    Of course, Americans would love to turn Taiwan into another Ukraine, but I doubt you'll get your ghoulish wish in the end.

      Taiwan doesn’t want China to invade, so they buy weapons from the US and other countries, and also have developed domestic missiles to strike at Chinese cities in case of invasion.

      Don’t know what to tell you.

      If anything Ukraine has hardened the Taiwanese stance, and showed them what an ounce of prevention is worth. I expect the next order of weapons to be even larger, because nobody actually wants another Ukraine.

        We'll just wait and see what happens in the next election in Taiwan won't we. DPP isn't exactly popular last I checked, and once US loses its puppet regime then the whole gig is up.

          I like how you refer to the fact most Taiwanese people want to either retain the current situation or gain further independence as a "gig". Strong tankie vibes.

            I like you pretend to speak for Taiwanese people without having a clue about internal politics of Taiwan and the effect of influence US there via things like NED. 🤡

                What does that prove exactly, there are obviously lots of people in Taiwan who simp the west. US spent vast amounts of money cultivating them.

                  It's true that Taiwan is full of burger simps, but they're a lot easier for libs to believe than any amount of evidence. Anecdotes aren't evidence, but they have a way of making people their better than evidence.
