So to summarise, that US general is correct. This Republican is also correct
No. They are colossally out to lunch.
History repeats, because the Americans are too stoned on football to remember what happened before in the past.
Remember when the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union collapsed?
No one in those CIA and other American intelligence agencies saw that coming.
NO ONE!
The CIA never anticipated the collapse of the Soviet Union.
So what happened next?
The CIA the had to compensate, the CIA started to predict that China will collapse soon. They kept that act up for the next few years. Then Comrade Chang grabbed that mantle, and took it to new heights!
Look at what happened last year and this year.
The Americans did not expect a full invasion of Ukraine by the Russians.
Russia launched their special military operations. The CIA got that all wrong.
So to compensate, just like in the past, the Americans now claim China will invade Taiwan!
The CIA covering their ass. The CIA covering up their own incompetence.
This is just a repeat of the past. Almost exact.
As for their predictions, did the PRC collapse? More like the opposite happened. That shows what all this CIA talk is worth.
