Venezuela - US Conflict: News, Updates

[ChineseTiger1986]

I refer to Lavrov statement he promises China with mutual support if war breaks out. What will the Russians send to war?

Trump is preparing a final showdown with China.

China is preparing to de-industrialize Japan first, but they are just a nuisance to us, also part of the US led ecosystem.

Once Japan is down, China will take back the Ryukyu islands, maybe Russia will also snatch the Hokkaido island from Japan.

We are still in the first week of January. Shit is already hitting the fan globally. American led globalization is dying a slow death. Russia and America are trying to carve out their own spheres of influence.
Reminder of the days to come.

Right. This year doesn't look like a year of peace. I wish it were. Trump is on a mission to get major domestic and international achievements under his belt and no stopping him on either fronts. Just saw a news, he has asked the US Defense budget to be raised to $1.5 trillion!

Russian's are already on ventilator in Ukraine, but at least they are keep fighting, I am starting to feel disappointed over Chinese actions over recent major changes around the world, I mean no one fear China or there is no ally that will rely on China for the rescue like Allies do with Good ol America.

There are multiple sources saying China is not too displeased with America's Western Hemisphere plans. Maybe the 'Spheres of Influence' has some validity.
Who knows. But we will not have to wait long to find out--perhaps by the middle of this year.

Something like that in a great 90s movie 'Clear and Present Danger' (Harrison Ford). Watched it many times!

The biggest loser is the venezuelan people. They don't know that their country is about to be Libya

Sadly, their suffering will prolong.
Pick a fight where you have a chance. Too many countries who got destroyed or are well below their potentials picked fights with a Superpower. There are ways to show some 'spine' to get enough out of a bully to develop yourself first.

I refer to Lavrov statement he promises China with “mutual support” if war breaks out.
What will the Russians send to war? If just trade, cheap oil, cheap gas then it’s too little with mutual support, don’t you think so? He can say the same to India.

So what do we need from Russia?

Even if we only mobilize reserves, militia, and retired soldiers, we can assemble 50 million troops in a very short period of time.

If our industrial assembly line switches to wartime mode, billions of drones and robotic dogs will flood the enemy's territory.

We are still among the top resource rich countries, with the world's largest grain production and 50% of global grain reserves.

Actually, we don't need any assistance anymore, but in terms of manpower and industrial capacity, Russia should still provide us with resources. At the very least, we don't need their soldiers or industrial capacity.

I suggest you do more, talk less, let focus to take Taiwan then we continue. Ccp talks too much. By this pace, Trump probably takes half of the globe before Ccp makes a move on Taiwan.

The PPP in the United States accounts for only 14% of the global proportion, and industrial output only accounts for 12%. It is no longer the United States of 30 years ago.

The United States, which has lost its allies and international political correctness, has no ability to threaten China. What China wants now is a complete Taiwan, not the ruins of war.

China only needs to expand its navy while waiting for the day when the United States becomes the world's public enemy, and then have a naval decisive battle in Western Pacific. Just like Britain destroyed the Spanish Armada.

The Americans are preparing for a big war, WWIII and that is why they want full control over Venezuelan oil and also Greenland for minerals for its war machine.

Food for thought for China imho. Russia is a spent force ( it does look like Russians were provoked into a war in Ukraine to wear them down as a pre-requisite for a war on China ).

The problem for China is that the USA is pre-empting all of China's carefully laid plans. War is coming faster than China has predicted or is ready for it seems. China needs to speed up it preparations.

Chinese have over intellectualised their rise to power, not understanding that they are dealing with a rogue lawless mafia state in the shape of the USA.

The spheres of influence is headed exactly in that direction...
However, much happening right now is for a domestic reset is US itself... where something as far-fetched as the insurrection act to prolong current arrangement may be in works as... the gestapo like presence on the US streets has resulted in multiple deaths... now becoming a routine occurrence to kickstart a full blown movement that can help usher in the insurrection act and indefinite rule... in part because of complete breakdown in rule of law, epstein and exposé on elicit elite circles running amok, ethnic tensions, wealth disparity... North and South divide...religious and race relations etc...
However just like everything else let this take shape.

You are a Vietnamese, don't they teach Chinese history in Vietnam anymore?

You don't know the history of "郑伯克段于鄢" that happened in 722 BC? Is it difficult to understand the current strategic maneuvers of China?

learning Chinese history?
yes but not after 1883. China accepted French sovereignty over Vietnam in the treaty of Hue of 1883. And again in 1930 with western military powers.

Treaty of Huế (1883) - Wikipedia

Treaty of Hue (Napoleon's World)

The Treaty of Hue was an independently-negotiated treaty between the United States, China, Vietnam and Siam following the Pacific War, negotiated during December 1929 and January 1930, and signed on January 28th, 1930. The agreement settled disputes regarding territory and zones of influence...

The article below sheds more light on the possible framework that could have been worked on behind the two larger powers.

Entirely possible. After all, Putin has Agent Orange on his side in the White House.

Great advice for some other countries too, not just Venezuela.
