China's dtrump test is whether dtrump is talking about Taiwan. He is silent and Taiwan will smoothly be part of China in due time.
And last time dtrump was haranguing with China and world got Covid19. Wish dtrump not to disturb China.

Keep in mind he doesn't have to say anything unless provoked. Doubt China will test his resolve on Taiwan
Oh and what makes you say that?
Smoothly means ROC chooses to join PRC which it was never a part of
How's Hong Kong now, anybody discussion about HK ?
Same way, let us see what time have to show us.

There is no same way. If HK refuses China can send the military. So they had no choice but to accede.
But ROC is an island. Never been a part of the PRC.
It is 100 miles away from the Chinese coast. There is no way for China to take ROC without extensive casualties. Think 100k only kid PLA dead.
Never going to happen
This is what military people experienced in war have told me over twenty years ago. The only people who go on about it are those with no military experience.
Taiwan is already de facto independent and there isn't a thing the PRC can do about it
Since China hasn't said anything about Taiwan. They aren't stupid. Trump hasn't had to say anything.
Also consider the US policy towards Taiwan is that of strategic ambiguity. Which is an interesting Asian way of thinking from a western power. US doesn't expressly say what it will do but the last couple of times there was a straits crisis in the 50s and the late 90s, the US sent a couple of carriers to calm things down. In short its too much of a risk for China to take.

They already made enough statements, even said war it is, if demanded. What more do anyone need ?
It's not 1950 or 1990's golden empire period of USA anymore and they know it. So does China.
So, only time will reveal what's in store. I just don't want one more 'rona, that's all, haha...

Nothing specific since he entered office. That is the part you keep missing.
And Pelosi demonstrated just how empty their threats were by defying the CCP and visiting Taiwan. Significant since she wasn't just any representative but the speaker of the house at the time. If Biden could stand up to China in this way you can expect Trump to be more blatant. So like I said the CCP isn't stupid to try anything.
The exercises the PLAN carried out post her supposed 'provocation' were held so far off the Taiwanese coast that the people in Taiwan weren't even aware they were taking place. So the only purpose & audience for these stunts was for face saving and their own people in China.
This whole talk of war is if Taiwan formally declares independence. But as I said earlier Taiwan is already defacto independent. With their own independent government, flag, military & currency.
And what has been the result. The DPP which is the pro independence party in Taiwan won the elections a year ago. This is their third win for the pro independence party since 2016. Four year terms. So Taiwanese are clearly in no mood for reunification any time soon. In fact what happened in HK made them even more determined that it never happens to them.
US military spending still dwarfs the next ten states after. There has been zero retrenchment of the US from any theatre since the cold war ended. All bases in place and in fact more added since. So this 'golden empire' period you speak of is still alive & kicking.
China hasn't done anything. That should tell you they are still weak & incapable. They are the ones with the grievance. What are they waiting for.
Nothing changes in this area mid to long term. I find amusing that you think China can still get stronger when the reality is they have peaked already and are now in a permanent decline.

Eggs are now the new hottest smuggled item into the US, even more than drugs - The Economic Times
Smuggling of eggs into the U.S. is rising as grocery prices surge and avian flu outbreaks continue. Eggs are being seized at borders, and fines are being levied for unauthorized poultry products. Egg prices in the U.S. have reached record highs, spurring smuggling attempts from Mexico and...
Readiness to do war is specific enough, rather dtrump's statement about Taiwan is not that heard around.
Lol. that coffin perfume smelling zombie didn't make any difference, compared to China's \multiple show of strength circling the island multiple time with that naval ships, fighter planes, flexing the war machine. That moronic team's visit was a mockery of the situation.
Just to show that it's alive.

China are not ready for war at all. Our people at the border can see it just as USN sailors.
She called their bluff outright. They were making all sorts of threats of what would happen if she visited Taiwan.
For a Democrat that was well played at China's expense. Exactly what the region needed to see and understand who the real BOSS is.
China's show of strength was to pretend they could blockade the island which they failed to demonstrate. A very embarrassing display from a paper tiger with a military of little emperors. Military analysts were taking this show apart and wondered whether that was it. It was around ten days and then it melted away.
Other senators followed after Pelosi's visit. I guess this counts as Biden giving China the America test too. Had not considered it before.
It's worth mentioning our NSA was present at the first inauguration of tsai ing wen back in 2016.
They don't need to show they are alive. The FONOPS do that already. The US military frequently either sails or flies closer than the twelve nautical mile limit over any territory China has seized or claims as an outright challenge to China's supposed strength. All the Chinese can do is shadow them. Send warnings they are trespassing and sometimes conduct dangerous manouvers like barrel rolls over American aircraft. US might in the region remains unchallenged as ever.

