China should definitely subjugate Taiwan
Only you guys seem to think this.
You’re obsessed with global conquest and you think you’re in a race with China to do it.
who have benefitted from trillions of dollars of trade from the US.
Have they? Why is Taiwanese standard of living so low?
I must be going colorblind because those ships are flying a very red American flag…
You’re spitting distance from the coast of Fujain. I gotta wonder why you’d expect to see an American warship on the Chinese coastline.
Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers USS Antietam (CG 54) and USS Chancellorsville (CG 62) are conducting a routine Taiwan Strait transit August 28 (local time) through waters where high seas freedoms of navigation and overflight apply in accordance with international law.
Crazy how it’s international waters when an American warship is in them.
I really doubt that any Chinese civilian on Chinese soil is going to get so much as a dirty look from any US armed forces…
Liberals will be in the middle of a bombing run on Venezuela and stop to complain about Chinese aggression
Wouldn’t be the first time
Sadly those numbers aren’t that unbelievable
They’re absurdly unbelievable.
But for the “everyone is stupid except me” crowd, they provide a certain confirmation bias.
I’ve seen limited evidence to suggest the audience is material. A lot of these numbers are farmed for engagement and to inflate ad revenue. A lot are just channels that auto play when people aren’t paying attention.
There’s definitely an audience of little kids who are just strapped to pads with nothing better to do. But it can’t be overstated how fudged these audience numbers can get.
YouTube claims their Shorts channel gets 200 billion views per day. There’s only 5 billion Internet users on Earth.
Guy who has never seen a world map
Except that was a peaceful process, not an invasion/annexation
The only invasion I’m seeing is US Navy vessels encircling the island and threatening their economy.
they hold a gun to the head of pretty much all of the most advanced chip fabrication in the world
That’s been the American line for going on ten years. But the real gun has always been the Pacific Fleet, threatening to repeat the crimes of Vietnam on Chinese civilians, much like they did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and now Venezuela and Nigeria.
Scammers gonna scam
Most Bond villains are just eccentric billionaires using Sci-Fi technologies to become trillionaires through commodity speculation.
That’s what Jaime Diamon and Warren Buffett have been doing for the last fifty years.
If you can’t read that as “US are bad guys” that’s on you, brother
The long game of Beijing politics is to just be nice to Taiwan while Americans grow increasingly unhinged.
Famously what happened during German unification
What is this? A statue for ants?!
Add I understand it, permanent residency also requires a language exam and doesn’t guarantee employment rights (because French voters don’t want people “stealing jobs”). So it’s more complicated than that.
He could do it for under $500K.
Oh, is that all? Let me check my couch for loose change.
If he’s bought and invested more than a certain amount in a home as well, that also counts towards citizenship.
I’m sure he has a home in the South of France. Probably walking distance from the Cannes movie festival
You’ll find more US naval drills around Okinawa, Japan and The Philippines, far from any US shoreline.
