I don't think there is any official support from the Ukrainian government to Taiwan, just those parliamentarians who "stand with Taiwan".
No Taiwan Representative Office or anything like that.

The leaders expressed serious concern about the situation in the East and South China Seas, and strongly opposed any unilateral attempt to change the status quo by force or coercion. The leaders also emphasized the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait as an indispensable element in security and prosperity in the international community. They encouraged the peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues.

Balázs Orbán, political Director of PM Viktor Orbán:

"At present, the EU is uncritically adopting the US position wholesale, with US interests simply being presented as European interests. The actions being taken make it seem as if European interests are the same as American interests. At the moment I don’t see the EU or the larger EU countries striving for sovereignty – and not even the EU institutions are doing so. This is precisely why today Europe is one of the losers in this war and the US is one of the winners.

It’s time to wake up, Europe!"

Europe is turning into the Blue team (Pro-America) vs. Red team (representing the EU interests of pragmatism) no different than the current REd/blue political divide in America represented by Democrats and Republicans. The tweet above sounded reasonable but one look at the post's writer and you'll quickly realize is that he's a Hungarian politician and a supporter of P.M. Victor Orban which is being made to be this madman of NATO and EU. Pro-American comments and commentators we'll notice that they are almost all exclusively from the chihuahua clubs like Lithuania, Estonia, Romania, unhinged Ukraine scum politicians not to mention the usual suspects in western Europe I need not mention for obvious reasons. What am trying to say here is that no one is willing to listen at all. Everyone has sort of place their stakes on the ground and more or less are willing to die with their stances on Russia, LGBTQ, immigration, trade, and increasingly with China. The irony of it all is that they DEMAND NOT EXPECT, BUT DEMAND CHINA TO ACQUIESCE and become subservient to their whims forsaking China's core position and totally ignoring what's best for China and it's people which is far more numerous than the entirety of U.S. and E.U. population combined. They are pushing and pushing more of China's red line and expect China to just not react at all or lest be accused of "AGRESSIVE, BELLIGERENT, NEOCOLONIALISTS, GENOCIDAL, GREEEDY" and all the usual yellow peril racist trope that's been used against China centuries ago.

That's why I can't see any reset to this so-called order without the world being plunged into a War along with the massive loss of lives, destruction etc.....the westerners (Europeans, Americans) have totally lost their marbles and have become too arrogant and blinded not to mention have developed severe amnesia in terms of the tragedy of war. Yet, war is exactly what these depraved, unscrupulous politicians, military leaders, think tank wankers in western world are angling for. A war with Russia and China? god help us all.

For a people who pride themselves on being egalitarian and being primes et pares, first amongst equals, these anglos certainly exhibit a lot of ”eastern despotism”
Unfortunately, some Europeans are as racist and ignorant as ever, and would not hesitate to demonstrate their clueless, blind hatred against Chinese. For them, Chinese showing happiness and joyfulness is "both disturbing and deeply damaging", because "it is an affront to all those countless people living under CCP’s daily terror". Whoever said these probably has never been to China. For others, even keeping an equal distance between China and the US will make them very angry.

The Philippines is certainly angling for to become the ASEAN UKRAINE.

For the US, building infrastructures and a manufacturing sector is hard, but provoking a war is easy and potentially very profitable for the MIC.

After banning Huawei and ZTE ten times in the US, the US congress decided to pressure allies to ban Huawei and ZTE and forced public companies to disclose if they ever used Huawei and ZTE equipment. If you ever wondered if these politicians are digging the graveyard of the US empire, then it doesn't need to look further.

Sanctioning Huawei is easy, but it won't give the US the 5G technologies.

China would never developed to today's extent if they listened to Western "experts".

The “president” of the European Union has almost no powers, sadly. The executive European Commission is US-puppeted while the ceremonial European Council has been consistently pro-Chinese.
This is wrong because of your following statement (in bold texts).
Why is that? Because the European Commission is staffed by more or less unknown politicians in their countries, gaps easily filled by CIA trainees, while the European Council is a collection of heads of state, current or former national leaders who are actually held accountable by their populace and far more aware of the reality on the ground.


EU is NOT a state, not even a federal state, it is a collection of independent states who give up very limited sovereign rights to the Union. This means that the power vests in the collective of head of states or governments, that is the EU council. BTW the council is like a senate. Its president is the collective presidency of EU, similar to US president.

The EU commission is the government of EU. How much power it has depends on how much sovereignty each state gives up, so far, almost nothing. The president of the commission is like a prime minister.

You should also know that it is the president of the council to lead the foreign policy, not the president of the commission who is just one of many members in the council to decided the union's foreign policy.

Some people (VDL) in Europe has been conducting a political coupe by making the parliament excising more power than the constitution has granted and to remove the "unanimous" clause. VDL's performance is part of that coupe by acting like a prime minister in a parliamentarian country such as UK. But the EU's (as a loose confederacy) power is in the senate (the council). President Michel is politely reminding VDL to find her real place.

Look at this report in CNA (Singapore state t.v. but wannabe fake news CNN) and check out the comments of these dumb clueless Filipinos ( if they're not paid commentators and bots) accusing China of intruding into their "TERRITORY" essentially accusing China of STEALING THEIR land that is VIRTUALLY INHABITABLE which goes to show how clueless these people are. Also, whenever American military does their military exercises halfway around the world it's being legitimized by Asian medias that follow their cues almost verbatim from a totally American perspective ignoring and even omitting the interest and perspective from China and the Chinese people that are nuanced and legitimate as well.

Again, a war with the U.S. in the Pacific and having to see them defeated would be the greatest reset that could possibly happen in that region so that ignorant people in the Philippines and around ASEAN will wake up to their reality and from their delusional fantasies that China is not some 2 bit paper tiger and that America will be able to subdue China's progress and inevitable rise as the preeminent power in the Asia-Pacific region.

another $17bln that won’t be going into the USG budget.

Australia has been a CIA state since Gough Whitlam was ousted the same way some Latin American states were considered narco states given the government capture by cartels.

So, how do you as a country legally go to war over a non country like Taiwan? With the very Anglo tradition of writing it down as a “law” to give yourself permission to do so. Ingenuous.
Australia is inventing an unheard-of way to go to war at the invitation of a ‘non-sovereign nation’ – an obvious reference to Taiwan. The Government’s intent seems to be to have it ready for the conflict with China that US Generals keep telling us is coming.

When it reported on 31 March, the Inquiry into Australia’s Entry into Overseas Conflict produced little of the reform called for by civil society groups, and recommended by 94 out of 113 submissions to the multi-party Parliamentary Committee. Instead it reaffirmed the status quo, under which the Prime Minister, in effect alone, can decide the ADF should go to war.
