Lot of people here saying "why should we care about Ukraine?"
Well:
- Crimea now Russian
- Hong Kong now Chinese
- Afghanistan now RU/CN aligned taleban
- LNR
- DNR
- Africa now supported by B&R Initiative and CN development spending
At what point do we say that the west has broadly given up on being a major international player? America and its allies will soon find themselves dangerously irrelevant and cut off from setting the rules. In 50 years, your children will install WeChat and be surveilled by TenCent, the same way that America currently has with Google, Apple, Facebook, etc. When Taiwan's current population grows old and dies they will end up voluntarily joining China, the dominant economic and political force rather than sit as a peer to a west that's a shadow of it's former self.
Pics of "I hope Russians kill you *wave flag*" is degenerate "surrender to communism to own the libs" posting. America get your house in order rather than cutting off your nose to spite your face.
