Ukraine Just Sabotaged China's Plot to Attack Taiwan



Ukraine isn’t just fighting Russia — it may be stopping China next. Ukraine’s war against Russia is reshaping modern warfare — and countries across Asia are paying attention. In this video, I break down how Ukraine’s drone warfare, naval drones, and asymmetric tactics are being adopted by Taiwan, the Philippines, Japan, and India to counter China. These combat-proven systems are changing the calculus of a Taiwan invasion and making the South China Sea far more dangerous for China’s military. With lessons from Ukraine and new risks exposed by the war in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, China’s ability to invade Taiwan looks far weaker than it seems



Ukraine will never get a "thank you" from anyone in the current administration, so I'll say it for them: Thank you Ukraine! For standing strong and smart and for being the great ally you are and always have been.

But I fear whatever is the next generation of warfare. Humans always seem to develop more and more vile ways to kill others.

We all know that the word "slop" is attached to AI for a reason.

He speaks for himself and the world knows it!

Chump doesn't have any cards!
His failure is not an indictment on most Americans.
