>>389755As much as I want to larp and say the ROC are the inheritors of the mainland (I mean, legally, they should be) the fact of the matter is most people on taiwan agree. with invasion out of the question the only possible way the roc takes china back is if the prc starts shit and then gets absolutely stomped, AND the powers that be are kind enough to return the mainland instead of just swapping out the current dictator for one more friendly to their interests.
so, the only real political parties in taiwan are the one that wants taiwan to be its own country completely separate from china and the other one which wants (((closer trade))) and (((friendly relations))) with china, which is most likely a plant, if that wasnt obvious. many taiwanese do in fact just want to be like "fuck the civil war, we lost, we're done, we're our own country now" but china insists they're a rogue province. so the beef is entirely the PRC's doing. As for Korea, Koreans are just crazy people. the South are generally pretty hardline right and the North hasn't known anything but what KJU has blasted directly into their brains, being mainly anti-South and anti-American demonization, so they're always at cold war with one another because they just can't stop fighting. reminds me of another group of two warring retards in the middle east that can't make peace with one another because they want to own a patch of dirt nobody else cares about. I guess with SK it makes a bit more sense, though. Their only real ally in the event shit kicks off is Japan and Amellica but even then it's a peninsula so who's to say NK, or worse, China, wouldn't just blockade the whole thing if they got invaded. They're surrounded by NK, China, and Russia albeit Russia is kind of a nothingburger rn because Putin is a dumbass.
>all that shit about oilskimmed it because it's 1:30 and im tired. yep. trump is a retard. china is doing the smart thing for their situation and getting ahead on EVs. cant say i didnt expect it to have some cynical reason behind it. it all comes down to money, fuck the environment, right? still, it's a good development. I saw a video just yesterday about the state of Russia and I saw many parallels. Rutaka has to wait in line for gas because Russia is rationing gas now. Polls are beginning to turn against Putin, but in Russian politics there's a phenomenon called "The Good Tsar and Bad Boyars", basically it started with Ivan the Terrible, according to the guy in the vid, whenever he would fuck up on some policy or another, he would address the people and be like
>i did everything i could>but it was my cabinet/the nobility/the church/the merchants who tricked me! they're hiding things from you and me! they're working with the enemy!and then people would get purged and the screw-up of a leader would get to save face by giving those who liked him a valve through which to cope, being "our leader never screws up, he's just surrounded by rotten people, he's one of us and he's being tricked!"
remind you of any modern american political movement?
anyways yeah once we hit the bottom of the oil reserves we're gonna be in the same boat with the russians. i wonder if after the airplane crashes, boat predator missile strikes, north korean farmers killed, evidence he was close to a child trafficker, scandals, and general dumbfuckery people will start to notice how dumb this all is when they're waiting in a 4 hour line to pour 36 gallons of gas (if they can afford that, lol. who's to say the govt is even gonna subsidize it?) into their stupid-ass raised 2025 ford f150.
very tired when i wrote this, excuse me if i said any falsehoods
