They cant shoot taiwan . Taiwan didnt declare independence and US even with pelosi thing still says they dont support independence so all this is scare tactics. They can throw all the missiles in the ocean.
Poor turtles though
Of course. You want Taiwan to take the bullet. You want escalation and you want to humiliate the Chinese, but are you willing to fight side by side w/ the Taiwanese? From the look of war in Ukraine, the answer is a big fuck no.
So much for “ultimately, it’ll be up to 24 million Taiwanese to decide the fate of their democracy.”
it’s no different than price fixing and price gouging. exact same tactics. push hard, release a little. slowly get the sheep comfortable with 50% of the original push. repeat.
At least they banned the sissy boys and you don’t have to worry about the public schools transing your kids…
…but yeah, China is the source of a lot of issues. Perhaps the US will start treating China as an existential threat and that will help bring some national unity and focus to our overlords.
