but at least one is internally consistent until then…

Having to do the mental gymnastics required to make China not commit genocide does not suggest internal consistency…

the proxy war in Ukraine

Lmao which proxy war? It’s Russia committing to a full scale invasion of Ukraine and losing. That’s like calling WW2 a proxy war because the soviet union received critical amounts of US aid.

In Ukraine, this seems to be a different story.

Wagner left Ukraine so at least it has been slightly reduced, and it’s being further reduced every day. :)

Don’t underestimate the “stupidity” of authoritarian regimes.

Like we’ve seen with Russia the information that leaders base their decisions on do not necessarily reflect reality in any way. China could very well start WW3 by invading Taiwain based on the false pretenses that everyone would just capitulate and totally be on their side like Russian leadership thought would happen in Ukraine.

If a referendum happened for this. Independence would absolutely not win.

And since they also don’t want “unification” you are absolutely against China attempting to invade Taiwan, and any aggressive actions like shooting missiles into waters near Taiwan, or threatening invasion, right?

And China. And North Korea. And Russia. And Syria.

Lmao. Fuck no. The US involvement there was global imperialism trying to cling to its colonial holdings.

So the Chinese invasion of Vietnam is obviously also a bad thing that must be denounced and not just solemnly understood and accepted, right?

Just one final question.

You obviously don’t support Japan taking back the Kuril Islands from a weakened Russia and aren’t happy about it, but obviously you understand what caused it and why it had to happen, right?

It’s very interesting how territorial disputes over basically uninhabited islands is too culturally insensitive to make conclusions on, but China invading and suppressing Taiwan harming millions in the process is an understandable certainty that doesn’t warrant condemnation.

I wonder why that is. 🤔
