#1 Experts say. All they wanted to see was shock and awe. Russia has used a slow and steady effort to grind down the fighting forces of Ukraine. Referring to a meat grinder. The small forces in the beginning were to get Ukraine to the negotiation table. Agreement was signed but they reneged on the agreement. So now as in WW11 Russia will demand complete and total surrender as they demanded of Germany. Numbers I am seeing were 10-1 but now Ukraine is fielding less skilled or trained units and it is speculated the new kill ratio is 17-1.

Regarding Taiwan with the new election the tone will dramatically change in favor of China. The west wants war but Taiwan has a strong affinity to China. Strong fears of war will be avoided but the west will continue their verbal war games.

I'm not at all certain "the West wants war." What they appear to 'want' is a set of continuing global crisis scenarios where political skullduggery, power plays, and arms sales thrive.

No, you are entirely correct. Little has really changed in 60+ years. Globalist goals remain much the same.

#4 The west wants war but Taiwan has a strong affinity to China.
Another vague generality. The native Taiwanese were supplanted by the Kuomintang refugees, their culture suppressed and the native dialect supplanted by enforced teaching of the Mandarin dialect. Sounds like Tibet, doesn't it?

The 'dream plan' is for the CCP to isolate, subvert and then occupy Taiwan in a bloodless coup. Why destroy all of the golden eggs the Taiwanese goose has laid in a hasty action? Most of the saber rattling we see is the overt part of the isolate stage.
