Here’s The Year China Will Invade Taiwan, According to a U.S. Admiral.

In testimony before the U.S. House Armed Services Committee, Admiral John Aquilino, head of the Indo-Pacific Command, revealed that China is accelerating its nuclear and military capabilities in preparation for a potential invasion of Taiwan by 2027.

“All indications point to the PLA (People’s Liberation Army) meeting President Xi Jinping’s directive to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027,” Aquilino said. “The PLA’s actions indicate their ability to meet Xi’s preferred timeline to unify Taiwan with mainland China by force if directed.”

Aquilino noted that China also possesses advanced modern systems that would enable it to exert significant control in the Pacific.  “The People’s Liberation Army is fielding modern systems like hypersonic weapons and fifth-generation fighters,” he said. “They can project power well into the Pacific with a 340 ship navy that includes a new aircraft carrier and nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines.”

China requested in February that the U.S. sever all official ties with Taiwan following Taiwanese elections that saw anti-China politicians take power. “China opposes any form of official interaction between the U.S. and Taiwan authorities and rejects U.S. interference in Taiwan affairs in whatever form or under whatever pretext,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said.

Most Americans Want to Stop Sending Weapons to Israel.

Over half of Americans believe the U.S. government should stop supplying weapons to Israel.

A recent YouGov poll commissioned by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) found that 52 percent of Americans believe the Biden regime “should stop weapons shipments to Israel until Israel discontinues its attacks on the people of Gaza.”

The poll revealed a slight split along partisan lines. Sixty-two percent of those who voted for Biden in 2020 agreed with stopping weapons shipments, while only 14 percent disagreed. Conversely, 30 percent of Americans who voted for Trump in 2020 wish to stop weapons shipments to Israel. Sixty percent of those who did not vote in 2020 wish the government to stop sending weapons to Israel until a ceasefire in Gaza is reached.

Israel’s military action in Gaza has reportedly resulted in over 30,600 Palestinians dead and approximately 72,000 wounded. Moreover, the conflict has triggered significant internal displacement in Gaza, with a markedly inadequate supply of food, water, and medication for 85 percent of Gaza’s population.

As concerns mount over the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, many believe the U.S. should assume a hands-off approach to the Israel-Hamas dispute, considering the potential implications on wider regional stability. Such restraint echoes the sentiments of American voters in requesting a temporary halt in supplying weapons to Israel.

Once a stalwart supporter of the Israeli war effort, the Biden regime has been increasingly distancing itself from Israel in an attempt to woo Arab, Muslim, and progressive voters.

France Sends 2,000 Troops to Ukraine, Russia Warns They Will Be PRIORITY Target.

Russian intelligence has said that France is assembling a military contingent of approximately 2,000 troops to be deployed in Ukraine, and that these troops will present a “priority target” for Russia.

“The current leadership of [France] does not care about the deaths of ordinary French people or about the concerns of the generals,” SVR Director Sergey Naryshkin said. “According to information coming to the Russian SVR, a contingent to be sent to Ukraine is already being prepared. Initially, it will include around 2,000 troops.”

France “fears that such a large military unit cannot be transferred and stationed in Ukraine unnoticed,” Naryshkin said. “It will thus become a legitimate priority target for attacks by the Russian armed forces. This means that it will suffer the fate of all the French who have ever come to the Russian world with a sword,” emphasized Naryshkin, likely in reference to Napoleon’s disastrous 1812 invasion of Russia. Naryshkin could also have been referring to Infanterieregiment 638 and SS Volunteer Sturmbrigade France — French troops who fought for Nazi Germany and took part in the German invasion of the Soviet Union. The Russian government has long stressed that ‘de-Nazification‘ is a central goal of its military action in Ukraine.

The revelations of a pending deployment of French troops to Ukraine follow a series of increasingly belligerent remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron.

Lindsey Graham Visits Kiev, Discusses Young Men.

During his visit to Ukraine, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) urged Ukrainian officials on Monday to rapidly adopt a bill that would increase the pool of eligible military draftees in the nation, suggesting there should be no exemptions for men under the age of 27.

“I would hope that those eligible to serve in the Ukrainian military would join. I can’t believe it’s at 27,” Graham told reporters. “You’re in a fight for your life, so you should be serving — not at 25 or 27,” he said, adding: “We need more people in the line,” he said.

