Nett hier, aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg?

@davidonformosa that said, yes i agree China is way too sensitive on this issue (tho understandably)

If a Sicilian man chanted "Sicilly" and not Italy in a sports event, or if a Scotsman chanted Scotland and not "UK", nobody would bat an eye.

None of these other regions are breakaway independent regions though.

@davidonformosa Are they indegenous taiwanese? In which case i feel like this is falsely manufactured outrage over China.

Conversely, if they're chinese, then they're chinese.. Isn't the official name of taiwan The Republic of China? They maintain they're chinese and that they're the legitimate government of China, still claiming the entirity of China. Seems like an internal affair to me, why meddle in this

@mkoek
b) No, countries shouldn't have the right to just join any treaty or organization if it threatens the peace/security of the region, i'm sorry. In the same way Brazil shouldn't have the right to burn down the Amazon, because it would threaten life on this planet.

Legalistically, yes sure, a sovereign state can join whichever treaty it wants..

But outside of that, if you ever thought Russia was gonna sit by while Ukraine joined NATO, after repeated warnings, then...

@mkoek I don't understand why seeing a rationale behind smth must imply condoning.

a) yea let's see which power wouldn't do that, then we can sing kumbaya together.

The US would neeever do that, right. And i would protest like hell if the US invaded Cuba over Guantanamo if Cuba threatened to annex it. But it doesn't take a genius to see that the US would invade, right?

@kravietz What do you even mean? You don't even have to listen to the russians, the americans admit it themselves. Have you not heard about the Nuland phone call?
@kravietz @BrianJopek the US was involved in Yanukovich's coup and Russia wasn't about to let the US do a regime change in Ukraine let it join NATO and lose their base in Sevastopol. It's also true the loudest people about Ukraine do not fight in Ukraine and will happily let the war go on forever, so they invoke notions such as war of survival, putin is the new hitler, ukrainians are dying to defend us.. i mean if you believe that so strongly why don't you go fight the war yourself
@mcnado Sorry but what was the US doing in Iraq in the first place? Involved in coup and war was it
@BenCisco I don't see how that's relevant. The US is a consistent war mongering rogue state whether the clown in the white house is red or blue. The US foreign policy is run by Israel. We would have had the same war with Kamala.
@rebane2001 Feels like code abuse
