    Thats all well and good until you consider weakening China would protect not only the Taiwanese but people around the globe. I mean, who in their right mind feels safer with the enablers of Russia and Iran calling the shots? Mass death cultists, thats who.

      Like Cuba, all Iran did was overthrow the US-imposed dictator, and stop letting America take their resources/labor, and America has never forgiven them.

      Weakening China by having America spend every last drop of your people’s lives, until America feels like its no longer in its interests and doesn’t give you a seat at the peace table isn’t in the interests of the people of Taiwan.

      Status quo of “reunification, sure, eventually, definitly maybe next century🙃” is infinity better for the actual people.

        The Shah weren’t great, except for some cool shit they did while fighting the Axis, but the USSR tried to overthrow them to install communist loyalists in 1946 the same way they had in China. That British-American backed Shah regime lasted until the Iranian Revolution that installed a radical militant Islamic theocracy. That theocracy recently funded and outfitted the Hamas fighters who reignited the war by attacking a civilian music festival on October 7th 2023, which has overall been a huge success for Russia and China as it made the Biden Administration look terrible and the Trump administration they supported took power in the USA.

        I’ve heard that lately they’ve run out of drinkable water due to gross mismanagement and now many of them will be dying pointless deaths.

          Youre framing America’s attack dog murdering tens of thousands of mostly children in response to Palestinians trying to escape a concentration camp as a victory for America’s enemies because it made America look bad.

          Maybe take a step back and realize these are actual human beings you’re talking about.

            Yes, China and Russia helped Iran and Netanyahu murder those people, mostly innocent women and children. This is a proxy war and this is what it looks like when the West is losing. Just like those women and children dying of thirst in Iran. Just like a million more inhumane things. Weakening China would be a blessing in this godless world.

            If Israel is the USA’s dog then clearly nobody ever told Israel, they didn’t listen to Biden and they haven’t honored any ceasefires under Trump, either (although it’s unclear if Trump wants it this way or even cares at all).
