Hi,dear HIVErs.
As you probably heard, China is really angry because the US sent their 3rd person in the presidential line,Nancy Pelosi, to Taiwan.She has been known to aggitate China in the past.China issued harsh warnings against her landing in Taipei.Taiwan deployed troops for a "military exercise",China deployed troops for a "military exercise",Usa deplayed two(this is what it is known) airship carriers near the coast of China.
There are many historical reasons why China feels that Taiwan is a part of it,and many FINANCIAL reasons why the USA is on the side of Taiwan,mainly the shipping routes.
It strikes as really odd that soon after USA withdrew troopps from Iraq they started deploying the army for the Russia-Ukraine war and after that for the Taiwan dispute.
As of now,three biggest army forces in the world are in some kind of a conflict with each other.So far the EU is not really involved in anything,but alowly is being dragged into Russia-Ukranian war
If all major world army forces get into conflict,what could await us? Are we on the brink of WW3?
I dont think so.
The reason behing it is that i think this is a case of "who has the biggest...","my dad is stronger than yours",cold war kind of scenario...
There is little to no point reading into historical events and listening to news as it is highly possible to delve into conspiracy theory teritory,which is mostly never true.
We all are "too small and too dumb" to really know what is going on.Only time will tell.
I also find it "funny" how in the last two years we have crisis after crisis...covid-19,ukranian war,inflation and now the Taiwan crisis.I dont know but it smells kind of connected and probably is.
Thank you for reading.
STAY SAFE.
