Last week, China toughened its language against Taiwan, warning that “independence means war.” A few days prior, the Taiwanese Defense Ministry reported 15 aircraft from the Chinese air force inside its air defense identification zone.
Given China’s behavior, particularly over the past year, the allies could be preparing for the possibility of Chinese military action against Taiwan. Although some argue that that is unlikely anytime soon, what about a decade from now? The United States should prepare for that possibility, no matter how improbable it may be at any one moment. Should China attack Taiwan, Japan will likely find itself asked to support a U.S. operation in some capacity. China may also target U.S. forces in Japan — and possibly even Japan itself. Is the alliance ready to prosecute a wartime operation, including the defense of Japan?
Because hostilities with China would likely mean attacks on Japan, the allies may need to ensure that their defenses and strike capabilities are robust. In addition to reviewing how they can further strengthen their air and missile defenses, particularly after Japan cancelled its planned purchase of the Aegis Ashore ballistic missile defense system, the allies might need to examine how effective their passive defenses are (i.e. hardened fuel lines or depots; hardened aircraft shelters; decoys) that enable them to remain in the fight for an extended duration. If the Aegis Ashore defensive system proved too difficult for Japan to field, it is safe to assume that it will be even harder for it to field its own offensive ground-based intermediate-range missiles anytime soon. As such, the allies could discuss Japan’s willingness to host U.S. systems on existing bases. Or, assuming even that may be difficult, at the very least they could prepare and exercise for the United States to rapidly deploy such systems to Japan during a conflict. Even in the absence of these systems, because the allies have advanced sea-based and air-based missiles, they could review their data-sharing capabilities and reexamine their joint targeting cycles in light of China’s rapid military modernization and reorganization in recent years. In any war that will likely involve cyber, space, and electromagnetic domains, the allies may also need to make sure their networks, sensors, and platforms are hardened to thwart Chinese attacks targeting their command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance nodes. All of these efforts will take time.
So if Military is on Biden's side, why would Japan & USA be coming together to block China's will? Biden is turning USA into a China Mini-Me IMO through censoring Conservatives, doing all that is not in American's best interest thus far, IMO! Meaning, could the possibility exist that Military is in control, and is dealing with China knowing if a reversal for saving the Republic IS in the works, China is a clear and present danger seeing their timely sent Virus before Elections, even their interference as has been reputed? Informed Military about ALL known corruption of how Biden came to be in power and not wanting to risk CCP sending another virus, could this be the impediment to why no arrests made yet? Plenty arrests are happening around the Globe but haven't made it here yet with our big players that played a dirty game, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteOr, is it wishful thinking the Calvary will take shown evidence of a Republic in peril, run with it, and take proper action to deal properly with this Communist surge gaining traction IMO?
Don't know? The sleepy sheep, brainwashed by propaganda for many years now, they can't be convinced of pending doom regardless of hearing about Biden's Insane Agenda's for America, IMO. So why wait to convince those empty vessels at a greater risk to 80% of populace wanting to be vindicated, freed, and witness accountability sought? Is this where we are at or, are there more surprises to come out of many prayers for God to intervene? God comforts our souls either way, answers will come, and American's will adjust to those answers. Tick-Tock, as many patiently ride out this storm, all the while knowing God is in control. Till then, hope is, the pending "Reset" gets shelved! Call it Rumors, Conspiracy Theories, Biblical Alignments, or our New Reality Check, tis my opinion, we soon will know which way the wind is blowing,....soon, by March perhaps?! Assessment is, our Freedom of Speech, Rights, Justice, Fairness, Truths, are not running on all cylinders.
What happened to Over-Sight,Checks & Balances, Objectivity reporting from MSM, Voices for Reason, Logic, Common-sense, Laws upheld, and Truths, being allowed? Where did being rational disappear to? Down a drowned out Rabbit Hole? Deception is not Just, nor Kind. Kindness is needed!
The song, Give Me Just a Little More Time by Chairmen of the Board, comes to mind! (:
