So if WWIII is likely to start October, and the Greater Depression (?) is shortly before, "very soon" is probably within three months!thomasglee wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 3:23 pmI'm in full agreement (and also preparing).Navigator wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 3:16 pmI would say within no more than 1.5 years.

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
The problem with this is that the Chinese tend to be risk averse, more so than Russia. Trying to take Taiwan would be very difficult since China does not have the troop lift to move soldiers. Much would have to be done by civilian shipping which is hideously vulnerable to any kind of weapon and Taiwan has a lot of anti-ship missiles. Capturing a port would be necessary to support any sizable invasion and those would be under constant artillery attack if not destroyed deliberately. A failed invasion would be much more damaging to the CCP than not launching one. Destroying the entire island and killing all the people would also not be a win.Cool Breeze wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 4:14 pmOk, thanks for the update.Navigator wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 3:16 pmI would say within no more than 1.5 years.

While it's important to look at desires and intentions, it's also important to look at capabilities and it seems people here keep skipping that part.

** 27-Jun-2022 World View: Rationality
Leaders today are insane, not rational. If leaders in a generational
Crisis era were rational and logical, then the Confederacy would not
have attacked Fort Sumter, and Japan would not have bombed Pearl
Harbor.
As I've said in the past, this kind of reasoning is way too logical.Xeraphim1 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 4:26 pm> The problem with this is that the Chinese tend to be risk averse,

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
Both the slave South and Japan saw themselves facing existential crises. The South was falling further and further behind in economic terms while the free population and states was growing. It was becoming more and more unlikely that additional slave states would be added so each additional year would see the South's weakness increase. Japan was facing the same situation due to US sanctions with the loss of steel scrap and oil imports. Japan could not continue its war in China without replacements. Even if they were unlikely to succeed, the future looked worse.John wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 5:29 pm

I don't see China as being in the same situation. There are no essential resources in Taiwan other than high tech companies who do a lot of their production in China already. Destroying those would not bring any benefit to China while facing the same kind of sanctions now applied to Russia would lead to ruination. Russia can survive, kind of. China is already facing unrest since the CCP is not able to fulfill its part of the social contract by providing increasing living standards. War would not fix that and there is no sign that martial adventures would give the CCP the boost it might need. Especially if it can't guarantee that it would win. Waiting 5-10 years could make a difference though. Maybe.
Yes, the CCP leadership may not be sane, but it also isn't stupid and it tends to engage in incrementalism. But I admit I could be wrong.

Why does everyone think China has to invade and bomb Taiwan to take it? All they have to do is blockade Taiwan.