US is visiting India since last 5 years by sending it's Pacific Commander in chief to New Delhi and asking for more participation of India in Indo-pacific arena. Even we undertake exercises with South eastern countries and Australia in South China sea and Indian Ocean.
It's not easy now for China to intrudes into Taiwan or Philippines because almost every South eastern nation is arming itself with Brahmos cruise missiles and F35s in order to keep China at bay.
Even when US asked us for a autonomous air field and naval base we refused to it but in Philipines, Vietnam & Japan bases were given to US to counter the supremacy and intrusions of China.
A while back even Bangladesh refused to give a base to US due to which it's previous govt was toppled.
We need US and Russia because Russia can influence China by negotiations while US through its military might. So it's s win win scenario for us.
Tulsi Gabbard in India for a 3 day visit
The U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard, now in India, earlier on Monday said the “longtime unfortunate persecution, killing, and abuse of religious minorities like Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, and others has been a major area of concern for the U.S. government and President Trump and his administration."
In an interview with the TV channel, Ms. Gabbard alleged "persecution and killing" of religious minorities in Bangladesh and that "the threat of Islamic terrorists" in the country was "rooted" in the "ideology and objective" to "rule and govern with an Islamist caliphate".
She said U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly begun talks with Bangladesh’s interim government on the issue while “The talks are just beginning between President Trump's new cabinet coming in and the Government of Bangladesh, but this continues to remain a central focus area of concern".
Ms. Gabbard, who arrived in New Delhi on Sunday on a three-day visit, spoke about the ideology of an "Islamic Caliphate" and how extremist elements and terror groups globally aim for such an outcome.
The Interim Government setup under Mohammed Yunus however, said Bangladesh, like many countries around the world, faced challenges of extremism, nor has any intention to establish Islamic Caliphate“ but it has continuously worked in partnership with the international community, including the US, to address these issues through law enforcement, social reforms, and other counterterrorism efforts".

you may say whatever you want, but both of those have happened and will continue to happen in the future ; ),
yeeah Russia sure was looking out for its interests in 2014 ; )
it doesnt work that way my guy, just because you vote to leave a country and annex the land, doesnt mean you can, well unless you are USA, and like I said I'm really glad people like you arent part of the goct in India because if idiots like you were given free reign, PoK would permanently belong to Pakistan because the people vOTeD for iT.
How come idiots like you never read the entire thing y'all love to use as sources, One other idiot on a separate thread did the same thing and could only blubber nonsense once he had to actually read something, but I digress, lemme quote some sections for your perusal since its more than clear that you didnt read it.You have an incomplete understanding of the Memorandum you are quoting
Budapest Memorandum - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
Note the self defense exception?
Yeah, how come the sources or commentators you follow neglect to mention it. Because they disagree with Russia that this is a matter of self defence for Russia.
Who are they to decide what is and isn't self defense or what threatens Russia?
Here's literally the second paragraph from your source
Here are the six terms mentioned in the memorandum for other folks perusal since its clear, you cant read
According to the three memoranda,<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum#cite_note-8"><span>[</span>8<span>]</span></a> Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively removing all Soviet nuclear weapons from their soil, and that they agreed to the following:
Here's one quote from the moron serving as the Russian foreign minister and him getting his ass handed to him
oh I do, it seems like you dont, if you dont consider entire villages being exterminated by Russia, Russian missiles striking civilian settlements. and I can go on and on but you wont get it.
My man here pretending that Operation Blue Star never happened, lmfao, since like the other moron, you think Wikipedia is an acceptable source, lemme quote the para about Operation Blue Star for you
I'll agree with you on this, I am not knowledgeable, hell I am plain ignorant on many matters, but unlike people like you, I dont try to engage in bad faith debates, and bullshit their way out of any argument by cherrypicking sources and ignoring arguments for which you have no answer
Oh, I did but it seems like you didnt
P.S. My apologies to the mods for having to clean up another up of my posts, but one thing I have learned being online is that you need to shut up trolls fast and hard, or they'll keep proliferating and keep spreading mis-information to everyone

