Russia vs. Israel: How a War in the Middle East Could Happen

Thank you, my friend LTC (Join to see) for posting an unlikely scenario
1. Could Israeli air strikes in Syria trigger war between Israel and Russia?
No, Russia has been supporting Syria for may years. Their military personnel have come under fire and no doubt some have been killed.
2. Some people have been focusing on climate change since the nuclear winter was a dire threat :-)

While focusing on Russia, most have either forgotten or have not considered China. China has had a plan for 50+ years to rise to global dominance. They have watched Japan's conquest of the Pacific, and have seen how they succeeded and how they failed. China has been taking notes.

While we have been playing in the sandbox for 18+ years, China has been building up it's military forces through homegrown research, theft of technology from the West, and reverse engineering military hardware (Liaoning aircraft carrier). They have been building and buying landing craft for a decade or more (there's only one use for landing craft when you're China). They have been modernizing their intermediate range and intercontinental ballistic missile forces.

They have been building aircraft carriers and air wings for them. They built-out the Liaoning after buying it from Russia. They have used that template to build a second, and at least four more are in production. Six carrier battle groups is significant. I have read that China has been wargaming attacking American ports in Japan and Guam.

China recently flew armed aircraft over the Taiwanese side of the Taiwan Strait, a very provocative move. And we all know about China building airbases, ports, and other military facilities in the South China Sea, claiming de facto ownership of the region. Their "Coast Guard" has been escorting fishing fleets into the area, driving out other foreign fishing vessels; again, laying claim to the area.

Here's how I see it going down: China will mount a blitzkrieg-style invasion of Taiwan, forcing the US to either fish or cut-bait regarding defending Taiwan. Due to our style of bureaucratic bumbling, Taiwan will fall within a couple of days. Next will come a IRBM attack on US port facilities in Japan. The Japanese naval Self Defense Force will be shredded quickly. The US will of course rattle our sabers and condemn the attacks in the UN, and then argue about sanctions. Meanwhile, China will keep island hopping, keeping US carriers at bay with their own carrier battle groups and submarines that carry the alleged "carrier-killer" missiles. Hawaii will once more be the American frontier in the Pacific. Heck if China feels extra froggy, they may set their sights on Hawaii as well. Once China gets rolling, they will be tough to stop, and they won't be hobbled by WW2 Japan's limited resources (POL products).

So the next time you talk about an "existential threat" to the world, better think about China. If not, Chinese may become the next default language of aviation, seafaring, and anything else international.

Climate change has been going on for Millions of years and way longer than humans have even exited. These so called "Green Deals" are nothing but a huge scam to steal Your hard earned cash.! Nothing like paying double on You electric bill even though your using less electricity ! This scam is widespread all over the both Canada and the United States. He have a lot of other things in this world that actually are happening and get ignored even though they are very serious. Seems that Socialism/Communism is creeping into our society just as some Communist leaders of the past said it would. Stupid is alive and well !
