Foreign Politics or: how i learned to stop worrying and love the parliamentary democracy

Know what? Good for him! I always said that wannabe dictator got a raw deal when he made all the worst choices for his country and didn't even get as fabulously wealthy as your standard issue Jareds and Donalds.

Sometimes you run the playbook perfectly and leave it all out there on the field, discriminating against the native populations, burning the amazon, giving the worst COVID advice outside of Facebook, and things still don't work out. It's okay, Jair. There's always another game.

This is an act of belligerency against a foreign nation, but I am sure we are all happy with that.

The return of US troops to Taiwan is literally why this issue exists and continues to. Make a problem, and blame the other side for said problem you made.

Was sending troops to Hawaii or to Normandy an act of belligerentlce too?

Taiwan can do whatever the fuck they want, and China can suck their humongous balls if they have a problem with it.

And this is why wars happen/continue.

Glad to know you're cool then with another country just deciding, oh hey, you belong to us now whether you like it or not. But then again, you've also been willing to handwave millions of deaths to protect your communist utopia.

Yeah because assholes try to claim other countries as part of their own.

If China didn't want our troops in Taiwan then they shouldn't be so aggressive in their rhetoric with us at the same time they threaten Taiwan's independence

It's always amusing in the worst way to see an island that was protected from the resolution of a decided civil war by the US. Suddenly declared an independent country that needs to be protected because it fucks another nation that doesn't submit to the US's world order.
Self-determination is only valid when the US determines it.

Ahh yes, cause Taiwan should have just started licking China's boot like a good little boy.

The irony of this statement.

Well, of course if you're a smaller country under threat of being taken over for the last few decades, and quite literally the only thing stopping China from doing that is partnering with the US, of course they are going to fucking do it.

Point is we have a situation that was only caused by involvement into a civil war by the US. To undermine/coerce China, and continues to be a source of conflict today purely to undermine a country that won't submit to Washington. There is no protecting democracy or any other "good guy" dog whistling here.

You see a pattern of this today from a US legacy of destabilizing regions it can't control and causing lasting conflict and war. China, Korea, and luckily Vietnam was able to overcome or otherwise it be divided and unstable to this day. There are others, but the big three is enough. We can bitch about China all we want, but ignoring that pattern of US led atrocity in the context of the island of Taiwan isn't reasonable.

Of course, if China wasn't actively trying to take over a sovereign nation, we wouldn't be there. But please, keep licking that Chinese boot and making excuses for them.

This is a dismissal instead of a response to what I just said. We can make up facts out of spite, but they aren't a sovereign nation no matter how much it wants to be asserted to suit a narrative. Saying that doesn't acknowledge the situation, the problem, and how we got here.

[kuronosan]

I guess any nation needs to formally declare sovereignty after stealing the land from previous owners by conquering then decisively.

Then we can call them sovereign.
