US press suggests the next war after Afghanistan may be against China

5

The defeat of the United States in Afghanistan and the rapid seizure of almost the entire territory of this country by the Taliban (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) made an impression on the whole world, including Washington's allies. Many talk about the collapse of America's hegemony and its inability to influence the processes taking place in the world. But not everyone in the United States agrees with this, and some believe it is possible to start a new military conflict that could raise the prestige of the United States.

For example, the American military analyst Elbridge Colby wrote the book "The Strategy of Denial", in which he substantiates the necessity of the US struggle against China for Taiwan. The New Yorker drew attention to this work in the context of what happened in Afghanistan and beyond. policy The United States in relation to its partners.



Colby believes that Washington must prepare for a war with Beijing over a rebellious island, which only the United States can prevent an invasion from mainland China. The PRC has repeatedly hinted at the need to return Taiwan to the full jurisdiction of Beijing and is building up its armed forces at full speed. All this, according to the expert, makes the likelihood of Chinese aggression quite possible.

In this regard, the American edition emphasizes that while the involvement of the United States in the conflict in Afghanistan has come to an end, militancy towards China is growing.

We may soon be faced with declarations of the need for war again.

- notes The New Yorker.

    But what if China organizes an embargo on the delivery of goods to Taiwan, as the United States did with respect to Cuba?

    Exactly 60 years ago, in October 1960, the United States launched a blockade of Cuba and imposed a tough sanctions regime against the Castro regime. This longest embargo in world history is hitting hard on the Cuban economy and population of the Isle of Liberty.

    Analysts are analysts laughing
    Got a pendel from bearded students? There is no reason to be discouraged, after the Chinese pendel they will immediately forget about this, because if the Chinese drive with a damp cloth it is much more prestigious lol
    Life shows that somehow they are not very good at it. Maybe for a start they will practice in civil?

    All the same, the Americans are good. Wherever possible - crap, but China, damn it, fill up. And China will first restore its territorial integrity - it will return Taiwan to its native shores, and then you see, it will annex something from the States.

    During WW2, the Americans sent all their Japanese citizens to concentration camps.
    It's easy there, there are deserts. But what will the NATO allies do, will they print Hitler's concentration camps for their Chinese?

    The author of this thought, that - proposes to increase the territory of the PRC, at the expense of the overseas state? Or is he just ...? Has the United States won at least someone in its history? What kind of war?

    Such conversations are empty shaking of air. Everyone understands perfectly well that the Sshasovites will not win a local war with the PRC for Taiwan, and they will not dare to launch a nuclear strike against the PRC.
    Before starting a war, the Sshasovites put together an “international” coalition from their vassals. This is not yet visible.
    The Sshasovites can start a war not earlier than the completion of the formation and formation of the QUAD bloc, and this takes time, at least several years. The PRC, on the other hand, can capture Taiwan in a few days, and it will take another couple of months to catch possible “partisans”. I could have done it a year, or two, or three years ago, but I did it.
    What has changed today, so much that it is pushing the PRC to use force? Nothing fundamentally, except for the growth of provocations and the aggressive rhetoric of the Sshasovites. In aggregate, the military potential of the PRC is still much inferior to that of the Sshasov one. They want to be frightened, so Comrade Xi said very clearly that China does not want war, but is not afraid of war either.
    To restore the authority of the Sshasovites, a war is needed, but one where victory is guaranteed and without losses, such as the invasion of the island of Grenada. Taiwan is in no way suitable for this role.
