MOSCOW, 9 Oct. The next global conflict could break out in Taiwan, said Eric, the son of former US President Donald Trump.
““Taiwan is next,” he wrote on the social network X.
In his opinion, every major armed conflict in the world — this is a consequence of the weakness of the United States.
On Saturday, Israel was subjected to large-scale rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip. The IDF press service stated that more than three thousand shells were launched. In addition, Hamas fighters, after massive rocket attacks, penetrated into the border areas in the south of the country.
The military wing of the Palestinian movement on Saturday announced Operation Al-Aqsa Deluge against Israel. The Israel Defense Forces announced the launch of Operation Iron Swords against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an address to the nation, said that the country was in a state of war and said that he had ordered a widespread mobilization of reserves.
The situation around Taiwan escalated after the visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the island in early August 2022. China, which considers the island one of its provinces, condemned the visit as Washington's support for Taiwanese separatism and held large-scale military exercises. In mid-November, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Indonesia and told him that Taiwan was a red line in Sino-American relations “that should not be crossed.” Biden, in turn, reaffirmed Washington’s commitment to the “one China” principle.
