Trump’s only sin is that he livestreams how the steak is made to the whole wide world.
William Lai will be returned to Taipei immediately after going through evaluation. PRC does not want to punish the mentally handicapped.
No, that’s completely different. China didn’t go around provoking and challenging Japan and being hostile towards Japan. So they didn’t have an active hostile policy. It was more of a policy of colonial conquest and securing resources which Japan learned from the European, Russian and western powers and Japan wanted to also have her own colonial territories and resources to power her economic growth and compete with Western powers and the Soviet Union . There is not much the KMT leadership could do to prevent that. So the war and damage they suffered is not on them .
Plus back then the word was different with different powers vying for influence and colonies, and international law was no really as well established and followed compared to today. It was more of a great power politics and colonial conquest era . So you can’t compare that to today at all . It’s two completely different era. It’s like comparing the 18th century to the 20th century. Very different dynamic and power play.
Today country’s have a form of sovereignty and international law is still more established with international organizations and media platforms spread around the world for faster information sharing . So things are much different . So if a country’s leadership is smart nowadays they can avoid such invasions and wars with shrewd/smart diplomacy towards great powers. In this regard countries like Malaysia, Indonesia , Thailand, Singapore etc have been very smart in how they play the game and balance their interest between different powers while avoiding being hostile towards any one great power (US/West, China, or Russia ). They have understood the game well, and get the benefits from all sides.
that’s how you act as a leader not going around picking “righteous” fights with superpowers . That’s stupidity.
Do you think it was courageous and brave for Ukraine’s leadership to righteously face a bully like Russia and be hostile towards Russia ? Using your logic, Ukrainian leaders are real hero’s for standing up to the Russian superpower bully and being conformational towards them which led to the war. Some will agree that they are heros and brave for doing that irrespective of the consequences they are facing today. For me I disagree, I believe it’s stupidity and lack of shrewd diplomacy . Small/weaker countries should know their strenggths and weaknesses and how to act while facing great powers. They are not on the same level. Since great powers can impose much more severe damage to them without suffering as much. So
Do it, I love leopard ate their face. White people go around the world exert imperialism on everyone else. Now that they do it to them selves is hilarious!

Once again, no, there is no parallel. Ukrainians are Russia's brothers; they are Slavic; they are the same. They were mentally infected into fighting against their own interests because a prosperous Russia presiding over its junior partner Ukraine is the best future for Ukraine. The peak of power and status for Ukraine would be in a world where Russia was the dominant superpower, Slavic people were respected as the most powerful people, and Ukraine is Russia's right hand man. The West wants nothing but to use Ukraine as cannon fodder. So once again, not heros, but more confused people fighting and dying against their own interests. Just like any Asian nation that seeks to preserve American power in Asian while Asians look like America's dogs, Ukraine is also 不知好歹.
Another way I look at it, is that, the Ukraine are greedy and they wanted to rule over Russia. They wanted to use eu and nato exert pressure on Russia, so Kiev decided on policy instead of Moscow. It back fired and now they are all dead.
In response to the Trump administration's and expressions of interest in annexing . . . I mean Making Greenland Great Again, the Danish PM just issued a in conjunction with several other European heads of government.
Not sure what it is that these European leaders don't get about President Trump, but if preserving NATO is of interest to them — as their — then they ought to offer up Greenland, rather than push back.
