Through such actions, China aims to dismantle the myth of U.S. “security guarantees” solidified by the military-backed U.S. dollar hegemony, dealing it a severe blow.

Now that’s a task. Myth of US security guarantees is dismantled visibly ever since Vietnam and has been repeatedly dismantled again and again ever since, but there still are governments that believe it. Or are comprador enough to do it anyway (i strongly suspect it is the latter, no one can be this dumb).

Obama participated in 12 wars, i wouldn’t call this “lite” by any means.

Coincidentally just after Japan dropped 1/5th of their dollar bond reserve, some 63 billion.

A literal application of the meme

The myth of consensual diplomacy. They forgot to ask USA for permission.

This isn’t even a real community lol

That also happened 300 million years ago.

Originally it was like 1% chance, some people didn’t seen it at all.

So basically deliberate provocation.

Unless you suggest that KMT is a nationality or ethnicity, 95-97% of Taiwan population is Han Chinese (mostly Hoklo and Hakka), and barely 2% are indigenous.

It’s partially about names too, note how when talking about their own leaders they very often use their title, sometimes even just the title, but when speaking about who they percieve as enemy they do opposite, often omitting title and using just name - it’s to create impression that “ours” is the fully legal democratic leader working within the democratic system, and “other” is rogue despot.

Next, it is to create impession that the “other” is (nearly) entirely responsible for whatever the “others” are doing. It’s not the people, it’s not the system, and certainly not if he got popular support (you can’t ever said that), no, it’s their wicked despot. Purpose of this is to avoid making materialist analysis of current conditions and politics, it’s always Great (mad) Man at the helm. It also allows for smooth propaganda pass in case of the man got removed by the colour revolution - suddenly the country became good (good savages often) when it’s getting subordinated to the west. It also allow to avoid chauvinist connotation for the western lib audience - “hate the leader not the people” (again elephant in the room is question what if said leader have wide popular support).

President of what? East India Company, considering the wording.

Green Berets are just as worrying. It means US is training locals, preparing for yet another proxy war or brutal crackdown on any real or potential opposition against place being subjugated to US empire.

Hans Christian Andersen fables. At least it traumatised me long ago, unlike any other fairy tale books, which i had plenty.

No, i’ve cut myself with the paper like 50 times more often.

“Peace” summit without inviting the other side is a blatant farce. it’s just the next attempt to make neutral countries pour money into that war, it’s a war summit.

He could just visit US embassy and it would be the same but probably much quicker.

Monroe Doctrine in shambles.

Turkey would probably informed Russia immediately, or maybe Polish minister would brag on twitter like in case of Nordstream sabotage.
