Trump-vs-XI: “The Winds of War”. Are they now inevitably blowing our way?

[GammaGlobulin]

Dear Folks,

 

Let us not underestimate the impact of these two Narcissistic Titans, Trump and XI.

 

Neither one will back down, just due to their somewhat similar psychological profiles.

 

As for XI, he has long promised to invade Taiwan, and restore the integrity of China, something that Mao did not accomplish. Xi will try to prove himself to be an even GREATER helmsman than the Great Helmsman, himself.

 

Of course, Xi fails to acknowledge that Taiwan was never, historically, a part of China…but this matters not to the MadMan XI.

 

As for Trump, I have nothing but GOOD THINGS to say about him, and I am NOT Joking, this time.  But, Trump, too, will never back down.  He knows he is right, because….Trump scores high on the narcissism continuum…gods love him!!!!

 

But, what might this mean at this particular JUNCTURE in world history, with outrageous Tariffs..just a symptom of the problem which CANNOT continue?

 

Again, I am NOT JOKING HERE….Folks:

 

I believe that we are closer to war over Taiwan than we have ever been. XI wishes to prove himself, as a strong man. And, XI ….. CANNOT back down. This is an impossibility, due to his warped personality, probably warped by some sort of Oedipal Complex, never resolved when he was young.

 

================

 

Now, Folks, please take a look at two articles I found on the website 1945, and shudder with fear for Humanity….

 

The thing I worry about most is…if we have a war over Taiwan, then…maybe….

Musk will no longer be able to get to mars, to establish his outpost, to save Human Intelligence, before we blow ourselves to kingdom come.  I mean, I do hope that Elon will be able to establish a safe haven for Human Intelligence on the planet Mars, but I think we are quickly running out of time for this….

 

This will be a bad thing for the universe, OBVIOUSLY….

 

I have lived through some dire times, such as when we had to hide under our desks during my grade-school years.

 

But, I think that now…things are quickly progressing to almost this level of direness.

 

What do you think?

 

Will you hide under your desks, now that you are old, when the missiles fly over the Taiwan Strait?

 

Please believe me:  Neither Trump, nor XI, are joking, now.

 

And, the probability of a devastating war is higher than it has been in a VERY long time.

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

Note:  By the way…Will this be, do you imagine, our LAST Songkran, and our LAST Hurrah???

 

Note2:  I think the probability is high, but not so high that saner heads might prevail…IF, and ONLY IF ... .the PLA removes XI from office, PDQ….

 

Concerning the War Scenario, within Six Months….

This CAN happen, and it can happen suddenly.

 

My famous last words???

 

Note3:  Let us all kneel down and pray about it…shall we???

 

Because:

 

Let's take a look at these two interesting articles.....

 

a.  The U.S.-China War of 2025 Could Begin over Trade and Tariffs

b. China Will Launch an Invasion of Taiwan In Next Few Months: Intel Sources

 

Intel sources who have spoken to 19FortyFive state that they believe an attempt by China to invade Taiwan is no less than six months away.

c. Well, Folks, I must tell you that I believe that we have never been closer to war with the ChiCom Bandits than at any other time since....

The Korean Conflict.

 

I just wonder if....

Next year, in April, we will have as much fun during the Songkran New Year...or....

If there might be nobody here to get wet.

 

d.  What is Winds of War, anyway?

 

Just, please, ask RHODA.....

 

 

HAIL, and Farewell, RHODA....

 

Happy Landings....to ALL.....

 

Best regards,

Wouldn't it be wonderful to STOP this stupid war...before....

It really gets going????

Although war isn't effective we do need a major culling followed by a science based society.

Wars can be very effective.

 

Yet, not very productive, in the long run.

You mean life the science around global warming, or vegan ism?

 

Yea, then we can sit around the campfire happy clapping.

 

Much better we have a true Gilead like The Handmaid's Tale. 

😁

If Trump wants Canada and Greenland could he begrudge China for taking Taiwan and the sea surrounding the Philippines?...

A virus would be quite effective and preserve the infrastructure. Which could then be transformed. Oh the great possibilities.

 

Ps ..if the virus gets me that's OK.
