The DPP received significant funding from the US National Endowment for Democracy during that time. Coincidence? Probably not...
Same meddling shit that happened in Ukraine with Euromaidan and in China with Tiananmen Square. Even the US PsyOps teams themselves admit that they were responsible for those events.
I'd love to say that the Taiwanese people themselves came to the conclusion, but time and time again the US has showed that the people's choice isn't something they really respect abroad.
Ah yes, the classic "domination through trade"
Everyone knows that "Press" looks a lot like "Hamas" to the IDF target acquisition system. You need to forgive them.
And "Lebanon" looks a lot like "Occupied Israel."
Last I checked, China's been developing every energy source known to man (except O&G, because they don't have a domestic supply of O&G except in the contested waters of the SCS)...
China is the world leader in new nuclear development, new hydro development, solar panel manufacturing, wind turbine manufacturing, solar panel deployment, wind turbine deployment, electric vehicles, and carbon capture+storage.
Maybe if other economies would help pick up the slack? China's been firing on all cylinders towards green tech for decades, but it turns out that urbanizing and industrializing 1 billion people to a Western standard of living is really fucking energy-intensive. Meanwhile, everyone else is just sitting on their ass and watching.
Do you understand the sheer scale of a million refugees? That these refugees will never be allowed back?
No indication of secondary detonation in any available video.
Edit: the whole argument of "ammunition stores!" is in bad faith because we've literally spent the past two years watching munitions stores cook off in Ukraine. We know what they look like.
Edit 2: based on audio, it's pretty hard to argue that this is a fragment of a munition falling out of the sky lol
This same exact hospital has been bombed by the IDF in the past. Occam's razor exists for a reason.
As we know, journalists from BBC and Reuters and Al Jazeera are clearly Hamas fronts.
Based on intelligence from Mossad, the IDF determined that these so-called journalists were clearly operating for Hamas. Everyone knows that Reuters is a Hamas front.
Are people surprised? The IDF has never cared about civilian casualties. What's another war crime to add to the list?
Because the last time Gazans tried a peaceful protest, thousands of people got shot by the Zionist regime: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2019/02/no-justification-israel-shoot-protesters-live-ammunition
Because Palestine cannot win a conventional war against Israel.
Because Palestine cannot let the status quo continue to oppress them, because the status quo is itself encroaching on Palestinian land and Palestinian rights.
Do you have a better solution? These attacks have caused a massive flight of people from Israel, have forced the Bank of Israel to take very aggressive action to avoid the collapse of the shekel, have mobilized the countries bordering Israel, and have indicated that Palestinian resistance is not hopeless.
The IMF wants to protect private investors at the cost of country-scale investors. Once again, fuck the IMF.
