Trump has only set a precedent for China. If the rest of the west doesn’t do shit about this, which they won’t, China will just follow Trumps playbook. Don’t be surprised when Xi will order the kidnapping of the Taiwanese president.
China will just follow Trumps playbook.
Why would they do that? His playbook is dumb and routinely backfires.
Seems like they’re stick with their existing playbook as it has been far more successful
Something like that will happen. The US is trying to ruin China’s oil imports - from Venezuela and Iran. China will need to show they are serious.

China could never, ever pull this off
First of all, the gap between the US military and Chinese military is massive. Keep in mind, until the Russia invaded Ukraine, it used to be the consensus second strongest military in the world, not China. The gap between the US and Russia is comically huge. China simply lacks the intelligence gathering capabilities and the air/navel superiority to project power like this.
Second of all, Taiwan is not Venezuela. Venezuela is a poor, horribly mismanagement country led by an incompetent dictator. It’s relatively easy to pay off corrupt insiders to get them to work for you. It’s also much easier to find, target, and destroy military targets. That’s not true for Taiwan it is a wealthy, extremely managed country led by a democratic government full of qualified people. The Taiwanese government has been planning defense of their sovereignty for decades, and they’re pretty damn good at it.
The point is that if China had the ability to do something like this then they would’ve already done, but they haven’t because they can’t.
Lmao what an insane whataboutism, akin to “the crazy screaming guy that stomps over the neighborhood just took another person hostage. So watch out for the quiet neighbor that has done nothing wrong for my entire life time, they’ll probably start taking hostages any minute too.”
There’s no “whataboutism”, is that the joke? Ha! it’s funny because the word is wildly inappropriate! Ha ha!
This is a “but what about China?” comment and if you can’t see that I can’t help you.
But the subject IS China, damn it’s right there in the OP.
I don’t know how you missed it, kinda weird.
The subject is the China saying “this is bad don’t do this” you nitwit
Just a head’s up, that doesn’t mean whataboutism, you sad thing
Good luck with that reading comprehension
Are you saying the CCP has done nothing that violates international laws or threaten other countries sovereignty?
I love how American minds work. “We did a terrible thing, this is bad because China might do the same!!” Meanwhile China hasn’t dripped a bomb in decades.
Fucking liberals.
lol I’m not American. Try again libtard
I’m a socialist, and I don’t give a fuck where you’re from. American Exceptionalism and Imperial Apologia doesn’t concern itself with your soil, just your words and actions.
Sit down and shut up.
China isn’t wrong.
Hey, what about those Epstein files?
The US has been scheming on taking Venezuela for at least two decades. But you are very smart for pointing out this action was a distraction from the pedo files.
Like, I think what the US has done is illegal, but it’s pretty rich coming from the country of hostage diplomacy.
Not to mention all of the other human rights abuses
Is it time to build an allie to stop Orange Hitler? Nah, let’s wait until he takes Greenland and Panama next.
Can’t ally with China, they’re ontologically evil
And the United States is what?

The US allied with the USSR to fight the Nazis. This wouldn’t be much different in my view
The US allied with the USSR to fight the Nazis.
FDR allied with Stalin to fight the Nazis. As soon as Franky kicked it, his VP Truman pivoted into Cold War mode.
Even before then, Red Scare politics in the US was rampant. Prescott Bush, Joe Kennedy, Henry Ford, The Dulles Brothers, Rockerfeller Jr, J. Edgar Hoover and a constellation of anti-communist interests agitated against the alliance with the Soviets from day one of the War.
The real alliance was between the US and UK, with Russia functioning as cannon fodder to pull German troops off the Western Front. Nobody in the West believed Russia could survive a full mechanized invasion, much less repel the Germans and race Eisenhower to Berlin.
The only US/China alliance Americans could stomach would be in similar terms, with the presumption that China would be hollowed out and inconsequential at the cessation of hostilities.
I thought the premise was Europe making an alliance with China against the US…? It wouldn’t matter what Americans could stomach at that point.
As an American, I think a de facto alliance with China is going to be forced upon us anyway (I really think Trump will let them take Taiwan, it just remains to be seen what he’ll ask for), and it will go down easier than attacking a European nation will (Greenland).
Right, kind of an enemy of my enemy sort of thing. I could definitely see the same thing happening with China in some hypothetical scenarios
Americans wouldn’t stomach it.
China wouldn’t be on the side of the US. They would be backing the opposition
“No sovereign nation is safe”
Indeed! but you’re in the jungle now, baby
Ah, the pot calling the kettle black again.
point? this is about the US. an active terrorist state. other states can be bad too. in fact they all are. but your comment serves to distract from and therefore protect the US. why?
