At this point Japan is more likely to invade and attack Taiwan then China. You can guarantee their imperial nostalgic government isn't going to be happy about seeing a former colony they still see as theirs' choosing to reunite with China and they will make up whatever bullshit they can.
It's almost like there is a link between anti-communism and people that are shitty.
Yes, let's start wars with multiple countries while we are failing to even pay our own troops, truly a big brain move.
Socialism doesn't work, yet we have to constantly embargo/sanction/bomb socialist countries to keep them from rising while at the same time having to throw billions to other capitalists to keep them from sinking.
Truly no other choice. Can't let Russia win in Ukraine or else Russia is then going to sail their entire army through the North Sea to conquer Britain next. Call of Duty plots have taught me as much.
The ASEAN countries joining seems like a big deal since they were supposed to be the US's alternatives to China's manufacturing. The only other big alternative is Mexico who is also drifting closer to BRICS.
"It's just for fun bro. It's not like we know that the Empire's design in Star Wars was explicitly based off the Axis powers, and that we are subtly attempting to normalize pro-fascist sentiment and aesthetics under the guise of fandom for a fictional entity."
The US now added Japan to it's currency manipulation watchlist, lol.
Imagine the US pushing Europe into war with Russia and then at the last second is like nah, you got this, keep buying our overpriced hardware and you'll be fine.
Nazis: Marxism is bad because it's jewish.
Liberals: Marxism is bad because it hates jews.
Marxists: Bruh.
Perhaps so, but now Russia no longer has McDonald's or Pizza Hut.
Yeah otherwise it's some serious taking others for stupid behavior on Saudi Arabia's part, making a non-aggression pact without expelling or at least making legal exceptions for foreign bases effectively grants those bases invulnerability. If Mexico hypothetically starting allowing to China to send over loads of troops and build tons of military bases, and then later China attacks the US from those bases, then the US would obviously view that as an act of war on Mexico's part.
