The Ministry of National Defense (MND) announced on the 28th that troops have been ordered to shoot down drones that do not take heed to the warnings from Taiwan. This announcement comes after China released footage from their drones snooping on Taiwanese military bases.
According to the Taiwan Times, ‘the Kinmen Defense Command stated that in accordance with standard operating procedures, the troops fired warning flares at the drone and maintained surveillance and a high state of alertness. It then vowed that when future drone intrusions occur, the Army will take necessary countermeasures to “drive away” the drones, such as sounding whistles, broadcasting radio warnings, and firing signal flares, but if the UAV fails to leave, it will be “shot down.”‘
It was then revealed that a day after Taiwan published their warning, troops reportedly fired at Chinese drone that was getting too close.
The Taiwan Times wrote,
The Army’s Kinmen Defense Command (KDC) at 9 p.m. on Tuesday stated that starting at 4:23 p.m. that afternoon, three batches of three “civilian” drones each were detected flying over Dadan Island, Erdan Island, and Shi Islet, respectively in Kinmen County’s Lieyu Township. After being warned by Taiwanese soldiers with signal flares, the UAVs flew away from the islands and in the direction of China’s Xiamen.
At 5:59 p.m., another drone entered the airspace over the restricted waters of Erdan Island again. Taiwanese troops again issued warnings in accordance with procedures.
However, because the drone continued to circle over the island, soldiers fired “defensive shots” at the drone to drive it away. The UAV then flew away in the direction of Xiamen at 6 p.m. and the KDC will “continue to maintain vigilance and closely monitor the situation,” the statement read.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[7] And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.Mark 13:7-8
Obviously this is only stirring the boiling pot some more. Will China eventually ‘invade’ Taiwan? I would think so, but right now it is still in the rumor stage, but all of America’s and NATO’s posturing is not good – which is putting it quite mild.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

2023 may be very interesting. I predict the beginning of world war 3
I believe you’re right, Daniel.
Yeah, next year is going to be ‘something,’ the way I see things forming across all sectors and fronts…
Yes it will be something else for sure brother
WHAM! Tensions just went from 50 to 10,000! War with China and Taiwan are getting provoked further and further.
Your last video really opened me up to just how much of a fraud Philip Newton is. I was fooled by him not realising how messed up his teachings on liberty was, and didn’t pay attention to how he was leaching on your and Bryans’s videos or aware of what the bible teaches on leaching.
Thanks for exposing him, now I know to avoid that guy so I don’t get messed up by him or anyone else. All the best!
You are welcome. There are other things I know about him that I had learned about him prior to making the video, but was asked to conceal that info for now. But I can tell you that he is an apathetic jerk. I could not stomach to watch his response video, but from what I heard, he just continues to pretend there’s been zero wrong-doing on his end and just throws my points right back at me. Be that is it may, glad you see him for what he is. Thanks for reaching out.
No problem
Some ministries are so blatantly false that anyone with a brain can see past them, like Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland etc…
Then there are clowns like Robert Breaker, Gene Kim, Philip Newton etc, who look extremely legit until you break them down. I also liked RB until I watched one of your videos you showed that he preached against Romans 10, which outright shows he is false. Keep up the good work!
