Thoughts?
Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

This is a declaration of war IMO. By one old dude against the whole world order (the international laws).
As the US has known for some time, the international order only applies to poor countries. Like a spiders web ensnares the fly but allows the pig to tear straight through
I’m not excusing the USA, two bad does not make right.
It doesn’t but this is the real fucking world
As an American I’m happy to see China kept in its place until it can compete with America on the human rights it gives its citizens. America might exercise ill-acquired and unethical hegemony over the world at times but apart from maybe the EU theres not another superpower candidate I’d trust more with that hegemony.
As an American I want my tax dollars to go toward something other than murdering civilians overseas
Oh, same! Yeah we’ve got a lot to do to fix this country, for sure. Kind of exciting to know we have the opportunity to fix how we want it considering the unprecedented dysfunction
You mean the disappearing of tens of thousands of people who get kidnapped on the streets by militarized fascist police? Or are we talking about the highest imprisonment on Earth, with 1 in 5 black men going through prison?
Why does every fucking topic, no matter how far it is from US, ends up with someone ranting about US?
Because the US just sold them $11b worth of weapons? You act like the US is not involved in any way.
Downvote and move on friend
whataboutism isn’t to dismiss the point. whataboutism is to put things into context and establish proportionality.
what was the reaction internationally when the US invaded other countries? that allows you an approximate estimate of what will happen when china invades other countries.
China and Taiwan are already at war. The Chinese civil war never had any truce, armistice, surrender, or anything. ROC pulled back to Taiwan, PRC didn’t follow, and then it just stopped.
