Perhaps China does get that they're an ally of the US. |

This is why it is so vital that the US and our allies continue to show solid support for Ukraine. China is a vulture ready to attack in Asia. They are watching to see if the support for Ukraine wanes. When, or if, it does look out the various countries in Asia. |

Ukraine and Israel are all the same war. Iran, Hamas, and Russia are all active participates against Israel in the Middle East. And North Korea, Iran and Russia all against Ukraine. The two wars serve to deplete the weapons and ammo stores and show Western weakness in resolve and in supplies. Ukraine has already had to reduce operations due to a shortage of artillery shells. I think if the war goes poorly for Russia, China will liberate the oppressed ethnic Chinese in Siberia. If it goes poorly for Ukraine / Israel, China may turn the the PI or even unleash North Korea on South Korea. Mike Bunkermeister Creek |

vital that the US and our allies continue to show solid support for Ukraine. That has been said many times and I agree. The first failure was the US leadership slow walking assets to the Ukraine. In fear of Putin and the US didn't want Ukraine to win, just push for a brokered peace. |

Russ, IMO China is not ready for a military confrontation with the US and it's rearming allies over Taiwan. The current POTUS is the first to actually say we will defend Taiwan. I doubt that gets much coverage on the right. Not yet, China – An inexperienced military whose generals were all politically appointed by Xi, who has zero military experience himself. An army spending up to 40% of its training on political indoctrination. No combat experience. A huge nearly indefensible oil supply line across the Indian Ocean. It's main ally has been beating its army into the ground in Ukraine. A population with a demographic hole it in for military and factory age population caused by the one child rule. Xi ‘s navy is untested, no experience in large scale amphibious ops and not yet enough ships to get an army to Taiwan. The carrier force is much smaller than the US, and brand new to these ops. Not that the day is not coming. Der Tag as the Germans said about Jutland. |

Yes the PRC/CCP is not ready to go to war. For the reasons
tort posted. We know never to underestimate your enemy … We should be vigilant as always. But unlike Pearl Harbor. Our orbital intel assets, etc. will see any moves the PRC/CCP makes. |

Yes, Kido Butai could not sneak across the Pacific today! |

Hell, they could just fly to Mexico and walk across the Southern border. Thousands from the PRC/CCP have done it already. Guess they are just looking for work ? |
