Creating a culture war is often the first reaction of the right to things they don't like in order to blunt their effect. "loonie lentil eating lefties", "greenies", "mad Greta" (I'm making these up,

I agree with you that things are currently quite bad, and need to get better. From my UK centric viewpoint, over the last decade Brexit, climate change and the pandemic have proven fertile ground for diverting peoples' attention away f

Taiwan's better option would be to build submarines with Nukes, and position them all over the Pacific. Capturing the mainland won't help you at all in that case, and there's no way you would get them all. It would be a MAD s
