If you like what I am doing then
Sinking Russian Oilers
I have long advocated to target Russia's "shadow fleet" of oilers.
That is now finally happening.
Trump still imagines he can/will make a "deal" with Putin. He really cannot. Putin will not keep his word, will stab Trump in the back -- and then what?
I will tell you what. Trump will destroy Putin, and the "Russian" federation will split apart. The captive subjugated republics will gain independence, and "Russia" will be reduced to Muscovy and Novgorod.
When they came for a Russian spy ship I wasnโt a Russian spy SO IT BURNS.
When they came for the Russian tanker, I wasnโt a Russian tanker SO IT BURNS.
Russian Oil Tanker Explodes near Petersburg.
When they came for the Chinese tanker, I knew China claimed Sakhalin island as Chinese territory, and so I ran it right aground. Chinese Oiler Invades Sakhalin Island!
So, when they came for the Russian boats, there was no one left to complain, so they seized them, because their was nothing left to burn.
Hereโs oh just a two hour video about the collapse of the โRussianโ federation and liberation of its captive subjugated nations. ๅทฅๅ ่งฃๆพๅ ๆฒน๏ผ

Successive explosions in Krasnodar attacking oil depots boom. Smoke!
This ends with the โRussianโ federation reduced to the republic of Novgorod and the khanate of Muscovy.
Taiwan:
Asia-Pacific analysis is all too often marked by a multitude of misconceptions and miscalculations. This sad truth is particularly evident among well-meaning and patriotic Chinese individuals. Well-meaning and patriotic Chinese people misapprehend their own capabilities and U.S. capacities.
The status and future of Taiwan, a contentious issue in Sino-American relations, is often viewed through the lens of military conquest. However, the future of Taiwan and China is most likely to prove more like the relations between the USA and Canada, rather than some grotesque and gory pacific version of the D-Day landings. Just as Canada maintains a significant degree of autonomy while existing in the shadow of its powerful southern neighbor, Taiwan's future is likely to be characterized by a delicate balance of independence and accommodation with China.
A closer examination of China's military capabilities reveals that China lacks the necessary means to achieve its political ambitions regarding Taiwan, as well as in the South China Sea. The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) has made significant strides in modernizing its fleet, but it still lags behind the United States in terms of overall military power.
In fact, China's most effective naval vessel, the Peace Ark, is a hospital ship that has been used for humanitarian missions, providing medical care to impoverished communities around the world. The USA would be hard-pressed to oppose such goodwill visits, as they demonstrate China's commitment to soft power and international cooperation.
Rather than focusing on preparing for a war that is unlikely to occur, the PLAN would be wise to concentrate on real-world missions that promote regional stability and security. Anti-piracy operations, hostage rescue, humanitarian relief, and anti-terrorism efforts are all areas where China can make a positive contribution, enhancing its reputation as a responsible global actor. By doing so, China can also reduce the likelihood of conflict with other nations, including the United States, and create an environment conducive to peaceful resolution of disputes.
It is true that China has a history of fighting wars that it knows it will lose, with the aim of winning the peace thereafter. This approach, however, is suboptimal and can lead to unintended consequences. The outcome of any war is inherently somewhat uncertain, and the side that loses on the battlefield usually also loses the peace. The Chinese government would do well to consider the long-term implications of its actions and prioritize diplomacy and cooperation over military adventurism.
In this context, it is worth noting that China has a long-standing grievance against Russia, which stole Chinese lands in the Amur valley during the 19th century. If China is indeed seeking to assert its military prowess, it would be more productive to focus on reclaiming its lost territories from Russia rather than pursuing a futile and potentially disastrous conflict with the United States over Taiwan. This approach would not only be more likely to succeed but also align with China's historical narrative of national rejuvenation, restoring Chinese lands to Chinese sovereignty, and reclaiming its rightful place on the world stage.
Defensive realism emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong defense while avoiding unnecessary conflicts, is particularly relevant in this context. By prioritizing its own security and stability, China can create an environment in which it can pursue its national interests without resorting to military force. This approach is also consistent with the principles of capitalist peace theory, which suggests that international trade and investment can reduce the likelihood of conflict between nations.
The relationship between China and the United States is often characterized as a zero-sum game, in which one side's gain must come at the expense of the other. However, this perspective neglects the potential for cooperation and mutual benefit. By engaging in international trade and investment, China and the United States can create a web of interdependence that reduces the likelihood of conflict and promote peaceful resolution of disputes.
The example of the Peace Ark hospital ship is instructive in this regard. By providing medical care to impoverished communities, China is not only promoting its own soft power but also contributing to regional stability and security. This approach is consistent with the principles of humanitarian intervention, which emphasize the importance of protecting human rights and promoting human dignity. It is an unbeatable move, and one the USA would do well to emulate rather than hinder.
In conclusion, the future of Taiwan is likely to be characterized by a delicate balance of independence and accommodation with China, rather than a military conquest. China's military capabilities are insufficient to achieve its political ambitions. China would be wise to focus on real-world missions that promote regional stability and security. By prioritizing diplomacy and cooperation, China can create an environment conducive to peaceful resolution of disputes and promote its own national interests without resorting to military force.
