They will do whatever they were going to do independent of whatever is happening in Israel or ukraine. Neither of those are going to determine the timing of what China does with taiwan.

Nah, more likely than not, they're getting ready to offer Iran some material support. Taiwan's coming back into China and there's nothing the western hegemony can do about it.
Nope. The founders never wanted it that way, but after the civil war, and moreso foreign with the Spanish American war (which could've been a false flag), (they) realized war was big business. Well, at least they became more entrenched in America, than just trying to get us from overseas with a central bank
Originally, they stipulated immigration only from white Europeans. It wasn't until the jews came over late 19th century they pushed diversity. It was the poet Emma Lazarus who added the 'give me your poor' etc to the statue of liberty.
If you read pamphlets on the Constitution which was the written stuff distributed to states to try to get them to ratify the new constitution at the time the Constitution had been written in Philadelphia to move us toward a more federal government from the loose confederation of states you'll see that to them it was so preposterous that people in the United States would ever allow muhammadin's which is what they called Muslims and others into the country that they didn't think it was necessary to specifically exclude them. No Jews signed the constitution. Only one Catholic sign at the constitution. The whole country was Protestant Christian people. Only landowners could vote. They didn't leave any loopholes what happened was the words got redefined about who was acceptable.
In one of George Washington's final speeches he said we have left you with a country full of people with common beliefs and how important it was to keep that. Their intention was clear.
China invading Taiwan would require the largest naval invasion the world has seen. Not to mention logistics and fighting in the terrain which is heavily favored toward defenders.
Oh, and the entire rest of the world is basically obligated to defend Taiwan because of the chip fabs.
China can bitch and whine and cry all they want. They're not getting Taiwan.
Yep. As someone said, it may happen naturally. China plays the long game, but I don't think they'd be that brash. I'm sure there's other goals of theirs they could accomplish at the moment. Kissinger was just over there
If the sanctions carry on for too long the Chinese will eventually catch up with chip manufacturing and lithography tooling and bite into TSMC and ASML monopolies. The West is likely to start a war before that happens though.
If the media was to be believed, there is zero reason Russia shouldn't press Ukraine, China on Taiwan and the Taliban, Iran and Hezbollah to move on Israel. It'd be over in one night and it would be up to the West to take it back.
But the media is not to be believed. It's all exaggerated kabuki theater.
I don't know, but wouldn't be surprised. I have to say, I'm more surprised by this israeli situation, than if China invaded Taiwan, which I at least saw on the horizon. This is why I think the israeli situation is completely fake n' gay.
