US takes a confident step towards war with China

October 23 2021 10

On October 22, during a conversation with voters, US President Joe Biden announced that the United States was ready to defend Taiwan in the event of military intervention by the PRC.

Yes. We have a commitment to do so

- this was the answer of the American leader to a journalist's question about whether the United States is ready to support Taiwan.

He also noted that despite this, the United States does not want a confrontation with China.

I have spoken to Xi Jinping more times than to any other world leader. You may hear: "Biden wants to start a new Cold War with China." I don't want a cold war with China

- emphasized Biden.

At the same time, he immediately noticed that the military power of the United States is still undeniable.

China, Russia and the rest of the world know that we have the most powerful armed forces in world history. Don't worry about them being able to surpass us. One thing to worry about is that they might take action that will prompt them to make serious mistakes.

- Biden summed up.

Translating from diplomatic to Russian, through the mouth of its president, the United States openly declares to the world that they want at least a cold war with China. Moreover, they are also actively "flexing their muscles", again saying that their army is the strongest in the world.

States are preparing for war

In terms of international law, Taiwan is an integral part of China. So, the US statements about interfering in the war on the side of the self-proclaimed island state are, first of all, a violation of the norms and rules of the UN. Legally, this will be classified as a direct military intervention violating the territorial integrity of the People's Republic of China. Of course, the American establishment, whose opinion is expressed by Biden, cannot fail to understand this. As well as the fact that this statement paves the way for the most serious military escalation since the end of the Cold War. After all, both countries, the United States and China, are nuclear powers, and the conflict that the American side wants to provoke may well develop into something more than local clashes. Formally, this could be the reason for the start of a full-scale US-China war.

And it cannot be said that the Americans did not prepare for this. Just as NATO was created seventy-two years ago, today the United States is forming a new military bloc, AUKUS, designed to strengthen its position in the Asia-Pacific region. Within the framework of the new block, it is already planned to build and deploy an entire fleet of nuclear submarines in Australia, and this, obviously, is only the beginning. At the same time, by a strange coincidence, right now, the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, created under the auspices of the United States, for some reason sharply began to strive for expansion, trying to include in its composition, among other things, the South Korean, Japanese and Indian intelligence services. And this is not to mention the Quadripartite Security Dialogue (QUAD), which began work at the level of leaders of states this September. Within its framework, the United States, Australia, India and Japan were united.

With the militarypolitical point of view, all these actions can be regarded quite unambiguously. The United States wants to build up its forces in the Asia-Pacific region as quickly as possible. It doesn't matter how chaotic it looks, how many duplicate blocks you have to create and conclude alliances. The key factor is building a "ring of power" around China's borders as quickly as possible. And what is this if not evidence of preparation for war?

"China question"

It is clear that in trying to escalate the conflict, the United States strives first of all to weaken China. The opening of a theater of military operations on the territory of Taiwan, which was so clearly peddled by Washington, is beneficial primarily to the United States, which is actively looking for ways to somehow influence the accelerated economic the development of China, the pace of which is almost three times higher than the American one. But China's GDP at purchasing power parity, according to the International Monetary Fund for 2020, is already almost sixteen percent higher than the American one. And this is even taking into account the monstrously disproportionate role that the dollar plays in the world economy.

The Taiwan conflict will be an ideal pretext for the United States to launch a campaign to impose politically motivated sanctions and create a negative information background against the PRC. Money, as you know, loves silence, and the destabilization of the situation around China will undoubtedly affect the volume of investments in its economy and the desire of transnational corporations to develop business in China. And the demonization of China as a force from the East, "threatening" the West, undoubtedly has every chance to become the basis of new American propaganda, broadcast to vassals and allies.

It all reminds me of something, doesn't it? The toolkit of American foreign policy in the thirty years that have passed since the end of the Cold War does not seem to have changed much. On this score, there is a good, by the way, English proverb: "you can not teach an old dog new tricks." The US political establishment has undergone virtually no major changes in recent decades. Not in the way of thinking, not in relation to other countries, not in the methods used. The euphoria from the collapse of the USSR and the collapse of the eastern bloc only convinced the American "deep state" of its own exclusivity and leading world role as a "beacon of freedom and democracy." So is it any wonder that, faced with the fact that other world powers are beginning to challenge the self-proclaimed US right to world domination, American politicians are actively trying to prevent them?

