Is Taiwan the next Ukraine?

 

By Don Hank

I frankly don’t understand why Taiwan doesn’t cut all ties with the US. 

Ukraine gave the most graphic and conspicuous lesson to the world as to what inevitably happens to countries that side with the US and accept gifts (Trojan horses) from Washington to “defend” themselves from the countries representing the multipolar world (Global South and BRICS).

Can the message that Ukraine destroyed itself economically and essentially lost its sovereignty and independence by accepting the US Trojan Horse be any plainer or clearer?

This is the price any country will pay for cultivating independence on Washington!

Is any other interpretation even possible?

The analogy between the possibility of Taiwan’s accepting US weapons and also, [now happening], boots on the ground and Ukraine’s accepting the same “gift” from Uncle Sam is spectacularly obvious. Yet it looks like there still are separatists in Taiwan who are eager to fall into the same trap that Kiev fell into. There’s one born every minute!

It is no secret that by accepting the US “gift” to fight Russia, Ukraine lost its sovereignty (because it became a vassal of the US), the majority of its population, especially its male population, its economy (it is almost totally dependent on the US-backed West for its income), its war, and the part of its people who still possess reason and common sense are the biggest losers, having become slaves or prisoners of the extremists (Neo-nazis), who right now are scouring the streets for males, any males, to forcibly press into the service in the front lines now very accurately called “meat grinders,” Where the survival  rate is measured in days.

Thus, for Ukraine, accepting the “help” of Washington is, literally, suicide.

It is mind boggling that even one Taiwanese would even so much as flirt with the possibility of accepting US weapons to fight their brothers across the strait.
