The professor is spot on. Had Ukraine got a politically sophisticated president, the Ukrainians would not be suffering as they are now. It is hope that the Taiwan leaders has enough wisdom.
This is the most realistic & pragmatic analysis of Taiwan's situation. The people of Taiwan should do a detailed analysis on whether Taiwan can be defended. It can't be defended, period. Don't be misled by English Tsai & DPP, which has now pushed Taiwan to the brink of the cliff. The only way out is not to vote for DPP & let KMT to win and open dialogue with China for a peaceful reunification through '1 country 2 system approach'. Always think of stability, security, progress and prosperity. DPP will not give Taiwan all these.