The real "Empire of Evil"

One thing is certain: the US really wants at least a cold war with China. Otherwise, they would not have made so many attempts to weaken it in recent years. And the fact that all these attempts were unsuccessful puts the States in front of a very unpleasant circumstance for them: the concept of a unipolar world ceases to exist not in the medium or long term, but right now. And realizing that under the current “rules of the game” it will not be possible to stop the growth of China's economic and foreign policy influence, the United States is trying to bring a new element to the world geopolitical arena: the factor of the military conflict in Taiwan. With the help of it, the American establishment at least expects to impose sanctions on China and hang the false label of "a threat to the free world."

After all, the "Washington regional committee", as a matter of fact, does not really care who it is: Russia, China or someone else. Any global power that begins to successfully compete with the geopolitical positions of the United States immediately becomes a target for American criticism. So, in the case of the Taiwan situation, the question remains open, will American politicians soon remember the term "Evil Empire", which at one time characterized the USSR? And how soon will the world realize that it is actually quite applicable, but only in the opposite direction?

The United States has played too much in world domination and, seeing that it is yielding leadership, does not want to leave quietly, but to turn the whole board over, unleashing another military conflict. A conflict in which, of course, there will be victims. A conflict that will change the lives of millions and it is good if it does not lead to a nuclear war. And now the question is: if, knowing all this, the United States continues to bend its line and strive for escalation, then who is the real "Evil Empire"?

The escalation of tension is not the war itself.
I think that this escalation now, in itself, serves the immediate benefits of the Americans.
There are probably a lot of them.
So far it occurs to me that "lies on the surface."
With this, the United States is trying to scare us with the consequences of an alliance with China, which they are terrified of. Scare the imminent need to participate in the war with the United States for Chinese interests.
In fact, the question is not at all that we will have to fight together with China, shoulder to shoulder, on the fronts of a world nuclear war.
It is about preventing Washington from even thinking about changing the "status quo", let alone attacking one of the two powers. Fight off their appetite at the very beginning.
As a result - to preserve global peace on the planet.

On the territory of China, there are assets (production) of American concerns and firms for many trillions of dollars, which deduct the minimum amount from profits to the American budget. Add to this the production of all other foreign assets in China. This means that there is a huge flow of technologies to China, which are smoothly adopted by China. China creates its own production on this basis. The United States has no way out, it just needs to create conditions for a panicky flight from China. They are now escalating a threat that could slow down new production locations in China and the smooth relocation of production to other countries. But the United States needs to return its assets to the United States, which is why a war is needed. The war will affect the entire region, the global crisis, where to move your assets in such a situation? Back home, of course, to the safe United States. But foreign and American private assets do not want to leave China! China is a huge growing market. In the future, it will be able to replace the American one. Therefore, we need to help them choose the right solution by starting a war.
AUKUS consists only of "local" Australia - local countries understand what they face in case of war in the region. Nothing good. Having unleashed a war in the region, the United States will also weaken Japan, South Korea, the same Taiwan will cease to exist as a competitor and all others. As a result, the United States will remain untouched again, as in the Second World War. We must not forget North Korea, which also exists and is not weak such a threat. South Korea is already leaving the anti-Chinese union. Japan? Such a vulnerable, small island against the backdrop of hypersonic missiles and just a mass of cruise missiles ... in their place it is better to stand aside. And finally, Taiwan itself, they also must understand that they are simply someone else's bullet, which is destined to fly to pieces. Let's hope that everyone there will weigh between: becoming a victim to save the consuming United States and the fear of turning China into a superpower of unprecedented scales (which, of course, is also another option ...). In any case, the war can no longer be avoided, the United States cannot exist this way, because are bent thoroughly and there is very little time left.
(by the way, all these years China has been trying to quietly build up its muscles in order to delay the moment of the denouement as far as possible. China did not boast about anything (weapons), did not threaten anyone, and now, suddenly, having taken out of the bosom, it launches two hypersonic ones around the globe. ... and builds hundreds of ICBM mines.)

