@DOGEQEEN I live in a muslim country, 4 out of my 5 immediate neighbors (in a tightly packed terrace housing area) are muslim. I've had two very noisy dogs for 5 years now. They have never mentioned it once.
@bulgarbrutalit2@imcnbot01 The problem with this alternate universe is that we already have the real world to refer to, and they were unequivocally the unsustainable side in the civil war, Chiang's cooperation and help from the US aside.
@bulgarbrutalit2@imcnbot01 And that's why the Communists, at least with Soviet aid, were inevitably the only realistic option when it comes to an anti-imperialist, unified China. The RoC was simply in too much of a difficult position, other domestic problems aside.
@bulgarbrutalit2@chaoxi2026_ What you're describing is almost the bare minimum he could have done in comparison to the rest of their cooperation. This dooms his position in the civil war and his ability to "resist" US imperialism if their aid to him became that crucial either way.
@nyaraVT "Israel funded woke" is getting dangerously close to its original formulation. Now one just needs to determine if they equate Israel with Jews.
@GWAMtweets You mean Ethan was wrong to not immediately hand everything over to Matt Hoss based solely on the accusation of copyright infringement and nothing else?
@bulgarbrutalit2 Yes, that is precisely the problem. We don't have to speculate which would have been the stronger force in a theoretical civil war, because it already happened. Moreover, aid from the US also dried up because the RoC was horrifically corrupt and poorly led to begin with.
