Quoting: The Albuquerque Statesman I'll answer my own question, since no one else will. The sound of two kings taking off their shoes and standing on Holy ground. Well, the first two shoes had already dropped in my opinion. Signs of war: Lavrov cancelling his trip and the British FM calling for Europe to find new sources of energy. I was waiting for one more shoe to drop to kind of confirm things though and I think Belarus preparing to pull out of SWIFT is just that. The third shoe. AKA Tiger Blood |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77741752 The alternative energy sources things is key here. What this is all about. A big part of it anyway. That and Iran, I think. For Russia and China it is other things, of course (Ukraine and Taiwan). I think people are going to be surprised at how events unfold. The direct consequence for the US and the west won't be that bad, but further down the line... AKA Tiger Blood |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53679540 I think all three situations may go hot simultaneously or near simultaneously. It is always wise to strike while the iron is hot. Thanks, that’s my take on it as well. Since Israel’s call-up of reserves today, it looks like that theater will be open for business in a few week’s time, or possibly less. The ground has now gotten hard enough to support armor in the Ukraine and environs, so there’s that.

On a related note vis. China/Taiwan, were you aware that the Chinese made very explicit nuclear threats to Japan this past summer, to the effect that they would attack them with nuclear weapons if they interfered with any “repatriation”, as they referred to it, of Taiwan? Complicating the issue is that, according to certain sources, Japan has around 100 to 150 nuclear devices, all fission weapons ranging from mini-nukes to yields around 100kt, and has had them since the late 1980s (by internal agreement, the works and casings are kept in far separate locations from their plutonium “pits”)... the U.S. wasn’t aware of this until some time after they had been created. |
