China is 'developing the capability' to invade Taiwan, says top US general - BBC News

A Chinese attack on Taiwan is not imminent, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley has said, but the US is watching "very closely".

China is clearly developing the capability to attack at some point, but deciding to do so would be a political choice, Genral Milley told the BBC.

China says Taiwan is a breakaway province that must be re-unified with the mainland, by force if necessary.

"Size does matter" -US General on BBC

[wendahu]

I love how the BBC host kept trying to bait the general into saying something sensitive or revealing, and the general was like: come on man, what're you expecting me to say?

[andrew]

This guy looks exactly like what you would imagine a general to look like.

It's shocking to see that Hank Schrader lived and became a top US general!

"we believe Syria is developing WMD, so we gave it freedom and democracy"

"Cuz they actually have WMD"

I think in times like these, where market has been so down, it would be beneficial to hear more often from you, talking about the situation and such. I believe a lot of people are disappointed because the news coming from you were very optimistic, talking about BTC going to $100k few months ago, about us being in bull market, and when those predictions turned out to be wrong, you're gone. I've been watching you for a while and I can tell you're doing a lot of research. The 12.7M subscribers are your crew you should stay in touch more, That's why I will forever be in-depted to you Clara, you've changed my life, I'll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear, you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, Thanks Ms Clara Greens

This general surely meets our expectation of a general's waistline.

Well, they just watched Russia get away with it twice and had an opportunity to watch and learn from all of their mistakes. This is a very very real threat to Taiwan.

The question is when and not if. However, China has seen the reaction by the west with the invasion of the Ukraine; not convinced this will deter them.

[levity]

It's about time humans realise we are all a part of the same species and just be friends. It's really that simple

[thesaltycabbage]

Nothing to do with Taiwan just anyone that might threaten US military dominance.

Oh, goody, something else to look forward to. Better start stocking up on loo rolls (or even spring rolls) just in case...

The problem is with the US, the soldiers win the battles but, the politicians lose it.

[gyrmwxs]

Can China invade Taiwan? We're watching it very closely. 😂😂
