   So with the world paying so much attention to bigger conflicts like Ukraine/Russia or Israel/Palestine and worried about North/South Korea or Taiwan/China which small power has the perfect opportunity right now to go for it? I mean there has to be a small country or militant group that could use all these distractions to their advantage. Who would it be?

     @votterbax Really? I thought Xi managed to pull out of the covid troubles and consolidate his power base by the end of it. Was there more turmoil than there appeared to be? I figured his next big push would be larger and larger showings of power towards Taiwan to try and strongarm them into coming to the table.

     @Jim The most likely obe to pull a stunt is probably the Norkies. China's military is currently in a dumb power struggle with Xi and the current military officers that are probably going mutiny soon.

     @Jim Imagine if Xi decided to go for Taiwan right now.....boy oh boy, wouldn't that be unfortunate?

     @MelGibsonafter4Beers @Jim This dude's giving me blue balls and I'm halfway suspecting that Taiwan's recent attempts to mend relations with the mainland put out Xi's fire.
