LKY - Americans lacked depth, wisdom and finese
Growing body of evidence suggests that the US would destroy Taiwan semiconductor factories if China invades
As Bloomberg reported in October 2022, former officials with ties to the Pentagon have urged the Biden administration to destroy Taiwan’s semiconductor industry in the event of a Chinese military assault. The outlet cited Elbridge Colby, a rabidly anti-China former Pentagon official, proclaiming, “We can’t allow such a valuable equity to fall into Chinese hands, I think it would be nuts.”
Last year, the US Army War College’s most-downloaded paper called for a similarly ruthless strategy. “To start, the United States and Taiwan should lay plans for a targeted scorched-earth strategy that would render Taiwan not just unattractive if ever seized by force, but positively costly to maintain,” the paper proposed. “This could be done most effectively by threatening to destroy facilities belonging to the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the most important chipmaker in the world and China’s most important supplier.”
“An automatic mechanism might be designed, which would be triggered once an invasion was confirmed,” the paper suggested, adding that the US and its allies could “give refuge” to Taiwanese workers in the sector, while Taipei could make “and publicize plans to target the mainland’s chip-fabrication lines using cruise and ballistic missiles, including the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation facility in Shanghai.” The paper also proposed a “preplanned sanctions campaign against any chip exports to China.”
Former White House National Security Advisor Robert C. O’Brien had also hinted at a sinister US contingency plan in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Rather than see Taiwan’s semiconductor factories fall into China's hands, the US and its allies would simply pull a Nordstream.

US and UK, the number one and number two evil warmongers of the world
Germany is now openly admitting that it is unable to send any more weapons to Ukraine. Germany's military stockpile, which it admitted, had been seriously depleted and it will take a long while to replenish. Countries do not openly admit something like this as it concerns their national security.
Why did Germany take so long to tell the world, over a problem that many already knew, and had been talking about since the Ukraine War started? Many already knew that Nato is unprepared for this war in Ukraine. Is this an indication that the Germans are now attempting to wash their hands off Ukraine, since coming to realise that the USA is now targeting China instead? Without the USA calling the shots in Nato, Germany is expected to be next in charge, right? And they are just indicating that no way will they be leading Nato in carrying on the Ukraine War. We can forget about Little Britain. It will follow the USA into the South China Sea and get itself drowned.
Little wonder Zelenskyy wants desperately to talk to China. Putin no longer wants to negotiate with him, knowing he is untrustworthy. Wonder what Zelenskyy wants to talk to China about? Peace? Probably. China is now the only channel open to Zelenskyy to deal with Putin. Talk has it that China is not going to broker any peace deal betwee Russia and Ukraine, but merely wants to provide an open channel for them to negotiate. Moreover, Putin is not in favour of China talking to Zelenskyy or Xi meeting him in Beijing, so we can see the problem.
The USA is pivoting towards China and Zelenskyy knows his days are numbered. Little Britain, main provocator and supporter of the Ukraine War, is the attack dog that will follow the USA when it turns to China. Little Britain is the conduit of the USA relaying orders to Zelenskyy in the Ukraine conflict and when, not if, Little Britain follows the USA's main agenda of confronting China instead, Zelenskyy's support will crumble. How to fight Russia by then? Every day begging and trying to turn every conceivable event, like the G20, Oscars and Olympics, into a political platform to carry his message that harbours nothing but begging for more aid and weapons.
Europe is facing chaos. Finland is officially joining Nato, but for what purpose if Nato breaks up. Laughable if it is expected to beef up Nato's bargaining power. The French, on the surface, if you believe the MSM, are protesting about the rise in the retirement age. Those who dig deeper knows it is about getting out of Nato. But that is not going to be the main narrative on MSM.
The French already wanted out of Nato since the war started in Ukraine or even before that. ago. In fact France also wanted out of the EU. The 'Franxit' as they call it. But France faced much of a threat from the EU itself over this. And the thought remains in suspension, just like Scotland wanting to leave the UK. But how long can it remain so?

Europe in throes and burning...leaving Asia, Africa and Latin America in peace
Europe is burning to the ground. The financial burden in supporting the Ukraine War is taking its tolls on Europe. Their weak economies cannot bear it and crumpling. Their people are crying and rising in protest. All the pains and sufferings were caused by the evil American Empire. And Europe is hapless, unable to say no to the Americans, too weak to say no, and would be bled to death.
The rest of the world should be smart enough to stay far far away from the mess the Americans are creating for Europe. This is like the Americans fiddling on the roof and letting Europe burns. Hope there is no silly Asian, African or Latin American leaders that would foolishly allow their country to be run down by the Americans like in Ukraine and Europe.
So far the likely candidate is Taiwan and maybe the Philippines. Taiwan is at the brink of going up in smokes if the Taiwan Chinese still refuse to act to save themselves from the treacherous plans being worked out by the Americans and the DPP leaders. The Philippines has a very weak President, likely being coerced by the Americans and in the pocket of the Americans to do as being told.
Asia, Africa and Latin American must stay in peace and not be dragged into any wars by the evil Americans.
Below are some headlines from RT showing Europe in flames.

Airports, bus stops, and train stations were at a standstill across Germany on Monday, as more than 400,000 public transportation employees took part in a 24-hour strike. The workers are demanding pay rises to compensate for inflation, which has soared in Germany since last year.
The strike began at midnight and is set to end at midnight on Tuesday. Eight major German airports were affected, with the German Airports Association estimating that around 380,000 travelers were left stranded. Munich Airport shut down entirely from Sunday onwards, with all flights canceled and its terminal deserted....

Bhutan trying to break free from being a colony of India
Bhutanese can see the developments and benefits that China brought to neighbouring countries like Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Even countries far and away are reaping the rewards of Chinese infrastructure developments, like in Africa. What can India do to uplift the lives of people in neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh? India is not even capable of uplifting its own people out of poverty fast enough. If Bhutan gets stuck with India, it will remain backward and poor.
Years of touting on the population increase in India as providing a 'demographic dividend', is realistically becoming a disaster for India to keep increasing its population without eradicating poverty first. It is said that Indians may be well educated, but jobs creation are not keeping up and being jobless keeps the people poor, one genertion to the next.
And that is not going to improve the lives of its younger generation. It is adding to the problem of creating more jobs for India's expanding population. And India needs manufacturing and investments, to provide more jobs, which will take time. Investors are still wary of investing in India, particularly the Chinese. They prefer to move their factories to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. That is why the Chinese are building high speed rail connections, upgrading ports to provide the facilities to serve those manufacturing hubs.
Kashmir is also administered by three countries - India, Pakistan and China. And Kashmir may be next in line to follow Bhutan.
What the Chinese could do in Bhutan and Kashmir is help to develop the regions under its administration to show the rest of the two countries not under its administration, what they stand to benefit under Chinese administration. That I believe is what the Indians are worried about.
