Fears grow as China ramps up military drills near Taiwan

CHINA ramped up war fears yesterday by extending its huge military drills around Taiwan.

President Xi Jinping’s troops exercises near the contested island — in protest at US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit last week — were due to end on Sunday.

But China pledged yesterday to continue its live missile firing and drills involving warships, fighter jets and troops.

Exactly like the Russia / Ukraine situation. Intelligence on an invasion was determined months prior. Russia said it was just “training drills” Everyone: They’d never do anything Russia wouldn’t! Russia months later: hold my beer 🍺

THe more drill they do, the more lower possible for them to invade. You know if you wanna strike someone you don't wanna he is in caution on you every seconds and made preparation for incoming threat.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Matthew 24:6‭-‬8
