How DARE the Taiwanese people defend their freedom!!!
Fucking Lemmygrad propagandist.

By the way, you might also want to see what the hexbears are saying if you think the Lemmygrad propagandists are bad. Here's a link in case your instance has defederated from them: https://lemmy.ml/post/3821052
Yeah unfortunately I'm well aware of Hexbear, what a cesspool of authoritarian propaganda.
Ah yes, because conducting the largest amphibious assault in human history on a mountainous island with dense forests would go so well... When the defenders have had almost a century to entrench their position and train literally their entire population in military service.
You start off with D-Day and jump straight into Vietnam. No military on this planet has enough conventional arms to take Taiwan by force.
If you really wanted to take over Taiwan, you could just naval blockade the island: it's substantially smaller than Cuba and has a larger population to feed.
you act as though taiwan is an unwilling partner in this. taiwan and the US are cooperating to strengthen taiwan's defensive capabilities despite your excuses
Taiwan is a country
