    yeah we heard that story before and we all know how good it went for ukraine…

    So taiwan should definitely keep arming up and be ready for a fucking invasion.

      He could’ve said “Why would I wait until 2027? I could invade it tomorrow if I had wanted”

      He would never say it. He would have said “we don’t comment on internal affairs”.

    I recall people laughing at the US warning Ukraine that a Russian invasion was imminent.

    Among all the other very good reasons this would be a completely fucking stupid and morally bankrupt thing to do (doesn’t mean it won’t happen), this would have a devastating impact globally. You thought the chip shortage was bad during COVID? That was caused by just a change in demand from people’s shift in spending habits. Can you imagine the impact of China trying to invade the country that produces 60% of the entire world supply of chips? When it comes to advanced chips they produce 90% (source).

    Just…fuck right off please. Nobody wants you here anyway.

      But have you considered, that the existence of an independent Taiwan is an insult to Xi’s ego? And that’s what really matters here.

      /s obviously

    Dude keeps a beautiful garden. That’s about the nicest thing I can say about him.

      Because even ‘the last warning’ is still a warning. Taiwan can better be prepared than think it’s a lie.
