@tofugolem Taiwan was warned many times that sleeping with biggest global terroristUSA doesn't protect you, when push comes to shove. It makes you a potential target.

@PhoenixSerenity @tofugolem I love a good doom as much as anyone, but China does that quite regularly. When you see reports of satellite images showing 200,000 troops along with their tanks, APCs, transport ships and the entire PLAN massing on the Chinese coastline, *then* it’s on.

Until then a couple dozen aircraft is just China’s bimonthly lulz.

@Salty @PhoenixSerenity @tofugolem chill people, I live in Taiwan. They always harass us with their planes. They would need more than just planes.
@Salty @PhoenixSerenity @tofugolem however, today at my school we did have a missile drill. in 15 years living here, we've never had that....sooooo.....yeah.

@tootbrute
I have never experienced any kind of emergency military missile drill in schools. What are they like? I only know about fire drills & earthquake drills here.

@PhoenixSerenity @Salty @tofugolem took water bottles and went to the basement. Kneeled on the floor covering heads. Not sure how effective this will be.
@tootbrute @Salty @tofugolem Probably not very effective with a real big missile strike.

“Will that help?” asked the barman.

“No,” said Ford and gave him a friendly smile.
