Just thinking out loud. Several of us know that Russia and China are going to make a move eventually. This has been a long and well thought out plan. The idea of inciting Islam against the west was encouraged by the Soviets back in the 60's with the take over of Iran being the first fruits of it. Arming Iran with nukes and the rest of the nations against Israel and drawing the US into the fray was also part of the plan.
 
I believe there is hoarding and holding of rice as part of the plan against Taiwan by China. I believe China will blockade Taiwan after the Olympics and will therefore draw a quick response from the US. And that will be it for us as the Soviets give us the sucker punch.
 
Taiwan would not last too long with a blockade, especially with a shortage of rice.
