Taiwan can stay independent or go to hell. Just don't call us when Xi decides that their time is up. After all, it was the US who helped China and the PLA to be what they are today.

Great post. Thank you.

Back to my question...If Floyd's life was so precious, let's speculate for a moment what his loving family would rather have - Floyd or 20 big ones?

If Taiwan was part of China after 1945 even for one minute, it was part of China. The fact that the government of China "escaped" to Taiwan and that commies are bad people has zero relevance.

Life / What do Polish people think of the Asia and Middle East? [86]


I am not claiming that they are comparable. Only to deny the US the right to bi*tch about how unjust and illegal similar events are. Using the Civil War as a reference, every annexation, conquest, and disregard of the "will of the people" is pure bs. Which gives China a license to take Taiwan at any time it wants.

Life / What do Polish people think of the Asia and Middle East? [86]


But a sure proof that they want to stay as a breakaway from China the way the South wanted to stay separate from the US. No difference except for the thousands of dead Americans.

I appreciate the compliment (I am assuming it was a compliment) and admit to my only imperfection and the tendency to skip words that my brain - yes, I have one - thinks are there but are, in fact, missing. It's a well-known mental disorder so I am not the only one.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]


If they knew and supported it - yes. In 1938 and on, Germans knew about and supported the acquisitions and wars.

To keep things simple, we are allowed good-faith abbreviations. Like Poland vs the Republic of Poland. "Nazi Germany" is not a good-faith abbreviation. It's an in-your-face, flagrant editorial.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]


Wrong and wrong.

Soviet:

1. an elected local, district, or national council in the former Soviet Union.
2. a citizen of the former Soviet Union.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]


They should always use the official names. Editorializing names to convey feelings is dishonest.
There never was a "Nazi army". It was the German army and so was everything else - including the extermination camps.
When Germany was paying reparations to Israel, did the German government charge only the ex-Nazis? That was a rhetorical question.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]


Before the breakup, it was the USSR or Soviet Union. Today, it's Russia or Russian Federation.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]

What I resent is this woke Western desire to spare your feeling with "it's the Nazis" line. At the very worst, British documentaries will say, "Nazi Germany" - as if there were two Germanys back then.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]


The Soviets. There was no such thing as "Stalinists". You are making this crap up to justify your "Nazis".
Off-subject but telling...Do blacks want reparations from the slave owners' estates or from the US taxpayers - including me?


And you would be right in a different conversation. This one is about German barbarisms.

Life / What do Polish people think of the Asia and Middle East? [86]

You would be correct but for the fact that nobody has any territorial claims against the United States. China does relative to Taiwan. I wish they would just take it and be done. We don't even recognize it as a country and have no embassy there. Just some semi-private outfit that represents "the interests". BFD!

The trillion-dollar question is what the US do if China invaded Taiwan. Probably as much as it did when Crimea returned to Russia.
Sometimes, being powerless is a good thing as it stops idiots from acting like idiots.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]


I will when you drop that "Nazi" crap. It was the Germans, not just the Nazis, who cheered and supported "Hitler and his cronies" with smiles on their faces and love in their hearts when their brothers were killing people who did them no wrong.

Then came Stalingrad...and the smiles were gone.
Luckily, the Soviets didn't know the fate of their brothers taken prisoner by the barbarians or they would be justified in executing yours right there and then. Every last one for not applying for visas.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]


If this is your answer, then it was Hitler, not Nazis.
Again, who decided to drop the nukes? Americans or the Democrats?

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]


Who dropped the nukes? Americans or the Democrats?

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]


It was the Germans. That "Nazi" line is used to suggest that there were Germans in the German army that didn't want to have any of that and simply disobeyed the orders that were inhumane.

The US is at least honest and never claims that it was the Democrats who dropped the nukes. It was the US and the Americans. No whitewashing.

What did Hitler and his cronies do?..they let them starve to death!
"Hitler and his cronies" were a dozen guys. It was the millions of "good" Germans who "let them starve to death".

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]

Stalingrad was more significant. It was not the American tanks that rolled through and liberated Poland.

Read this

and you will realize that my "casual" way is saner and that Taiwan should be incorporated into China under the one-China policy that even the US obediently follows.

Well stated. I wish every woman would follow this rule. In 90% of cases when a woman is raped and murdered, it always starts with: 2 am, drunk, and trusting.

Thanks.


Irrelevant.


A very good comparison. The South was part of the US and decided to break away. Taiwan was part of China and decided to break away.

Over the years, I noticed that it's impossible to have a normal conversation with drunks and religious nuts.

95% of bad things happen at 2 am while drunk.

Taiwan in part of China just as the South was part of the US.

Here, thanks to me, the Russophobe value is 0.95. I can't perform miracles so I am just doing my very best to drag it down.

With Poles and Germans having a lovefest, that task should be a lot easier but it's not.

Life / What do Polish people think of the Asia and Middle East? [86]


For exactly the same reasons why the North attacked the South and has occupied it ever since.


Xi doesn't care what "we" need.


China can "occupy" Taiwan just like Poland can "occupy" Warsaw.

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

Even with the greedy bastards on K street and their wh*ores at the DoD, the US is not going to a nuclear war with Russia over anything like Crimea, Ukraine, polonium 210, or Novichok. In that sense, MAD works and I am glad that both Russia, China, and NK have nukes. Wish North Vietnam had them in 1955 and 60,000 Americans wouldn't have died for nothing.
