Not sure that makes it any better. Oppressing a country vs. helping oppress a country.
Politically it's better. Ukraine has 16 countries that committed over a billion Euros. We're not how many countries would back Taiwan.
I mean over a billion Euros is technically correct, the actual number however is more like 150 to 200 billion Euros
Sorry, I meant over a billion Euros each. The US is at over €70 billion alone.
Of our hard-earned money, those degenerate warmongers (I'm looking at you, Urszula)!
the difference is in Taiwan's case america would be directly involved and have already committed to this, it is likely Japan would also and some other countries are likely to contribute to. china wouldn't have a hope
In every simulation, China wipes the floor with the US in a conventional war against the mainland. You can look it up if you like.
already have, and every simulation says the opposite. dunno what nonsense you been looking at
edit: oh, lemmygrad. nevermind
Let's hope we never have to find out who's right.
on this I agree. lot of death on all sides garunteed. noone wants this
Absolutely.
It:s a shame because supplying that gear to Ukraine would have helped China's reputation on the international stage and bolstered trade. It would have not been well received by the Kremlin but a losing army can't invade anyone else.
They are, though?
People are going on AliExpress and buying stuff. This is neither new nor illegal. Chinese companies live in a capitalist market just like everyone else.

China and Russia are working together to overthrow the relatively democratic, rules-based US-Euro hegemony. That's why they announced their super duper special forever friendship shortly before Putin started his latest genocidal land grab.
