China will not go to war in or over Taiwan sort of the USA doing its common narcissistic psychopathic thing of instigating, orchestrating, and agitating for aggression. It seems though that some parts of the world have started understanding how to defuse and counter the narcissistic, psychopathic abusive cabal that controls the USA and is constantly agitating for war, destruction, and world domination due to some schizophrenic messianic self-fulfilling prophecies.

That’s some solid whataboutism. USA certainly has its leadership issues right now. I won’t argue that for a moment. But China was running military exercises off Taiwan and building artificial islands to lie about their territorial waters for years without being able to blame the US for it.

You should understand what “whataboutism” is before you make accusations of it.

Yeah, and Putin will definitely never invade Ukraine! Any suggestion to the contrary is just blatant American warmongering.

They are not the same situation. I won’t list all the reasons, but in broad strokes; Taiwan is a Pacific Ocean away from the warmongering USA (in American, btw, and a life long member of the war machine), Taiwan is not culturally inclined as Ukraine, Taiwan is not led by an alien group, China has time on their side, China has proximity on their side, China’s has dependency on its side, China has civilizational momentum on its side, China can see what has been done to the USA by a parasitic group from within. I could make a list that is several pages long, but it all amounts to the fact that at this point China really only has to be patient and offer some carrots, which Taiwan can already clearly see itself.

America is a society and component of a civilization that has never really understood itself or its place in the world and history. We peaked in the industrial warfare of WWII, and then bumbled our way through trying to rely on our past self-involved achievement.
