You’re the one playing semantic games! Fuck, my point was that this new transfer is different
No, your point was the incorrect assumption based on headline reading and tankie telephone games that the US hadn’t supplied Taiwan with weaponry before, which is patently false.
and you jumped up my ass trying to pretend like zero escalation has happened and this is nothing new. This is clearly new! This is clearly a step above what we were doing before, and Democrats are selling out refugees to keep doing it (or did you forget what this thread is about?)
I still can’t tell if you’re just fucking stupid or disingenuous, or both. The bill in question, the bill in the article, the entire conversation around it, has nothing to do with Taiwan; Taiwan is something unrelated you brought up to wank over how evil and WARMONGERING the Democrats are for not sucking a dictator’s toes like you do and how it’s a “powder keg” that obviously slightly more military equipment over the next 10 years will cause to BLOW UP and FORCE the POOR OPPRESSED PRC to LIBERATE Taiwan the same way Russia is fucking liberating the Donbass right now.
But surely you realize that subsidized transaction is different from pure financial transaction!
In terms of ‘escalation’, not really. 6 billion free after selling almost 100 billion worth isn’t anything more than token support.
Taiwan doesn’t have to invade for these weapons to be used against China, you realize this right? All it takes is one boat being sunk because China is trying to control trade routes into Taiwan.
“Oh no, how terrible, Taiwan won’t let China use military force to control who gets in and out of Taiwan, it’s a good thing this is an Anti-Imperialist™ move by China!”
