..."poking the bear"
(I made this for an earlier caption contest months back
but...seems like it is very "current" with what's going
on with "Aunt Nan!"


Here is another bear pic...NOT "poking" him...but
messing with his fishing spot...BAD IDEA.

There are many ways to "POKE THE BEAR"...having multiple
bioweapons-labs on the BORDER OF YOUR BEAR CAVE is one
of them not mentioned.
I feel I am living as an Austrian
in PRE-WWII GERMANY. (If you know your WWII history--you
can just imagine how that would feel. Imagine the VanTrapp
family climbing through the mountains to escape...that's
a visual.)

I think Recollector is full of crap. It's August and WWIII hasn't started. The sky isn't falling. Doom off.

I don't know what is your definition of WW3, but it is already started, the only thing that is missing is a direct clash between superpowers.


Don't you SEE that this is where we are heading?



Have you missed the part of my thread where I explained, in simple words, that individuals perceive TIME different then societies do?



Do not hope for me to be right, hope that I am wrong. I hope that I am wrong.



But I am full of crap because the most devastating event in our lives didn't started...YET?

Thinking like a strategist, I believe that China will send a preemptive strike in the next 4 to 6 hours, but not a military one, but a massive economic attack.

It is the art of war, to win without fighting.

Keeping the enemy extremely busy with a market collapsing at 20% per hour. I think that of the possible developments, this would be the least worst.

But it's just a guess, I don't know anything, I'm just tense here, as we all are.

Nope china's entire response to this is to hold military exercises. They literally announced it themselves. If nothing has happened yet nothing is going to happen. Pelosi called their bluff. I'll bet everything I own on that.
