Hello John and Doves,
Add this article by Gordon Chang to my other Doves
letters on China, Russia today - especially noting the
increase in Chinese nationals coming into the U.S.
now. China is on the move and has a new and improved
security agreement with Russia.
China in
Cuba:
Here's an article by Gordon G. Chang - expert on
everything Chinese. I've been following his
interviews and articles for several years now.
In this article he wrote that Chinese war planners
see nukes as 'offensive weapons' - to "compel
submission". "In other words, China thinks it can
prevent others from coming to the aid of, say Taiwan, by
threatening nuclear destruction of their homelands."
Chang asks why would China want silos in Cuba?
"short flight times, less warning time."
"All this means that, thanks to Cuba, a war in Asia
will be fought on, near, and over the American homeland -
perhaps with nukes."
China is establishing a "joint military training
facility" with Cuba on the Cuban island.
Chinese leverage in Central and South America is
allowing china to build "military installations that can
be used to attack the American homeland or the U.S.
military, should China launch its invasion of Taiwan,
Japan or some other target. China, for instances, is
developing what looks like a naval base at the tip of
Argentina, at strategic Tierra del Fuego."
Also, China's container port in the Bahamas could
host Chinese naval vessels. It's located 90 miles
from Palm Beach. And with the connections between
Cuba and China, China could have substantial forces in
Cuba - 94 miles from Key West.
Cuba could be a base "for projecting and
facilitating massive cyberattacks and espionage operations
while working with Cuba's formidable intelligence services
to undertake a range of 'wet' operations, from
assassinations to attacks on U.S. installations, even
civilian facilities such as gas stations," said
Richard Fisher of the International Assessment and
Strategy Center to this publication."
Additionally, China 'could deploy anti-ship cruise
missiles in Cuba both to hit U.S. Navy bases in Florida
and block the movement of American vessels. China
might also put surface-to-air missiles on Cuba,
potentially to shoot down planes over the southeast United
States."
"How about a second Cuban Missile Crisis, this time
with the Chinese instead of the Soviets? China's
leaders are brazen, as the spy balloon incident of January
and February suggests. Would they deploy ballistic
missiles and other weaponry there?
"Fisher thinks they will. "In the medium term,
look for China to facilitate Cuba's acquisition of
ballistic missiles, which will at a minimum force a U.S.
defensive response that will tie down the U.S. military,
reducing U.S. changes of success in other theaters," he
says."
Ballistic missiles can carry nuclear warheads.
"Periodically throughout this century, China's
generals and civilians have made unprovoked threats to
incinerate American cities. American presidents have
brushed off the warnings, ignoring the hostile words."
"The Chinese military is moving swiftly. The
PLA, in three separate fields in the northern part of the
country, is building at least 250 and perhaps as many as
360 silos, which appear designed to take the DF-41
missile. A DF-41 has a maximum range of 9,300 miles
- putting all of America in range from those three
locations - and can carry, some believe, 10 warheads
apiece."
"The rapid
buildup, therefore suggests the Chinese military is
building an offensive "war-fighting" capability."
U.S. missile defenses - and radars - "are currently
oriented to attacks from over the Arctic, from the
north. Cuba gives China venues for southern
attacks."
China could 'blackmail' the U.S. with tactical
nuclear threats on American cities - 'stay out of Taiwan -
or else'. Also, with their new
friend Russia - they could do the same thing with
Israel." This would keep the U.S. and other
countries out of the Gog and Magog War.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!!
Maranatha.
