Taiwan should learn a lesson from Ukraine. It makes no sense to go to war against a neighboring nation trusting on support from people thousands of miles away.

Taiwan should learn a lesson from Ukraine. It makes no sense to go to war against a neighboring nation trusting on support from people thousands of miles away. Do any deals locally, that's the best way to survive.
- variaga 2y agoUkraine did not go to war, Russia went to war, and Ukraine had a "local" deal with Russia (in exchange for Ukraine giving up their nukes, Russia promised to honor their territorial integrity), Russia simply refused to honor their half of the deal.
- FpUser 2y agoThe initial deal as I remember was with Russia, US and UK. And the deal was a memoranda which is not even binding and does not compel any real actions in case of breach. Basically Ukraine had acted as a fool. Immediately after break up from USSR they had 50+ million population, strong army, industry, tech, great location as a transit hub, agriculture, resources etc. and their fucking corrupt "leaders" pissed it all away an had turned their country into an easy prey and a shadow of its former self.
