Works both ways.
- suraci 2y agoi don't know which one is more crazier you don't know where taiwan is or you know it well but still think it's totally normal and reasonable to do that
- jabl 2y agoPerhaps Xi Jinping and his henchmen should also look at a map? In case they have trouble understanding, here's a hint: Taiwan belongs to that large part of the globe which is "not China".
- Ekaros 2y agoJust like Panama and Greenland?
- jabl 2y agoYes. Or sort-of, at least. China is making serious military investments that seem targeted at achieving a capability to invade Taiwan while fending off US efforts to foil such an invasion. In contrast, I've seen no indication that the US is seriously considering taking Panama or Greenland by force except for the bluster from the chief blowhard. Still, that mark of shame will take a long time to wash off.