During his first journey to Kiev following a sudden rebuff of a $60 billion aid package last month, Senator Graham said he was “more optimistic than I’ve ever been that something will get out of the House pretty soon.” The Senator’s visit to Ukraine also involved a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Ukraine is grappling with diminishing soldiers and ammunition as Russia capitalizes on significant battlefield victories. Ukraine’s discussions on a new mobilization law to decrease the draft age to 25 underline its lack of enough trained troops ready for combat.

Senator Graham has been a staunch advocate for further aid for Ukraine, visiting the country multiple times since 2022. Nevertheless, he surprisingly opposed an aid package last month, aligning with Donald Trump’s stance on negotiating aid as loan packages rather than outright grants.

During his meeting with President Zelensky, he stated that it was fair to expect Ukraine and other allies to repay the U.S. in the future, illustrating his belief that the loan idea would garner success not only among Republicans but Democrats as well.

Despite aid disagreements, Senator Graham assured the Ukrainian troops that the U.S. would supply more 155mm artillery shells, which they currently lack. He also expressed disappointment in the delay of U.S.-provided long-range missiles known as ATACMS, asserting their crucial need on the battleground.

Putin Warns of ‘Full-Scale Third World War’ After Election Win.

Following an expected victory in the Russian elections, President Vladimir Putin has warned a “full-scale” world war may be on the horizon, blaming Western governments who “want to intimidate us.”

“I think that everything is possible in the modern world,” he said when quizzed on the possibility of open conflict between the Russian Federation and the West following an election contest in which he won over 87 percent of the vote.

“But I have already said, and it is clear to everyone, that it will be one step away from a full-scale Third World War,” he added, lamenting that, in his view, “hardly anyone is interested in this.”

Western governments have argued the Russian elections were a sham, with opposition figures like the now-deceased Alexei Navalny unable to participate. Western news outlets who typically report negatively on Russia, such as The New York Times, have acknowledged Putin’s support does appear to be “real,” however, citing independent Levada Center polling putting his approval rating at 86 percent.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has suspended elections altogether and banned the country’s second-largest party for alleged Russian sympathies.

In February, Putin also warned that Western interference in Ukraine could spark a nuclear war.

Mother of Dead Briton Who Fought in Ukraine Blames Ex PM Liz Truss: ‘Blood on Her Hands.’

The mother of a British man who committed suicide after fighting in Ukraine says former Prime Minister Liz Truss has “blood on her hands.”

Then 23-year-old Harry Gregg volunteered for Volodymyr Zelensky’s army after former prime minister Liz Truss said she “absolutely” supported people traveling to Ukraine to fight. Shortly after the Russian intervention in February 2022, then-Foreign Secretary Truss said Zelensky’s forces were “fighting for freedom and democracy, not just for Ukraine but for the whole of Europe,” adding that “absolutely, if people want to support that struggle, I would support them in doing that.”

Gregg’s mother, Sandi Gregg, claims Truss’s statement drove her son to join the Ukrainian forces. “He suffered from ADHD and was very impetuous. He phoned me the day after Liz had said that and told me ‘Mum, I’m going to Ukraine,’” Gregg told The Daily Mail, adding: “He couldn’t be talked down from it. To all intents and purposes he had no military experience whatsoever. Liz Truss has blood on her hands.”

An inquest heard Gregg had a harrowing experience in the trenches and suffered from PTSD after returning home. He hanged himself the day after he turned 25.

This week, the Russian Defense Ministry said its forces killed approximately 6,000 foreign fighters in Ukraine since the war began. Warmongering rhetoric from anti-Russian globalists like Truss doubtless inspired many of them to join up.

Russia Says It Has Killed 491 Americans in Ukraine.

Russia’s Defense Ministry released a report on Thursday stating that their forces have killed approximately 6,000 foreign mercenaries and volunteers who were fighting for Ukraine. The report alleges that a total of 13,387 “foreign mercenaries” from foreign countries have participated in the war since its commencement over two years ago.

Among the killed foreign fighters, Russia reports 491 were American fatalities. The estimated number of British casualties is 360, and 422 deaths from Canada. The highest number of foreign fighters were Polish, accounting for 1,497 deaths out of the total 2,690 reported.

