    It blows my mind that people in Taiwan are looking at what’s happening in Ukraine and continue thinking that throwing their lot with US is a good idea.

      I am sure the people of taiwan are largely opposed to these stupid policies but they’re powerless to do anything, lets remember that the fascists purged anyone that was remotely leftist.

      Hosting american troops in your country means you’re not the authority in your country, it is as simple as that.

        Good point, having a “democracy” where you have first past the post and control the coalition of parties that each get like 20% of the vote is a good way to keep driving Taiwan off the cliff.

      To be fair the DPP lost the popular vote in the last presidential election I think in part because Taiwanese people saw how the US manipulated Ukraine. They just kept control of the presidency because the KMT and the TPP failed at negotiating a joint ticket.
