Taiwan Will Be The Next Ukraine. A Compromise Is Needed To Stop Neocon Escalation | David T. Pyne

The US seems dead set on going to war with China. What the neocons have learned from Ukraine is that you can fight a very profitable proxy war without sacrificing a single US soldier. This model has been highly beneficial for Washington—according to their own generals. It is highly likely that the US will try to duplicate the approach with China by pushing Taiwan into an open knife. But what would be the end game? And how can this be averted if a less sanguine administration came to power? Listen to this talk by David Pyne and Pascal on the potential for deescalating the conflict along realistic lines and a compromise. David Pyne is a former U.S. Army combat arms and Headquarters staff officer, who was in charge of armaments cooperation with the former Soviet Union and other regions. He currently serves as Deputy Director of National Operations for the Task Force on National and Homeland Security.
