The Israel-Gaza war is “taking away the focus” from the conflict in Ukraine, the country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has admitted.
He said this was “one of the goals” of Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
And he denied that fighting in Ukraine had reached a stalemate, despite a recent assessment to this effect by the country’s top military general.
Ukraine’s counter-offensive in the south has so far made little headway.
This has prompted fears of war fatigue among Kyiv’s Western allies, with suggestions of growing reluctance in some capitals to continue giving Ukraine advanced weapons and funds.

The number of opportunities they have to actually pull it off are so few and far between just from demographics, geography, and meteorology alone, that you can count with two hands the exact number of days between now and when the window will basically close permanently when they could even hypothetically make an attempt at it without cursing their entire invasion force to the bottom of the sea before they even encounter a defensive line.
Not to mention the rumours that Taiwan has developed a non-nuclear MAD doctrine which would allow them to instantly turn 400,000,000 Chinese citizens into refugees by blowing the 3 gorges dam. A scenario that would require China to turn any deployed forces right around to institute martial law.
Their best bets are;
a) when Trump is convicted
b) when Trump wins
c) when Trump loses
All three of those provide a large enough window where the US will be too busy to stop them
While it’s not telling what the US will do afterwards the question is would they rather have a defensive or offensive position
How about you try to prove a positive instead of asking for a source to prove something isn’t going to happen, debatelord
True, you can’t prove a negative, but at the same time that person made a firm statement, so someone else’s totally in the right to ask for citation to backup what they said.
They could have supplied quotes from Chinese leaders stating that they were never going to invade, etc.
Anyone who asks someone to prove a prediction is categorically an idiot
Nobody asked for “proof of a prediction”, but to back up their opinions that they are expressing as facts with some actual facts.

No, they meant credible sources. ESPN is a more credible source than the US military.
Oh yes, the U.S. military… pretty much the last people in the world you should trust.
Element of truth to that wild comment, so I’ll let it pass.
Uhh, a passing acquaintance with reality?
Let us know by what time you think China will invade Taiwan.
When that year comes and the invasion doesn’t happen, either admit you’re wrong or double-down.
By 2080 either China will invade Taiwan or have a completely different government. There is no way the CCP doesn’t invade Taiwan by then
I predict that by the time I’m dead and no one can tell me I was wrong…
Cool. I guess most of us will be dead by then, so we never really get to see if you’re right or wrong.
Great argument.
Argument?
