for those of you too lazy to watch:

Q: Do you forsee a scenario where America will militarily intervene if China invades Taiwan
A: No.

interview was with the former prime minister of singapore.

basically its a view that I also hold.


me too but.
However , there is always a BUT or MAYBE.

All I know is at this moment, there are population in Taiwan that wants independence , a sizable amount that wants to maintain a status quo and a number of older generation mid 30s or 40s and above wanting a peaceful reunification.
But the younger generation do want some sort of independence and they do not want to be govern like a Special Administrative region like Macau or Hong Kong.

Not everyone is interested in those Video, I thought Ferdia might be so I sent it to him to take a look.
Alot of times especially in the USA and the West, they might not come across such videos.
But these interviews can give some insight in regards to how we think in our side of the globe in regards to Russia, China, India, Taiwan situations.

it's amazing really, you repeatedly write posts ABOUT me, all of them containing insults ("piece of shit" / "trash" / "stupid" - which, btw, is a really "toxic" thing to do), but you couldn't manage to keep a discussion on-topic and had to resort to personal attacks. again, if you're afraid to debate me, just stfu about me. there's no need to just cowardly insult me every time you get triggered by a post of mine - while ironically complaining about "toxic" behaviour, lol.


You have already told everyone in this topic that you are a toxic troll. why in the world would any rational person want to attempt meaningful dialogue on that premise. Also a debate requires 2 sides to argue their point of view. Yet while I have encouraged that in this thread you have repeatedly spewed "twosideism" inferring you dont know what debate even means. You are not here to debate you are here to complain when someone provides a view other then yours.

You have repeatedly insulted users throughout your posts with comments such as "pootin apologists" when in fact (most of) the users are simply stating or providing a different viewpoint. You have already shown you cannot be reasoned with. As someone said, if you keep backing away from a bully he will run all over you. its better to stand up and tell him he is a piece of shit and to bear arms if required. which is what i am doing. I will happily defend any other user in this thread from your harrassment. I dont have to agree with the users when they voice their views, I just want them to be able to provide their views in order for debate and discussion to continue.

I will keep calling you out while you continue to insult users. If you leave manners at the door then dont be surprised when it is reciprocated.

Only because Trump was following beneficial to Putin policies like pursuing the exit of the US to NATO, which is worth waiting for. Trump didn't do anything about the bounties for American soldiers that Russia was paying out. Trump gave all American infrastructure in Syria to Putin. Trump was impeached for denying military aid to Ukraine just a few years ago.

So to Putin it is worth waiting to see how far their asset got in giving him the Soviet Union territories back. He had a lot riding on Trump.

Imagine if Trump was successful in denying aid to Ukraine and exiting NATO? Are this point Poland is back on the menu, etc.

Now Russia is running out of friends. Its going to get harder for China to continue enabling them with all these war crimes being broadcast everywhere.

Also how much actual does Russia have? Their generals get paid in rubles and drive Ferrari's, because they sell their fuel. Now they're running out all over ukraine and the generals are looking nervous.

And if you don't think Trump is a Russian asset, then try to imagine how he would act any different if he was? He just asked Putin for help against the leader of the US again.


Bountygate intel was trash bro. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/remember-those-russian-bounties-dead-u-s-troops-biden-admin-n1264215
Syrian "infrastructure" is a joke. A Hesco-walled compound with a few trailers with air conditioning, a generator, etc. You know better.

Seeing how poorly Russia is handling Ukraine, the idea that "Poland is on the menu" is comical. NATO even without the US could handle a conventional war with Russia, and France and UK are nuclear powers in their own right.

Do you think at this moment Russia have shown their military incompetence to a point that nobody thinks they are a threat apart from their Nuclear Arsenal?
Also I don't think Russia's military hardware are too far off technologically speak as compared to the USA. But I do think that it is either very badly maintained or the end users are not well versed or trained enough in this current situation.

the only problem with that little narrative of yours is that it's completely made up, and your post history proves you a liar. we were having a completely on-topic discussion when you ran out of arguments and started calling me names without ANY provocation on my part: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=92094408&f=119&p=608073015

so don't be a hypocrite, "defend" me from YOUR "harassment" and simply stfu about me - i can't force you to stop the lazy bothsidesisms, i can't force you to put things into perspective, i can't force you to be honest or debate anyone - but i can call out your toxic behaviour and hypocrisy, your constant personal insults and double standards. be the person you want others to be.

Today i read about confined Shangai and i nearly rejected my lunch on the plate.
They say there's no toilets in positive cases camps ?


Also, small children being separated from their parents and the pets of infected being clubbed to death if there's no neighbors to take care of them.
Remember folks, China's totalitarian ZeroCovid-dystopia was also the approach that most of the Western virologists, epidemiologists, modellers and public health experts preferred and pushed for.

so poland's fear of russia: nah, totally unrealistic, because they are in nato
russia's alleged fear of nato: totally something we should take seriously and use as excuse for their war of aggression against their neighbour

also, why could ukraine POSSIBLY want to join nato then?

pootin apologists really committing to the clown makeup...


YOUR COUNTRY IS CONTINUING THE WAR BY NOT STOPPING THE IMPORTS OF RUSSIAN OIL AND GAS.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEAD CHILRDREN IN UKRAINE.
