Hi Richard,
My art is intentionally ambiguous. Some will see it as insulting to Douglas MaCarthur and complimentary to Xi or vice versa.
To me, it is my answer to Magritte's Treachery of Images, but not intended to refute. Much of modern art is disconnected from our day-to-day reality. There is no "Treachery" in my symbol of a specific pipe, which carries more implications than an actual pipe.
Locally, I am seeing an increase in military exercises in preparations for invasion. I have no 'inside' information. Some in the US military report increased concerns, which influence my perception.
24.03.21 Dare Mister David Jaap (aka Jadaway), ... & so,.... just exactly what are you saying? & or just exactly what are you seeing???? Is President Xi Jinping the next equivalent to General Douglas MacArthur in terms of the Pacific?...& is Taiwan or Alaska or Hawaii the next Phillipines???...Given your locale & insight--- I, for one, am inclined to suspect you know what's going on. Huh? Richard
This is a fantastic stamp. I really like the concept too. I'll be sure to look for it next time I visit the post office. ;)

The USPS and the PRC postal service will now be offering the new, prelude to WW III commemorative stamp. On sale soon, just before armageddon. Supplies will be in limited supply after military action begins...