  I will continue your thought.
  That is, to start a war with the largest nuclear power, which has every chance of developing into a world nuclear one.

Continue.
In order to take turns cracking down on China and Russia, it is important for the Americans to prevent an alliance between them. This alliance, if it takes place, will have far-reaching prospects.
The choice of Russia as a “first course” is unambiguously pushing it into the arms of China.
If the United States chooses China as its "first course", then it has a chance to interest us in a deal: breaking off relations with China in exchange for returning Ukraine to us.
It is very likely that such a deal has already been proposed to us.
I wrote in the comments earlier that she is “deferred suicide” for us.
The stirring up of tension by the Americans around China can be seen as a desire to "devalue" China for us and induce this deal.

The Cold War between the United States and China? Don't tell grandpa! The Yankees, starting with Nixon, have poured so much investment into the economy of the PRC that any major conflict will bring down the finances of the United States in the first place. For the printing press, this is just suicide. Playing on the public all this. Nothing more.

Most likely, we see a "surprise" situation between the United States and China.
Surlyas is a term from track cycling. After the signal for the start of the race, no one wants to go first. The task is to take a place behind the leader in order to spend the main part of the races behind him, in the rarefied air zone, thereby reducing the load for yourself. All stand, lifting their legs off the surface of the track, and keep their balance without moving from their place. Whoever goes first will not finish first. At the 1964 Olympics. in Tokyo in the semifinal race, the racers performed a surprise for 22 minutes!
Now, for the United States, China's capture of Taiwan — the faster the better. Until a large-scale collapse of the economies began. When the markets collapse, the situation in the United States will become uncontrollable, they will have no time for war. China in this case, too, will not seem a little, but there is almost centralized control of the country, so they will hold out for a while. And then, despite the depression, they can somehow manage the situation.
Taiwan China will have to take unambiguously. Xi understands that a collapse is inevitable. And he needs something to motivate the drop in the standard of living of the people who are already accustomed to living well, because you quickly get used to good things.
And Xi has elections at the end of next year. If he takes Taiwan, he can explain the decline in living standards by the machinations of the United States, avenging Taiwan. 100% - a ride. The whole world believes that the deterioration of the global economy is due to a "spontaneous" pandemic. For the return of Taiwan, the Xi people will forgive everything and choose again. It also involves processor technologies that China does not have, but Taiwan does.
And Xi has a window of opportunity: from the beginning of the crisis in the United States (and preferably on Christmas or Thanksgiving) to the end of spring (the maximum is the beginning of summer).
And the US crisis will have to be launched. Moreover, in manual mode. Because they have been holding it in manual mode since 2009. Otherwise, everything would have collapsed long ago.
And further the Fed and the United States will not allow other powers to hold. Because only the United States gets benefits from restraint measures (at least some), and the rest have inflation promoted by the United States.
The head of the FRS is still 16.08.2021/XNUMX/XNUMX. announced that by the end of the year it will be necessary to stop supporting the stock market (trillion injections), and unrestrained emission. And in this case, the exchanges will collapse immediately and a depression will begin.
Moreover, the seizure of Taiwan was probably coordinated with the United States, Russia, and India. Everyone wants to get the most out of the situation.
As in the case of the Crimea. There was no military action against Russia, but they drank blood. Now it's China's turn. And you have to take offense at Russia, Crimea was not recognized as Russian! For any step of support (and even neutrality) Russia will get the most out of China. At least in the form of technology and preferential supplies of what you need. Here we can only guess.

  And, yes, no one will attack China. Just as they did not attack Russia in 2014.
  Now they are trying to provoke an early seizure of Taiwan. And if they succeed, they will block the Strait of Malacca and, accordingly, China's exports to Europe (selectively). Exports to the United States will not be blocked.

In order to fight China, the Americans would first have to take over Russia. Do not take it from the sea. We need a land border. (The Pentagon calculated everything long ago.)
