According to a recent report by Intelligence Online, Taiwan’s deputy defense minister secretly visited Israel to seek help in developing the T-Dome.
The outlet says Israel has been providing defense technology and expertise to Taiwan under the guise of civilian programs.
Israel’s model for defense is basically just shooting fish in a barrel. It’s not at all applicable to Taiwan.
You gotta love how consistent all the regimes the west supports are at being fascists.
Xi Jinping enters chat Fucking exactly.
Stuff like this makes it very difficult to feel any sympathy to the Taiwanese cause.
On one hand, Taiwan deserves to be free from China, but on the other, relying on an openly genocidal country for it…
Isn’t Taiwan China? The name of the country is literally The Republic of China.
These are two sides of a civil war that never ended.
Yes, but Taiwan has been functionally independent for over 70 years now, and have a very different social, political and economic context from mainland China.
According to wikipedia, it is a violation of the constitution of the Republic of China (Taiwan) for Taiwan to be independent and give up its claim on the mainland.
“Free from China”
Will use Israel’s “defense” model
lol
Crazy how quick libs are to excuse genocide.
“Yeah my party does genocide but they’re the lesser evil”
“Yeah Taiwan is looking up to a genocidal state but that’s okay because it’s to stop China”
The world is complicated, and America is uncomplicated when it comes to Israel (i.e. they’re all in). I don’t think passive complicity is evil in a black and white sense given the state of the world. As an example, look at how Assad in Syria was toppled for opposing Israel and America. In a Democracy it’s even easier to be toppled than that.
That said the actions of the Taiwanese government here are bad. It’s not like Taiwan’s gonna be a country much longer anyway though given China’s extreme military infrastructure buildup around Taiwan and China’s growing chip industry. I struggle to see any path for Taiwan to avoid annexation at this point.
Except the overwhelming majority of Taiwanese people do not want to be free of China, they want the status quo to remain exactly as it is.
Well yeah if it doesn’t remain the way it is then their country will be invaded. Tons of them will die. Really understandable why they prefer the status quo. Which which is a de facto, if uneasy and probably nerve wrecking, from of freedom.
They want the status quo because China has officially stated they’ll invade if Taiwan declares independence.
I think the main reason they want the status quo is that they are already effectively an independent nation (just not “officially”), and that any change to the status quo is simply a significant risk to the continued functioning of their effective independent status.
“iSrAeL ‘vAlUaBlE MoDeL’ fOr dEfEnSe”
More like model for genocide.
They must be doing something right though. Got the whole world licking their balls.
Taiwan to be fair could use some of that.
Step 1 align with America
they already are, and if conditions are right they could get away with a lot of shit.
Yikes!
