I had to check if this article was from The Onion

The drunk uncles are giving statements again.
Can’t believe he figured it out. What a shame. Guess we’ll have to go provoke another country to invade our fellow flourishing independent democracies, who play a key role in the world’s trade.
Seriously though, I hope he’s just giving himself an easy out here. There’s always too much war going on.
I thought Taiwan was China? Hard to invade yourself, eh, Xi?
Uh … Yeah you got us… All a trick, darn guess our dastardly plan failed and you won’t invade Taiwan now
Taiwan has a right to defend itself if it chooses to.
With US troops?
Ukraine has a right to defend itself, but US troops are not deployed in Ukraine.
I’m talking about Taiwan, but Ukrainians are defending themselves with American weapons, intelligence and training.
I believe it was released that there are 14 special force members in Ukraine as well.
The Green Berets are the army’s spec ops that focus on training foreign fighters, specially chosen for things like foreign language proficiency. They’re not Rangers or general light infantry. Ideally they’re not really supposed to get into direct combat, as they’re rather time consuming and difficult to replace.
I would bet a whole bunch of money that we actually do have Green Berets present in Ukraine as well, though the only people that would know that for sure would be the US govt, the Ukrainians and probably Russian intelligence.
If the 101st Airborne gets deployed to Taiwan, then I’d be worried.
Green Berets are just as worrying. It means US is training locals, preparing for yet another proxy war or brutal crackdown on any real or potential opposition against place being subjugated to US empire.

If they didn’t want them, they could just ask them to leave. If the leader disagreed, the people could vote for a different leader.
It doesn’t. The vast majority of countries recognize the PRC having sovereignty over Taiwan, as does the UN. There is no right to separatism or anything like that. Rather the PRC has the right to enforce their sovereignty. The US btw has no right to send to troops into China, that’s an act of war.
Is the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party the same person as the President of Taiwan, then?

If you are talking about the President of Taiwan, are you comparing a role that’s existed since 1 January 1912 (25 October 1945 in its current form) to one that existed 18 February 1861 – 5 May 1865 and had exactly one officeholder?
They are. And they’re comparing glorious revolutionary China to the dastardly imperialist pig dogs in the US.
Tankies are a confused bunch.
There is no morality to statehood - just cost-benefit analysis

The same Xi that violates Taiwan’s airspace continuously. That increases the airspace violations whenever Taiwan does something that he doesn’t like, like democratically electing pro-independence politicians or when US politicians visit Taiwan.
Yeah sure Xi, the only reason you threaten Taiwan’s democracy is because the US tricked you into it.

XI is way too smart to push deep into the nether regions of Taiwan, especially after being briefed by Wang.
