Just Another Pod Guy @TMTLongShort - The biggest cost of this campaign is the munitions that will be expended and potential depletion of stockpiles that will be needed to defend Taiwan.
Bridge Colby knows this. Hegseth knows this.
The reason this is being done anyways is because if successful you have now locked down Chinas major energy artery.
This in-turn further deters China from ever trying to take Taiwan.
And normally china knowing this would rush to support the current Iranian regime.
The reason they haven’t is because of tariffs.
Not the tarrifs on China. The transhipment clauses in the deals with every other country besides for China.
China knows if they overtly interfere they equip the Trump admin with sufficient evidence to get buy-in for an all out adversarial posture against China irrespective of the economic consequence.
When I said “economic blitzkrieg” a year ago this is what i meant.
The world is a complex machine and everything is intricately connected.
Some of you just aren’t curious enough to learn how and why. It’s not too late.
USMCA coming soon. Mexico will be tamed before then. Canada will be crushed. Cuba prob falls within months. Africa will heat up again. Europe will fragment.
Change is coming
