If one desires peace, then one prepares for war.

[@briankepner7569]

😮 You mean like the signed Minsk two agreements that would have settled the entire conflict before one Russian soldier entered Ukraine? That agreement. Or how about not overthrowing the government and letting a weak government form? You mean that that solution. Or how about not goed an entire citizenry of a nation to believe that the existential threat to that nation is some foreign power that is far away and complex and hard to understand because your citizenry have been told they are the enemy since world war II. It takes two to tango and I'm not saying anything other than we're not given the correct history and situation where being told what some governmental organization wants us to believe

The Lindsey Grahams and Joe Biden’s are so brilliant.

Taiwan is a free country! We must protect free countries from bullies.

The quote about deterrence was actually said by the Peter Sellers character, ‘Dr Strangelove.'

[@stubeast4031]

It's a pipe dream to think we're capable of defending Taiwan in our current state.

[@carnakthemagnificent336]

The current "state" of the US is about to improve.

The Chips are designed in the US & the Chip machines are made & controlled by the Netherlands. The real Chip dilemma is the supply chain shortfall when Taiwan is taken off line.

[@carnakthemagnificent336]

So the US should realign logistics in order to ignore the free citizens of Taiwan?

[@gerritzondag1585]

By China, do you mean West Taiwan?

[@halhal-my4pt]

Taiwan has always belong to China.

[@ArminiusGroß]

There has not been a single day in history where the government on the mainland administered that island.

[@ZhangWei02]

Sound like abusive husband.

[@carnakthemagnificent336]

Taiwan is free to rejoin china if the citizens were to choose that option. Apparently, they do not want to be serfs of the ccp.
