Ah yes, because escalation has worked so well in the past.

Right...
So supporters of the US must be tankies too, right? Or is it the "authoritarian" part you're angry about and not the "imperialist wankers who think using force against the people is the solution" part?
How so? Tesla had no product, basically no employees, and no money. There are other things to hate on Musk for, but is there any indication that he wasn't involved in the company like a cofounder would be?
Ah yes, because everything you do is to meet societal needs and not to make more money for the 1%. That's why 34% of wealth in Canada goes to the top 1%.
At least in China you can get people executed for corruption and demoted for not following the will of the people 🤷♀️
Ah yes, because conservatives are subhuman and definitely not something like half of the US voterbase.
This is a US problem, plain and simple.
Guess Ukraine isn't really European after all.
Fuck Poland.
Trade between Taiwan and China is something like $270 billion. Taiwan is one of China's biggest export partners (larger than Russia, Malaysia, France, Brazil) and one of China's biggest import partners (literally the biggest, I think).
Cultural penetration is significant and bilateral mobility across the strait is very high. Anyone who seriously sees hot war as a possibility is delusional. At worst, we may see a Kennedy-style quarantine of Taiwan if too many US weapons make their way to the island.
Taiwan-China relations were downright friendly until 2016. Not really sure what's changed since then.
Everyone's been bitching and whining about catching others spies, though?
