China ups ante as US support bolsters Taiwan
Beijing likely fears Taipei's ultimate goal is to gain US and wider Western recognition as a sovereign state
by Richard Javad Heydarian
https://asiatimes.com/2020/08/china-...lsters-taiwan/
The Chinese state-backed Global Times described the large-scale exercises as a “clear and unprecedented deterrence toward secessionists of the island as well as the US, as the Trump administration has increased its links with the Taiwan secessionist authority, and the possibility of peaceful reunification is decreasing sharply.”

Don't think anybody reads this stuff anyway Peat, missing my old Time magazines.
Maybe I should run a short course in getting round pay wall restrictions by deleting the cookies of the Web page.
Firefox works best of the browsers, or just clear the browser cookies when closing the browser to reset them...

Strongmen autocrat dictators rely on support from the security services and the military to retain their position. Since Lukashenko hasn't gone full-mental-Assad, it's only a matter of time now.
After the rebuff to President Putin over the "amalgamation" proposal, there's not likely to be much support coming from the east. but what might come from the west?
Perhaps Russia's preferred option might be a second Ukraine. Permanent political paralysis preventing closer relations with the EU and NATO? Which, of course, begs the question what might Russia's least preferred future for Belarus look like?
