Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin reinforced Russia’s support for China, backing Beijing’s claims over Taiwan and downplaying concerns about Sino-Russian cooperation.
At the Valdai forum, Putin stated that Russia views China as an ally with a “reasonable” policy on Taiwan, accusing Taiwan of provoking a Ukraine-style crisis in Asia.
He highlighted the strong trade and security ties between Russia and China, asserting that joint military exercises between the two nations are defensive and comparable to U.S.-Japan drills, and pose no threat to other countries.
The US military predicts april or October 2027 or 2028 as several things coalesce.
The month is determined by the weather in the Taiwan strait The year because china ordered it’s military to be ready to take Taiwan by force in 2027. But October 2028 means the US should be either in chaos due to an upcoming election, or because there will not be an election.
So if I would have to bet, it’s Oct 2028. Unless the maga party shits the bed real bad before then… they might open an Oct 2027 or April 2028 window.
Yeah, after Tuesday, I think that’s a pretty shrewd estimate tbh
