"Trump says he would impose tariffs on China if China went into Taiwan​

WASHINGTON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would impose additional tariffs on China if China were to "go into Taiwan," the Wall Street Journal reported.
"I would say: If you go into Taiwan, I'm sorry to do this, I'm going to tax you, at 150% to 200%," the former U.S. president was quoted as saying in an

Trump, asked if he would use military force against a blockade on Taiwan by China, said it would not come to that because Chinese President Xi Jinping respected him."

That would be the easiest island takeover imaginable. People would be celebrating and then cursing for why we didn't do it way sooner. If Trump had said this earlier, I wouldn't have missed voter registration deadline and I'd have voted for him!

"SEAL Team 6 is said to be training for a fight with China over Taiwan. Here's what it could do if Beijing invades.

  • SEAL Team 6 is reportedly readying for a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
  • SEAL Team 6's small size and skillsets likely limit its role, though it would still have a part.
  • "You don't use a scalpel for a job a hammer can do," a former SEAL said"

Their role is this article. If thinking they might be there slows down the PLA advance by any amount, if they manage to complicate China war-planning at all to account for them, that's what they managed to accomplish. No one EVER announces that they will send their elite secret forces on a mission and then actually puts them there. SEALS are all about stealth and surprise. Forget about top global militaries like China; if a SEAL team mission is tipped off and caught out by anyone including Bin Laden's bodyguards, they'd all be dead.

They'll probably do what they do best: commit war crimes against the locals, then write a book about how it gave them PTSD and makes them sad because 4th of July fireworks causes them to murder-suicide their families.

Interms of wealth these BRICS countries are far more wealthier than liberal democracies and this what publicly can be measured. you have to differentiate between BRICS and BRICS summit at Kazan. This Ukraine question from Saudi journalist that they put in separate tweet is this summit is all about. I dont mean just topic of Ukraine but how to enhance that part of Arabic soft power further using this summit.

Abu Dhabi, often referred to as the "Capital of Capital," also leads when it comes to human capital i.e., the number of personnel employed by SWFs of that jurisdiction, with 3,107 staff working for funds based in the city.

I remember seeing someone test the FC30 carrying capacity and they managed to get it to lift about 100KG (Which is over its recommended carrying capacity). The biggest risk is burning out the ESCs'. Also pretty much all of DJI's large commercial drones have radars on board. Also I remember seeing a video set in Russia of a T40 being equipped with ATGM's for testing, It ended up being far too unstable for it to be used reliably. You might need a custom desgined platform for it to work properly. But I do agree a relatively small drone with ATGMs would cause some issues for invading forces, But wouldn't it be better to train them to use kamikaze drones? Smaller, cheaper, faster and can be equipped with a wide variety of munitions. They would be easier to maintain as well.

DJI is also world leading in camera stabilization technology. Recent developments in Ukraine has shown that EW disrupting kamikaze drones have gotten much better. Loitering kamikaze drones do still have better endurance than the T-series. Different specs for different missions.

Maybe China doesn't really care if they commit war crimes on frogs. But they should maintain acceptable conduct when battling the PLA and handling government-friendly civilians. After all, it's their life and, their family, the people from the place that sent/aided/supplied them who are on the line.

Many US soldiers may be self hating psychopaths who don't value their own lives, so they may as well act against self preservation. Ultimately, the heaviest price will be paid by those who supported the US criminals.

Multipolarity doesn't have to be specifically anti-Western or pro-Russia to reduce Western hegemony. Just it's existence is useful to China as a counterweight to Western hegemony.
