Watch this sick prank where I take hormones for a year and get top surgery, it'll totally trick those guys!

Having Lolita as your favorite book is odd but can be defensible, describing it as a "love story" is something fucking else. It's like calling "The Little Matchstick Girl" an "entrepreneurship story".

They were literally running out of missiles and getting resupplied several times each just on the night of the 7th/8th. The epitome of "so anyway, I started blasting"

Also bullets, of course. They basically burned through all their ammo without "choosing targets carefully" for hours.

Also, do they apply to cars?

I'm sorry that you and the people on this instance are being subjected to that shit. It's always despicable but on top of that it just seems absurd to target lemm.ee -- a deliberately unprofitable platform -- with such illegal means.

Comparing yourself to Yezhov is worse than anything we've said to you

Just an endless slew of clickbait "China bad" headlines all the time. Really makes you wonder about if there is some sort of systemic problem with western media.

I started writing out a timeline but I don't know what position you're asking from so I will say for the sake of brevity that the US kept the KMT from being run out of all of China so that the US could us the island as a threat against China -- as it also attempted to do in Korea when it had more-or-less complete control of the southern half. Taiwan spent about 40 years as a military dictatorship killing tens of thousands of dissidents, native Formosans, and others (this was called the "White Terror"), while their patron the US looked the other way while it pumped resources into the country (for the ruling class, mind you) to use the island as a sweatshop site in the interim. This legacy and its connections to fellow US puppet South Korea and US ally Japan go a long way to explaining its current capacity in manufacturing, which make up its other value to the US besides geographical position.

Both Taiwan and SK have made various attempts to assert themselves (with some success in both cases), but with the pathetic diplomatic position of the former and the continued military occupation of the latter by the US, I think "puppet state" is a fair title for them, perhaps as much as Israel, but that's its own can of worms.

I didn't really intend on getting into litigating this topic, but I'm happy to discuss it as best I can.

I literally quoted the part that you just also quoted, which specifies that some of the craft were merely in the ADIZ, the one thing I was talking about in my comment
