“China right now is Germany in 1930. It’s on the cusp. It could go one way or the other. The younger generation is so patriotic, almost ultranationalistic.”
China speaks about Taiwan exactly as Hitler did about Sudetenland in 1938.
Our historical problem was that almost nobody really listened and believed what the Nazis were saying and declaring between 1933 -1939.
For example, mostly anything China says (even the most hardcore threats) is considered “oh thats interesting messaging”, instead of signs of a real life plan, at least in eyes of most Europeans. There is huge underestimating how real this shit is.
Because almost nobody watches the real-life indicators of Chinese war prep, which are coupled with the speeches. Is it scary, we are sleepwalking into losing World War 3.
My god the space given to the words of this aggressor. Shouldn't this ...
"Taiwan expressed regret about Dong’s “provocative, irrational” comments."
...Have been the second para? Or maybe the first?
