The Israel-Gaza war is “taking away the focus” from the conflict in Ukraine, the country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has admitted.
He said this was “one of the goals” of Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
And he denied that fighting in Ukraine had reached a stalemate, despite a recent assessment to this effect by the country’s top military general.
Ukraine’s counter-offensive in the south has so far made little headway.
This has prompted fears of war fatigue among Kyiv’s Western allies, with suggestions of growing reluctance in some capitals to continue giving Ukraine advanced weapons and funds.
If you think this is bad, just wait until China goes for Taiwan. “Like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.”
China’s collapse is coming with the rise of other regional powers to counterbalance it. It’s right around the corner. Any day now.
I don’t know if China is going to collapse any time soon (at some point they will though). At risk of sounding like a conspiracy the world order is changing as America is no longer the sole leading power, trade and infrastructure development are heavily tied to China, and we are too reliant on their cheap goods to go against them.
China is not going to go for Taiwan.
Wish you guys would get this fantasy out of your heads.
My understanding is that they know it’s not worth it for them. But unfortunately the “glory “ of the “reunification “ makes it worth it for their leaders that want to be remembered for this.
Just like Russia never being stupid enough to invade Ukraine, right?
No. Ukraine is not nearly as strategically valuable to the US as Taiwan.
Try to focus on the subject at hand instead of resorting to analogies.
A lot of things in China are going downhill: trade, banks, real state. China isn’t just going for Taiwan, it’s projecting imperialism all around, even with India, another BRICS member. Taiwan is just the biggest mark. I wouldn’t cross off options for what imperialist despots will or will not do when they become increasingly desperate.
Imperialism? Get a grip.