UK Prime Minister Liz Truss encouraged Western fighters to volunteer for Ukraine during the early stages of the Russian invasion. The U.S. also brazenly endorsed Ukraine’s foreign recruitment efforts via online platforms, even on social media platforms such as Facebook. But as the war hit a stalemate and the casualty rates soared, Western officials appeared to recede from their initial enthusiasm.

The negative repercussions of these endorsements were evident in the case of a young British man. Harry Gregg, who recently committed suicide after fighting in Ukraine, was reportedly motivated by the proclamations of Truss, who described those fighting for Ukraine as participants in a “battle for democracy.”

Putin to Redeploy Troops Along Finland Border in Response to NATO Expansion.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Wednesday that Russia would redeploy troops at its border with Finland.

“We generally had ideal relations with Finland. Simply perfect,” said Putin. “We did not have a single claim against each other, especially territorial, not to mention other areas. We didn’t even have troops; we removed all the troops from there, from the Russian-Finnish border,” he noted. “However, it is up to them to decide. That’s what they decided. But we didn’t have troops there, now we will.”

Putin’s decision is a direct response to Finland’s joining NATO. The Russian leader described Finland’s decision to join the treaty organization — and Sweden’s to do the same — as an “absolutely senseless step from the point of view of ensuring their own national interests.”

In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Putin made clear that Russia’s present tensions with the West — and its military action in Ukraine — came about as a result of NATO expansion. Following the fall of the Soviet Union, the West made explicit promises not to expand the organization. However, NATO has continuously expanded its membership, which now includes nations — like Finland — that border Russia.

Moscow has recently warned on multiple occasions that escalating Western interference in Ukraine could spark a full-scale war in Europe and even nuclear retaliation. Despite these warnings, many Western countries have increased their bellicose posturing towards Russia, risking world peace itself.

Mike Johnson Said WHAT About Ukraine Funding!?

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is finalizing plans for a new bill that aims to increase U.S. funding for Ukraine’s defense measures, deviating from the recently approved $95 billion foreign aid package sent by the Senate. “I think it is a stand-alone, and I suspect it will need to be on suspension,” Johnson told POLITICO in an interview late on Thursday. He also indicated that separating funding for Ukraine and Israel was “under consideration.”

The new proposal could take the form of a potential loan or lend-lease program, an option also pitched by former President Donald Trump last month. The notion borrows a leaf from the playbook of former President Franklin Roosevelt’s early strategy during World War II.

Johnson is also considering a similar model to the REPO Act. Rep. Michael McCaul’s (R-TX) legislation would allow Biden government-seized Russian sovereign assets to be liquidated. The resulting funds would be channeled toward a Ukrainian support fund.

Despite these plans, Johnson indicated that Ukraine funding would be secondary in priority to domestic federal government funding for the remainder of the fiscal year. When asked if he would consider attaching Ukraine funding to the next round of government funding bills due by March 22, he said: “I don’t think leaders of either side of the aisle think that’s a viable option.”

The Republican House Speaker said he remains aligned with the more conservative members of his caucus — though many of those members continue to oppose additional funding for Ukraine. “Philosophically, I’ve always been aligned. It is the tactics that we disagree upon,” Johnson told POLITICO. He added: “I am a lifelong movement conservative, so there’s very little daylight between their core principles and mine. It’s the tactics that we have disagreements upon, but it’s never personal to me.”

Russia Outpacing US & Europe in Artillery Shell Production by 3 to 1.

Russian artillery shell production is outpacing US and European capabilities by a rate of three to one.

According to NATO estimates, Russia is producing artillery munitions at a rate of roughly 250,000 per month, or 3 million a year. Collectively, the US and its European allies only have the capacity to produce roughly 1.2 million artillery munitions per year.

“What we are in now is a production war,” a senior NATO official told CNN. “The outcome in Ukraine depends on how each side is equipped to conduct this war.”

It is a war the West is losing. Although the US military aims to produce 100,000 rounds of artillery a month by the end of 2025, it would still be less than half of Russia’s current output if achieved. Russia is currently firing roughly 10,000 shells a day, compared to the Ukrainian’s 2,000 a day, according to officials.

The news of Russia’s vastly superior production capabilities comes as its forces continue to capitalize on significant victories on the eastern front and push Ukrainian forces westward. While the Ukraine government and its Western supporters appear to want the war to continue no matter the cost, a vast majority of Europeans do not think Ukraine can win. On Saturday, Pope Francis said Ukraine should have the “courage to raise the white flag.”
