Which is again much like my understanding of why the US beat its drums when the USSR interfered with Cuba. I don’t condemn the US for drum beating over that event (despite my obvious distaste for the US and support for Cuba), its extremely obvious what caused it and it’s extremely obvious what is causing this.

So obviously a full US invasion of Cuba would not only have been understandable, but also justified? Just like all the assassination attempts on Castro were understandable and justified?

I have no idea what they want, whether that’s true, or whether nationalism is even compatible with their culture.

But you do have an idea what the Taiwanese want, and it isn't a Chinese invasion, so why aren't you condemning China for their hostile actions and threatening behavior?

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. 🤔

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?

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?

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

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?

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.

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. :)

Nobody is claiming that the west isn't massively benefitting from Russia lighting itself on fire. That's not a grand conspiracy, that's just Russia being in a war they started themselves that they have no way of exiting.

Make no mistake, the US knew Russia would invade if they moved forward with NATO.

Why does the US have all the agency in introducing new members to NATO? Every signatory has to agree, and they can't forcefully induce members or force them to stay like the Warsaw Pact could. By this logic then I guess the west could rightfully attack Russia for attempting to expand their sphere of influence?

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.
