  (what if) its to feed more fear, tribalism and pessimism into susceptible minds, at least here in the US - i shouldn't be saying this. Imagine a person who doesn't know any better, perpetually being pent up, ready with their semi-auto rifle. Ready to burst. It's us people who know we're of no threat to our society, us people who need to be empowered and kept safe, not just physically, but mental safety that we're well aware and cognizant of having - this includes other, just and righteous gun owners; when push comes to shove, we all share the same values which revolve loving our family and community, but first we need to clear the obscuring s***, if you will.
context: WTF is wrong with these arsehole countries, internal pressures as a result of our own incompetence and stupid policies, we know how to fix it lets starts messing with other countries to divert the attention away. Instead of starting wars or building nukes how about just not being a dick? >
  
  They are just following the playbook of the global powers. It’s not like their were consequences when they did it. >
  
  Not sure why you’re being downvoted. The West has shown itself to be weak; allowing anything. >
  
  The "west" intervenes: "oh no, the tyrannical west"
  The "west" doesn't intervene: "oh no, the tyrannical west" >
  
  Naw I’m all for intervention. But I’m more talking about the economic and political infiltration that the east gets away with here. >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 69%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  China responded to that visit by holding what was then its biggest-ever military exercises in the seas around Taiwan, and also blocked some trade with the island.
  China has never said it would not use force to bring Taiwan under its control.
  China said it had conducted "Strike drills" around Taiwan on Sunday in response to what it said was provocation from the island and the US. A White House National Security Council official said the US was concerned by the latest development, adding it would "Continue to assist Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defence capability in line with our long-standing commitments and consistent with our one-China policy".

  China's in for a ride awakening if it thinks it can successfully invade Taiwan whilst the US has effectively infinite budget and manufacturing capability to send a steady stream of current and next-genetation weapons and materiel to Taiwan and other allies in the area. 
  The war in Ukraine has kicked the US's wartime production ecosystem into gear, and we're churning out all kinds of stuff to replace what we're sending out. We have enough spare weapons to adequately arm Taiwan for years. >
  
  I think they can reach some sort of compromise regarding this, both china and US don’t want a war and both are dependent on eachother to maintain their economic superiority, all this stupid war stuff is just a diversion from the common recession problems the world is facing and to justify funding technological and state necessary industries and fill the politicians pockets
