The Americans are plotting to bait Taiwan as they did to Zelensky to engage China. The US Neo-cons are planning to destabilize the Indo-Pacific using proxy again.

Americans intend to gaslight Taipei using the methods used to control Volodymyr Zelensky as a tool against Russia.

Based on a story by the New York Times that is setting up the Republic of China (ROC) to fight the same war in Ukraine against China. The outlet's report on Tuesday mentioned the involvement of US officials in applying it in the Indo-Pacific.

Destabilizing the Indo-Pacific for US Hegemony

Washington's new strategy honed in on providing Taiwan with asymmetric defense capabilities to help it stave off a far more powerful force, reported RT.

Recent Taiwanese purchases show that Washington is beginning to use the method covertly. Arms ordered are F-16s, anti-ship missiles better for defense, but no request for Abrams MBTs and MH-60R Seahawk helicopters were not allowed.

Analysts told the outlet that future defense deals would be smart mines, ship killer cruise missiles, cyber security, special forces, and air defense platforms. This explanation came from James Stavridis, former four-star admiral.

One of the crucial weapons that US officials think is needed by Taiwan is Stingers, land-based Harpoon ship-killers. Just Like Kyiv, the US might share intelligence with the island enclave. The outlet added is the aim to Taiwan into what some officials call a 'porcupine' due to arms it has in abundance, including US support that will deter attack, noted Hi India.

An increase of US arms abroad in the past ten years, from 2010, about more than $23 billion in arms sales to Taiwan was mentioned in a 2021 Pentagon report.

In 2020, the Americans allowed arms deals for Taiwan to do a Zelensky, costing about $5 billion in total. The deal included advanced arms sales, including drones, missiles, and artillery.

US Is Turning the Indo-Pacific Into a Powder Keg

Despite the successes of Russia in Ukraine and the failed strategy of economic sanctions, if China raided Taiwan. Though Ukraine did not go as planned, these US officials still wanted to do it. It seems that Washington is not sure of going all out for support, remarked officials and analysts.

Director of the Asia program, Bonnie Glaser answered the question of what stop or provokes China that it's a no; also, the Biden administration is willing to be reckless about it, cited Up Jobs News.

Trump Dropped the US Plans

Former President Donald Trump's administration thought of stationing US troops in Taiwan, and the White House and Pentagon also considered sending a high-level military delegation to the island. But the idea was too dangerous, so the Trump administration dropped it but was taken up by his predecessor.

Last Monday, a gaffe by President Joe Biden made it clear that the US will fight China if it attacks the island. Furthermore, he added that Washington commits Taiwan.

Beijing issued an angry statement that warned the President not to challenge its resolve to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The White House again did damage control, saying the policy did not change; this gaffe was spun to show it's about providing arms.

China has been buzzing Taiwan's airspace and sea territory because the island is part of Beijing's reach. Americans are plotting to use Taiwan as they did Zelensky, which has resulted in the wreck of Ukraine; the Indo-Pacific is the next region that the Biden administrations and is Neo-cons want to destabilize allegedly next.
