That’s why he did it the day before invading. Putin was hoping his separatists in DPR and LPR could weaken Ukraine without getting his hands dirty. When he saw that wasn’t working, he got involved.
Yes, that’s kinda what pro-Russian separatists are supposed to do. Next you’ll tell me CPC members in Taiwan want one country, two systems.
Sorry I’m still not seeing it
What do you mean? Taiwan is a part of China. It’s already one country
Oh boy can you start another dunk thread on this so I can flex my myopic, limited understanding of complex socio-political situations and make another fool of myself?
nobody should be getting as owned as you are twice in 24 hours, that’s just cruel
Not a bad idea tbh, you’re incredibly uninformed and that’s what we thrive on.
You suffer so other people can learn

No reason to, you haven’t posted anything dunk-worthy with regards to Taiwan. I posted this thread to the dunk tank because I thought the callous disregard for human lives was dunk worthy, not because you didn’t know enough about Ukraine or something.
Most of us here are westerners, we all se the same stories, we all know what we were told in school.
There’s no shame in being misinformed, we all are - the shame is choosing to stay misinformed, when one is confronted with it. I try to read up on the takes that I disagree with, to see where they are coming from and wether I might be in the wrong.
This also generally seems to be the culture of hexbear, which is why users are constantly asking for sources - it’s not to do some smug gotcha, but instead to do some investigation and possibly self-crit.
I am not super well-versed in Taiwan, so if you want to know a lot I would recommend searching thru this site. There are lot of good effortposts with first-hand sources. I know @robinn2@hexbear.net has posted a lot and knows a lot about China, so you could also look thru his account for good knowledge.
I will however just to be quick point out that the United States itself does not recognize Taiwan as a country - really no one does. They all recognise the one china policy.
