The satellite images reveal a layout of streets strongly resembling the Bo’ai Special Zone, a restricted area in Taipei’s Zhongzheng District that houses Taiwan’s most important state buildings, including the presidential palace, the supreme court, the ministry of justice and the central bank of Taiwan.

The Bo’ai Special Zone is subject to specific regulations, including a strict ban on overflight.

Well, the CCP did invade India in the Sino Indian war. But that was in the 60s. They are not exactly new at it. I think they also invaded Vietnam but my memory is fuzzy on why.

I voted for the first time in my life in Taiwan for this election. I think the main reason the KMT lost was because of a 3rd party ticket. I voted for Ching-te since he was the VP and I love how much he loves his people.

My dad used to tell me that barking dogs don't bite. You worry about the quiet ones. That's why I always knew Putin would invade.

Their last major engagement was the sino Vietnamese war, where they attempted to invade Vietnam to support the Khmer rouge in Cambodia. It was a complete shit show.

Oh shit, you're right. Well, we hope to give them a bigger shit show if they wanna fuck around.
