B-b-b-b-b-but China might, possibly, at some point in the future, try to reclaim Taiwan! Both sides! Two things true at once! Me speculating about something possibly happening is the exact same as the thing actually happening!
Hasn't China stated that they intend to reclaim Taiwan? Don't they claim Taiwan as part of their country right now?
Yeah these guys are dreaming that China won't invade Taiwan.
China is not the good guys now... America is just fuckin worse
If you believe in good guys and bad guys as an adult I've got a fuckin Harry Potter wand to sell you
Not every country in the world is as corrupt as the the US.
You let your politicians trade shares, what else do you all expect to happen?
No capitalist country can have a good democracy, some have just way better PR than others. Hell, the crackdown on pro Palestinian protests in western liberal democracies proves that.
You should try basing your beliefs on facts and evidence sometime.
China was just talking recently about how Taiwan is there's...
What world do you live in where China won't invade Taiwan eventually...
They've been "just recently" talking about how Taiwan is theirs for the past 70 years and haven't done shit.
I live in a world where basic pattern recognition exists.
When it becomes untenable for the US to maintain a global military hegemony Taiwan will reluctantly submit to being in the Chinese orbit because of geographical realities and then be firmly on a path to reunification. It's very likely the only blood that will be spilled will be by the chud protestors.
"China are the baddies because of something they haven't done, but totally will!"
Deeply unserious