Nah, your analogies are still wrong.
As they should. Who is anyone to tell them otherwise. Kudos to Putin for being decisive.
There never was a plebiscite carried out there because Pakistan didn't pull out first. Again wrong analogy.
Oh and 60% of China is illegally annexed. Manchuria, Upper Mongolia, Tibet , East Turkestan and most recently HK.
I have. You have not. Go read my post again. Explains in simple terms what you cannot.
#2 in your post already covers it.
Was it so hard to remove all that formatting crap?
That journalist is wrong. Why did you need to go further and obfuscate things.
I've already said the west doesn't agree with Russia's reasons for self defense. That doesn't mean Russia is in the wrong here. Commiting that much money & treasure shows how serious they are.
Only people getting their asses handed to them are the Uki's and the morons in the collective west who support them.
Great admiration for Sergei Lavrov. He makes his less competent western counterparts appear like the morons they already are. The Russian side has been exceptional right throughout. The Euros in comparison look like a bunch of blundering incompetents.
No you do not. Go look up the definition. Israelis have had this bogus charge thrown at them numerous times as well.
And there are plenty of instances of Uki's using artillery on the people of the Donbas beforehand already. Your point is?
That's not an accurate comparison. Blue star was on a fortified compound that was illegally taken. You really should listen to the officer commanding who was interviewed a while ago on Smitha Prakash podcast.
In comparison the Uki's used all manner of attacks on open population centres.
Yeah, big difference. Innocent civilians indiscriminately attacked IN THE OPEN vs a bunch of determined terrorists holed up in a temple in clear violation of the rules of war. Just like Hamas does and then wonder why their schools, hospitals and mosques are attacked.
Doesn't stop you wasting people's time does it.
This is the usual bleating when you get called out.
Nah, you didn't. You just doubled down on an already weak hand.
I'm stating Russia's official position on this matter. They are the ones being trolled.
They have taken the extreme step after eight years of western arrogance and stonewalling.
Trump has seen the collective folly of taking on Russia and is trying to fix things. I wish him well in this regard. We might actually see some light at the end of the tunnel. And this democrat blunder of 'project Ukraine' put to rest for good.

When did US stance towards Pakistan change? I think it's after Osama got killed in Abottabad right?
Even then Obama did not stop funding pakistan I think so. I think Trump did in his 1st term. Then Pakistan went begging with UAE. Afterwards they became bankrupt. Did Biden fund them using USAID? Like Hillary was doing using Biden for Bangladesh. Now since everything came out what Hillary did from 1990s Yunus tried to delete all evidence of his posts and other links to her now saying that he is a modern Gandhi.
Tulsi Gabbard said what Trump wants to say about the bloodshed of minorities in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is becoming the new pakistan.
Even our Intelligence guys were saying Hamas has entered POK. Now we have or we must expect trouble unless Trump gives a speech of the present volatile situation on our both sides.
But he is keeping mum. But Trump told the reporters when Modi visited him saying that Modi will take care of Bangladesh issue. So the ball is in our court now. With this Tulsi Gabbard visit we have seen what is going to happen next.

Yeah, who can forget his new years day speech calling them liars in 2019?
This was the day I became a Trump fan and realised along with his anti China stance that things were improving for us. And all those against him were full of it.
What trouble? We're not in the 90s anymore. What can Hamas do in PoK? Are they familiar with the terrain. No.
So the RR will dispatch Hamas faster than the Israelis
Yeah
What this proves is the enormous media bias against Trump, Musk & Vance.A bit old but I think it still counts.

Trump gives Pakistan's F-16 a nearly $400 million boost; What it means for the debt ridden nation
Despite a sweeping 90-day freeze on foreign aid, US President Donald Trump has approved $397 million for Pakistan to sustain its F-16 fighter jets for counter-terrorism efforts. This move contrasts with his earlier decision to halt security assistance to Islamabad in 2018. The funds are part of...
U.S. decision to 'allocate' funds for Pakistan's F-16 maintenance raises questions: Congress
Congress questions Modi government's diplomatic strategy amid US military aid to Pakistan, urging reassessment of foreign policy priorities.
Don't need much to worry about these people in PoK, they will run of of interest very quickly, they have a general disdain against their asian versions, culture. climate conflict, etc. And in case any issue happens, India will first vaporize them without any consideration.
