      "And you're sure this will help Taiwan?"

      "...Taiwan?"

      Probably don't even need to bomb. Our troops were stationed there for a few decades, and CIA Taiwan's entire existence. I'm sure the Gladio cells are just waiting for the signal to begin the slaughter and terror campaigns in the wake of Chinese reunification. New York Times will then blame it on china and show it as a reason we need to intervene.

    This has gotta be a westerner caping for Taiwan. Saying "we will" like he's involved at all

        Seems like a bad plan if the language is banned and no one is allowed to learn it, if such was the case.

    My understanding is that the way three gorges is constructed it would be very difficult to damage with conventional explosives. You'd need to hit it with rather large nukes in the right places to reliably bring it down.

    Is this related to taiwan or is this some rando murican in la with delusions? How would Taiwan even to to Xinjiang to arm anyone?

      Being able to arm the Uighurs to march on Beijing and effect regime change was one of the big arguments for staying in Afghanistan forever. Boy were they pissed when the war was over.

      Calling Xinjiang "Uyghur" instead of "East Turkestan" or whatever means this person is 100% a hamburgeroid.

      The yanks would be doing the arming of terrorist groups in Xinjiang and Tibet, not the losers on Taiwan.

      It doesn't really matter, because getting munitions several thousand miles with pinpoint accuracy isn't something Taiwan is equipped to do. They're have better luck directly bombarding Beijing or Shanghai. At least those are relatively coastal.

      If Taiwan's big move is to bombard Three Gorges, why is a Chinese invasion even considered a threat?

      During the war in Ukraine I chatted with a liberal friend, who was very angry about the Russian attacks on electricity infrastructure and the grid. Calling it war crimes and it is understandable that one is angry at war crimes. Now the funny thing is that the very same person was also arguing in how in fighting China attacks on damns are fine, that attacks in other regions are fine etc. Plenty of those things were war crimes according to the very same definitions used for the Ukraine situation, however the dis-congruity didn't track.

    Taiwan won't do any of that shit, this is hopium slash bluffing. but China has no reason to invade anyway

      Yup. The moment China starts anything, they get cut off from the source of oil in the middle east. They then have two months of supplies before their entire country grinds to a halt like a Chevy with no motor oil.

    tangential anecdote

    I overheard a couple chuds I know talking about "authoritarianism", and eventually one brought up "that protest in china back in 1986 or something", the other replied with "the one with the guy and the tank?" "yeah that one"

    neither of them could even name the event (tiananmen square) yet it shapes how they view the world...

      Never met any person in the U.S. who both hates China and can name two gov. figures other than Xi Jinping.
