Well I mean it's important to bring suck comments to twitter so that the wanwans know.
is that your account? lol j/k

The users on this site have put a lot of thought and time into writing their comments. I don't think it's cool for a lurker to just come in and copy&paste to use as their own words on twitter. It would great if they gave credit to the original source, that's all.

I agree. A prolonged war may cause many more casualties.

Indeed we were just discussing the 1GW thing on the Ukraine War thread in recent days and she likely took it from there:
Generally though lots of people here are fine with what she's doing, but you are right that it would have been nice to ask.
@Zichan what are your thoughts?

I am not happy about that, but I’m not surprised either. This is a public forum and anything we write can be copied and co-opted, unfortunately.

I tried searching the source for the tweet above:

Taiwan Will Treat China Flights Into Airspace as ‘First Strike’​

And then there's this part:

Right, so anyone who's currently in China wanna "first strike" Taiwan by flying a drone over there lol?
It doesn't matter what Taiwan thinks or says. In a conflict scenario, the neighbouring countries and the whole global south will decide who the aggressor is, who disturbed the peace. If they start with a declaration of independence, they won't have many supporters in the world. If China starts with an unprovoked attack, it will probably be condemned at the UN and sanctions will be seen by some as more legitimate.

If a Chinese plane flying inside the 12 mile zone of kinmen, but not over land, is shot down, most would say Taiwan is picking a fight and deserve a proportional response

Well then
Nice. A "problem", if it can be called that, with the Chinese government is that it suffers from an excess of rationality. It doesn't get drawn into things and it plays the game as conservatively as possible. While this is laudable and very often correct, it can get rather boring and sometimes people need to be hit upside the head so they know not to mess with you.

Ukraine - a state fighting for its existence - has decided that poking China in the eye is a wise course of action. That's excellent, I was worried that the Ukrainians had found wisdom when they abstained from that risible UNHRC vote. It seems nothing of the kind has happened, and China is now going to look into the many options it has to make their lives a lot worse than they already are.
