The most important piece of forensic evidence from Kennedy’s assassination went missing after his autopsy – evidence which would have eventually proved pivotal as forensic medicine evolved – and no one knows or cares where it is.

Absolutely pathetic.

But they moved forward in this case. I don’t see why China wouldn’t do the same when it feels the chess board is arranged more in its favor.
How have I shifted topics? LOL The topic I was discussing is how today’s events in Ukraine make China’s annexation of Taiwan more likely. I agree that the only reason it hasn’t happened is that the US has held them off, but the US has just shown where their boundaries are- threaten a nuclear strike, and they do nothing. What the US has done thus far to defend Taiwan is unquestionable, but you keep assuming a stagnant and unchanging world.
What China now can figure into the equation isn’t how much it would take to defeat the US, but just what strategy to use so they don’t need to. Sorry ya’ll, the US is not going to risk all out nuclear war for Ukraine, Taiwan, or any other place that most 'mericans can’t even find on a map. Nor would I argue that they should given that, as I said before, Taiwanese people didn’t even vote for their own independence when it had the chance and with its current so-called pro-independence president who won’t even say that Taiwan is an independent country.

It’s just cunts all the way down. Every man Jack of the people who work as politicians, no matter the country, are in one way or another cunts. Powerful cunts, corrupt cunts and stupid cunts. Cunts all the way.
And we elect them.

Maybe not nuclear war, but have you seen polls on this issue? Have you talked to Americans?
Formally declaring independence is just inviting an invasion. Taiwanese people know that.
As long as Taiwan has its own baseball team, there isn’t enough to be gained by a declaration.
The polls? 
Anyone who believes that over half of Americans truly support sending troops to defend Taiwan is beyond naive. That same survey showed that the largest number of people said “don’t know”, but the headlines reported something else. Read how leading all of the poll questions were…that’s not how science works 
This is what people read before answering:
Taiwan has been self-governed since 1949, but China claims it as part of its territory. The United States supports Taiwan’s right to self-government and does not recognize China’s territorial claims on Taiwan. Would
you favor or oppose the following US policies toward Taiwan?
nonsense survey link
I wish they would have done a Jimmy Kimmel follow up…please point to Taiwan on a map.
You’re making my point, lol.
There’s been more than or survey, all with consistent results.
Finding it on a map is irrelevant, Americans can’t find America on a map.

This was the first survey that showed 50% support for defending Taiwan, all surveys have been consistently under 50%. This was was exactly 50% of people who read the very leading question. Plus, none of these surveys are scientific at all.
@Insight_tw this is the Ukraine invaded by Russia thread, we have threads all over the place discussing a possible Taiwan invasion, most have us have discussed it from every conceivable perspective. We get that an invasion of Ukraine may make a move by China more likely, but it’s all hypothetical. Let’s try to keep this thread related to Ukraine and Russia please.

Sirens in Kiev again.
They also polled foreign policy elites, the people actually making the decisions, and the numbers were 70-80%, depending on party.
When was the last time the UN defended anything?
