I honestly doubt that russia would be trusted to supply anything for the chinese military outside of raw materials.
Also, whats a high altitude parachute? is it just one that deploys higher up? Wouldint that make the troops and stuff easier to hit?
On top of that, if russia had all this…why couldnt they take Kyiv?
After watching Is Russia Already at War With NATO? I think it is more likely that trump is trying to goad NATO into responding more seriously to russia, and then once they do trump can condem the action and support russia against NATO.
Now russia can pull out of Ukraine without admitting defeat
Pretty sure China is happy with the current arrangement and doesn’t actually want to rock the boat that hard. The current arrangement does rely on constant pressure and the ability to take Taiwan at a moments notice though, should the situation change. So yeah this checks out to me.
If I were Xi I’d wait a little longer, let’s say some months, to see if the US starts a civil war. Then, without the US to back Taiwan, start talking with Taiwan to unify both parts of China with an agreement. No war, no deaths, no spending military equipment.
a civil war
If sending strongly worded letters and spewing out-of-touch comments while the other side cripples any form of opposition is considered belligerency then sure.
I didn’t say Democrats will start the war.
Trump isnt going to back taiwan, especially if russia is involved.
TSMC (a company that makes computer chips and the T stands for Taiwan) is still one of the most strategically important companies to the US. I doubt any of the oligarchs will want to see it go without a fight.
Ill just sit back first and hold my horses. I doubt China would piss in the hornets nest just yet.
I think it would first try to find a way to migitate risk of economic collapse.
Besides. Taiwan is an open supporter of israel. Which now that I say it out loud sounds exactly lile the “Iran threats” said as the reason both Israel and the US bombed Iran.

Without having looked into it, I’m pretty sure Taiwan supports whomever the US supports.
