‘INVASION ASSURED’: Analyst says China set to storm Taiwan

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan is now certain, according to a prominent international market analyst. “(That’s) because the only way China can now restore its chip manufacturing is by going to the largest chip manufacturing plant in the world: Taiwan.”The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is the world’s most valuable chip manufacturer, reportedly accounting for more than 56% of global market share. “With that much dominance in a market that most electronic devices and parts rely on, Taiwan could help China have more power,” MacIntosh said. “He opened with the statement that the control of Hong Kong is now ‘complete’ and that ‘Taiwan is next,'” MacIntosh said. “As a result, pretty much every American executive and engineer working in China’s semiconductor manufacturing industry resigned this last week, paralyzing Chinese manufacturing overnight.

Invasion of Ukraine revives nuclear warfare nightmare

Invasion of Ukraine revives nuclear warfare nightmareThe military stalemate in Ukraine has heightened fears Russia might resort to using its nuclear arsenalPARIS - Banished from public consciousness for decades, the nightmare of nuclear warfare has surged back to prominence with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, highlighting the erosion of the Cold War global security architecture. "It's the first time a nuclear power has used its status to wage a conventional war under the shadow cast by nuclear weapons," said Camille Grand, a former NATO deputy secretary-general. Russian TV broadcasts since the invasion of Ukraine have repeatedly discussed nuclear strikes on Western cities like Paris or New York. Washington, Seoul and Tokyo all believe a seventh nuclear weapons test by Pyongyang is imminent. The invasion of a state that willingly gave up nuclear weapons, Ukraine, by its nuclear-armed neighbour has increased fears of proliferation.

Turkey’s pending Syria invasion motivated by politics, not security concerns, experts say

Turkey’s impending invasion of northern Syria likely results from “political reasons” rather than a national security need, and it remains unclear how officials will declare “mission success,” experts told Fox News Digital. Authorities arrested a woman of Arab-Syrian background whom they linked to the People’s Defense Units (YPG) and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). But recent signs indicate that Turkey and Syria have started working toward thawing that icy dynamic. In September, Turkey’s intelligence chief held multiple meetings with his Syrian counterpart as Russia encouraged more cooperation between the two countries. “And he’s also extremely aware that he has become too dependent on Putin and Russia.”Reuters contributed to this report.
