Listen to a reading of this article: ❖ "To protect Taiwan we must be prepared to go to war with China." ~ Imperialists who just lost a war to the Taliban ❖ I'm genuinely disturbed at how many people would be willing to fight a world war over Taiwan's governmental preferences. The power and effectiveness of the imperial propaganda machine never ceases to amaze me.
The growing numbers of people who see China as a problem only indicates how tirelessly the weathervane of NatSec propaganda has been directing them there.
The exact same thing happened 20 years ago when pre-existing plans for regime change in the Middle East saw an opportunity for enactment in the wake of 9/11. To this day embarrassingly high numbers of Americans believe that Saddam had something to do with it. Hundreds of thousands of dead civilians? Oh yeah, that happened, too.
Problems which should be solved around a conference table are treated as political, economic, and media opportunities for aggression because currently that's where the money and power dictates it be placed.
Of course, once hundreds of thousands are dead, and political and monetary fortunes have been made, the conference table finally finds its place as a peace treaty propaganda prop for the next "unavoidable" conflict.
We all just want our little dopamine fix? When you're called on in school, better repeat what you're told you believe; if you buy in they'll let you pretend to FIT in,
Happened to have just lived with a woman from Taiwan and she would prefer that China leave Taiwan alone and respect it's wishes. Xi Jinping, however, sees Taiwan as historically belonging to China, and therefore, wants to reunite Taiwan with China whether Taiwan wants to be re-united or not.

If China would stop rattling it's saber, this whole mess would calm down, and could actually prevent the United States from doing something stupid.

But China is riding high right now and doesn't want to miss this opportunity to flex it's muscle.

Sorry to say, we need sanity to prevail on both sides of the Pacific right now in order to avoid what could turn out to be one of the stupidest moves by the leaders of this world in all of history.
The critical movement has not been on the horizontal left-right progress vs regress scale. It's been on the vertical authoritarian scale.

Step one: stop voting for these people.

Yeah, don't repeat the mistake of starting World War II over Poland.
