I think that's highly likely. Banks aim to maximize their profit margins and that necessarily means taking risks. When regulators close one loophole, banks find another one to exploit. This is a game of whack-a-mole that the regulators

Except US does it on a whole different scale. What US is doing in Taiwan would be equivalent to China or Russia funding and arming a separatist movement in Texas or Florida. And of course, you're right that we live in a might makes rig

The only reason there is a debacle is because US is interfering in internal affairs of a country half way across the world.

No, I'm not saying that because that would make me an imbecile.
517.
by yogthos 4y ago
Oh so you agree that US should stop meddling in Taiwan.
518.
by yogthos 4y ago
I'll try explaining this in more familiar terms for you. A province is like a state in US, and the central government of China is akin to the federal government in US. I hope that helps clear things up for you.

The legitimate government of China which Taiwan is a province of.

You're doing historical revisionism here. US ran a coup in Ukraine to overthrow a democratically elected government in 2014. This resulted in a civil war between Donbas and western Ukraine. All this has been extensively documented in m

You evidently don't understand the concept of self determination. If your politics are hijacked by the world hegemon, that's called indoctrination. Meanwhile, fascism is something US has been actively cultivating since WW2 https:

Russia invaded Ukraine using the precedent set by NATO in Yugoslavia.

Yeah, weird how US always sided with the brutal dictators while USSR sided with the masses of the people in the countries. It's just so hard to say which was on the right side of history.

One has to be incredibly naive to believe that US is constantly at war killing countless millions of people to protect freedoms. US is an empire that subjugates countries to its will to extract their labour and resources. Here's what U

First, you might not be aware of this, but vast majority of the world takes a contrary position to the west on the war in Ukraine: https://ecfr.eu/publication/united-west-divided-from-the-res... https://www.

Fact of the matter is that US has official relations with PRC and not ROC which isn't even recognized by the UN. There is no legal basis for treating Taiwan as a country.
527.
by yogthos 4y ago
Sure, and if you look at the map it becomes obvious that US cannot beat China by force in their own backyard. So, all US is accomplishing in the long run is to create conditions that may lead to a direct conflict between two nuclear superpo

There can be no question of self determination when US pours billions of dollars into shaping politics in Taiwan.

It's astounding that you don't understand why international law exists.

US has never been on the right side of history in the past half a century, and US is sure as hell not on the right side of history trying to start a war with China right now. Why should China side with US over Ukraine's territorial int

by yogthos 4y ago
Yes, US does extraordinary levels of interference in China completely contrary to international law and accepted norms. This is something US would never accept done on its own territory. US simply does whatever it wants ignoring any and all

As I've repeatedly explained to you in this very thread, the position of the UN and vast majority of countries in the world is that Taiwan is a province of China. This is a simple fact, and it's frankly astounding that you keep tr

by yogthos 4y ago
As the links I provided clearly explain, Taiwan is not a country. What US is doing is funding and arming a separatist movement in a province of China.

by yogthos 4y ago
You should not believe the US regime's self serving, feigned morality. If the UN and international norms were so important to the US government, they would not have unilaterally invaded Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and many other countrie
535.
by yogthos 4y ago
That's complete and utter nonsense because US has formal relations with PRC and does not have formal relations with ROC.

by yogthos 4y ago
US position is frankly irrelevant. What matters is the international law, the UN position, and the fact that US acknowledges the UN as an institution. US has no unilateral right to interfere in affairs of other countries any more than othe

by yogthos 4y ago
This is literally false according to UN and international law.

I've literally provided you with links demonstrating that. You can also read what UN has to say. United Nations - Restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations (October 1971): https:&#x2

Just like we can assume that Texas or Florida are independant sovereign countries in their own right according to the will of their people. Once DeSantis gets his private army going, I'll remember to cheer for Flordia's freedom an

No, I'm stating basic facts of the situation. Educate yourself on the subject.
