US analysts predict war with China

According to the publication, citing the opinion of the former Assistant Secretary of Defense of the United States, Elbridge Colby, in the near future, the Americans may begin a large-scale diplomatic, economic and military clash with the PRC. After that, the failure of the US mission in Afghanistan will seem like flowers.

"Relations between China and the United States are rapidly deteriorating and may lead to war", - quoted by the publication Inosmi.

Colby believes that if the United States intends to secure Taiwan's independence from China, then it should now prepare for a possible landing on the island.

Colby believes that Vietnam may side with the United States.

The reason for the publication calling on the Americans to "restore hegemony" was terrifying footage of the flight of American citizens from the Kabul airport after the Taliban came to power *.

The staff was so wounding that the US Department of Veterans Affairs, expecting that the experience could lead to catastrophic consequences, took measures to prevent suicide among US citizens: “Veterans may question the value of their service, wonder about the value of the sacrifices they made. They may experience more moral suffering. "

For Colby, the idealistic pricks of conscience and Afghanistan are "secondary to the real military, economic and diplomatic actions that lie ahead."

He connects all these challenges with China. Colby wrote The Strategy of Denial, in which he proposes a military strategy against China.

“Colby's book is impassive and sinister. He wants the Americans to prepare for a war with China over Taiwan, because this can prevent China's invasion of the island, and if it fails, then only American military intervention, he believes, can keep Taiwan free, ”notes Inosmi.

According to Colby, the rapid build-up of Chinese military capabilities makes a Chinese invasion of Taiwan possible, and the consequences of such a step are "dire." After that, the laws of the economic order in the world will be established "clearly not by the United States, but by China".

The analyst believes that in order to maintain supremacy, the United States will have to defend or recapture the island. His opinion is based on publications in the Chinese state media that appeared after the capture of Kabul by the Taliban *:

"From what is happening in Afghanistan, the Taiwanese should understand that as soon as a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, the collapse of the island's defense will be a matter of several hours, and the US military will not come to the rescue," The New Yorker quoted the Chinese state publication Global Times as saying.

Colby believes that in any conflict with China, Washington will have to cooperate with Asian countries (Vietnam, possibly Malaysia or Indonesia), the model of governance in which the US leadership may not like.

“China has been building up its strength for a quarter of a century. In this decade, the time for problems has come, ”the analyst believes, convinced that the United States is not ready for a new war on the eastern front.

George Soros partly agrees with Colby. “Both countries are diametrically opposed systems of governance. Relations between China and the US are rapidly deteriorating and could lead to war, ”he wrote in his Wall Street Journal article last week.

According to analysts, US involvement in Afghanistan is ending, while militancy towards China is growing.

“Soon we may again face statements about the need for war”, - The New Yorker quotes the opinions of experts.
