Now that we’re about five weeks into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, some basic lessons learned can be applied to possible aggression against Taiwan.
I wrote several months ago about not being distracted by potential conflict in Ukraine; the main game was China lashing out. With the “no limits” partnership now in effect between China and Russia, we need to take this arrangement very seriously. China, as the senior partner and Russia as the junior partner, have communicated that anything and everything is on the table for this partnership to topple and replace the United States. This includes nuclear, chemical, and biological warfare. The stakes are now mortal for the world.
