As we have now learned, the Americans have repeatedly tried to persuade Ukrainian President Zelensky to stop the ongoing attacks on Russian infrastructure. Clearly, the party of those who fear an escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and also see inflationary leaps due to rising oil prices as a danger is growing. Zelensky has rejected this according to his own statements - this is an attempt by neocons and the EU technocrats such as French President Macron to steer the Americans back in this war. The European Union, which is facing severe economic problems, needs a cover story for its impending bankruptcy. This must stop!

I mean they are a sovereign country using their own weapons to launch these attacks. Not sure why the US should expect them to listen esp. when the US support is waning anyway. If you are getting punched by someone over and over again and the person who helped you leaves and you are taking lefts and rights over and over it only makes sense to go low to hit the bully where it hurts.

IMO it's the Europeans that are in desperate need to bring back the US into this mess as they are clearly losing. The green man is just a puppet of the neocon warmongers.

As history has shown us… nothing helps a struggling economy out more than a war. With all the uses of the Defense Production Act by the Admin the U.S. is spending a ton of cash and authorizing a lot of sales of everything to Europe and SE Asia ATM

So, it's the same old story again. First US and Allies would promise a nation for uncensored and never lasting support, but suddenly they start preaching the other way.
US had done it with Taliban, Saddam, Syria, any many more.
Zelensky, you clown! I feel for you. Now, you won't find a place to hide.

Did you see the Japanese announcement? They are ordering/preparing their southern islands by the island you are taking about to build reenforced bunkers and stock up on supplies…

No, I didn't see it. Am I missing something?
Yes, I know that Japan considers its Southern part/Island Kyushu strategic for international trade. Japan has been restructuring it as a plan to show itself as the intermediary between the North and the global south

Just commented about it below but here is a link to one of the articles discussing it.

The only reason I would believe China would make a move is really two-fold. One they are nearing a population cliff and this was what Russia was facing when they first launched the Ukrainian Invasion. Also, war is a known historic and fantastic way to continue to quiet the discontent in the Mainland and reboot its economy since it has been sluggish esp. by their standards compared to the last 20-30 years.

Its these islands that they mention... What is the thing Xi had said... reunification by 2030 or something? Makes sense Japan would move now to protect its citizens.

This is just a strategic move to be ready if China escalates to Taiwan.
If China does so, Japan is left with no other choice than to retaliate with US/NATO to stop Chinese aggression. So, the most affected part would be the adjacent to Taiwan. So, Japan is getting ready for my situation before a
any serious breakout.
Still, I believe that China won't escalate as of now,

This is bullshit. China is very smart. these are the times where they first need to resurrect their economy. Yes, they will head eastwards, fly over other territories but they won't escalate as of now. Show of aggression in South chia sea is a shallow show of Bejieng, IMO.
