China announces "Targetted Military Operations" around Taiwan . . .

That phrase is very similar to Russian claims in Feb.

My reading is that they'll throw their weight around a bit but will avoid things leading to bonafide war.
My hope is Taiwan doesn't respond in kind; then this can go away like the 'almost war' btw Iran and US in 2020(?).
My fear is that Taiwan also acts aggressively then this thing escalates into another Ukraine.

US provoking a mess knowing they wont be affected.
