These are the territorial claims of the government on Taiwan, from a state the US and much of the Western world support or at least de facto like to defend in Asia. They never made any remarks regarding Taiwan's claims with 18 other countries. If the US supports peace in the Asia Pacific (besides looking at a map and asking why the US has even a say about Asia in the first place), then surely Mainland China must be supported, as by protecting & legitimizing Taiwan's constitution, you're approving this shit in Asia.

But let me guess, neoliberal countries get a pass from the crackerverse?

Yes you don't get the drones only, as you also get control stations, and other equipment to use them. That's like I get a car, but wait, then I also get car keys, and, hold up, an iPhone case with a BMW logo on it... a LOT! Clearly they are bloating the prices, and you're the one daydreaming stuff up lmao

Lol I remember in 2020 Taiwan bought 4 MQ-9 Reaper drones for $600 million (money up front of course, they will be actually delivered in 2025 - will they even still be around at that time?). Then, when Russia shot down (or better "pissed down") another MQ-9 drone over the Black sea, which Western news decried as pricey as 30 million...

Some Taiwanese did some quic maffs then... to discover... Lmao US friends get US friends prices I guess

The EU & US are gonna fight the sun before they fight capitalism. Every year they announce X billions of investment, and in the following years nobody even remembers where all that money went. Then they repeat the process, increasing the numbers each time. Isn't this the peak of neoliberalism?

By russia. They attacked Georgia in 2008, they attacked ukraine in 2014.

Did you read my initial comment? You don't even reply to anything and just ignore the coup by the US in 2014 and the military training of Ukrainian Neo-nazis the following 8 years, while stating Russia is their #1 enemy. Yes that's right, the West pumped nationalism and weapons into Ukraine way before 2022.

This is why nobody likes them and everybody wants to see them suffer, this is why so many countries were happy to give Ukraine weapons if it meant Russian invaders would die.

"So many" countries like the G7 told by the US to donate? They are barely 10% of the world population. The US gives weapons to Ukraine because they use them as a stick to punch and weaken Russia, while using Ukrainians as flesh to achieve this. They don't care what Ukraine will be after the war, the support will only last until the US thinks it weakened Russia enough. If you don't like Russia, then fight yourself instead of sending them into safe death.

Russia is a bully nation, and we get to watch that most beautiful moment, when the bullied stands up and blasts their bully in the face with a himars.

Bruh they use Himars to shell hospitals and city centers that are still Ukrainian and a good amount of them lives there. The Ukrainian nazis killed probably more civilians of their own than the invaders, and you call that a "beautiful moment".

Putin won’t last through the year, the thunder run destroyed his aura of invulnerability, I look forward to watching him do his Nick II impression.

I agree, that would be good but not worth a try for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives in exchange, especially if you don't even know for sure if that will be the outcome. Typical lib, cheering the death of people in general.

Putin wasn’t ‘put in a position’, he’s the ruler of Russia, he has agency, and now we get to watch the Russian people pay the price for his stupidity.

Where do you think Putins power comes from? The oligarchs in Russia fear his force powers like from Darth Vader or what? Also then what is your big plan? You remove him, you run elections like in the 90s again, you get Yelson 2, after ten years you get another Putin 2 that again will resist the West. Did you even read my initial comment? My whole point was that is not the decision of one man because life is not Lord of the Rings, and then you reply by the great man theory, which is based on idealism. Like I said, until the West does not change it foreign policy towards Russia, the Oligarchy of Russia will put up people like Putin up and pursue similar politics.

I am convinced that you are just a racist that thinks Russia has Putin and is evil because of their DNA or something. That's why you refuse to accept any material analysis of the geopolitics behind and blame it on one leadership.

The last time they flew in space was when they cooperated with Soviets. And they didn't invade wtf? The red army was invited by the socialist Afghanistan government to fight the terrorist backed by the US. Which later actually invaded and then used the geological maps created and given to the Afghans by Soviets decades prior (where they hoped the people of Afghanistan will use them to built their economy) to extract resources lmao And finally fled from the airport in Kabul, which was built by the USSR...

They had a nice society before Mujahideen and the Taliban, financed by the US, btw. (Actually the Taliban at least prohibited drug trafficking contrary to yanks and nato fascists)

Bro did you even read the initial comment and my long answer to that? My whole point was that russia, was put into a geopolitical corner and had to react out of material reasons, independent of their leadership. You come up with "be nice to your neighbors" as if the USA doesn't meddle with their peripheral states and tries to put up bases there. LOL I wish I could see the world as simple as darth vader vs luke skywalker like you do

What you said was completely unrelated and now you want to debate a different box. Classic western disinformation

nice whataboutism.

Not to mention you wouldn't use an inflated balloon in the 21st century to spy, as if there is anything interesting to intercept in the first place xD - maybe China wanted to test if their LTE coverage is as bad as Americans on reddit say or where the next train will derail lmao

Bruh of course the PRC is not fascist (if this word has any meaning nowadays) - they removed them 70 years ago, however ironically the ROC fits your description
