Given the joke of US military whose proxies are being slaughtered in Ukraine, the bases and military presence do not mean anything. Yes, they can kill innocent civilians in Afghanistan or Iraq that's all good those morons are good for.

People slaughtered in Ukraine by Russian nazis aren't "proxies", they are civilians. To a Russian this distinction might be hard to understand, but civilised countries generally try to fight armies instead of levelling cities. Note how civilian casualties in Syria were order of magnitude higher than in Afghanistan?

You are welcome to believe whatever nonsense you want to believe. The point remains, PRC decides whats to be done with the island of Taiwan. And US interference will only lead to annihilation of US. As a citizen of the 85% of the world's population who have not sanctioned Russia, we are firmly supportive.

Again, couple of months ago one could say the same about Ukraine and Russia. Then Rashists spectacularly lost the entire western front.

If my memory serves me right (and it rarely fails), you are someone whom I have up-voted countless number of times with my old account and occasionally using this one. I am pretty sure you are not an idiot (like many of the top commenters in this forum) who believes that "Ukraine is winning" or "Russia is doing badly in this war" because of ideological reasons, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are misinformed.

I think if you live in reality it’s pretty undeniable that Russia is doing badly in this war.

Russias man power has been so degraded they had to resort to recruiting people from prisons and forced conscription of Ukrainians in Luhansk and Donbas.

Russias heavy armour has been destroyed so badly that we are seeing T62s rolled out to the front lines. These T62s are so old they don’t even use the 3 man setup that all more modern Russian takes do because they don’t have a autoloader.

Russia is also incapable of protecting territory it has captured. The occupied territories of Ukraine regularly have car bombs and ammo depots explode, Crimea even has Russian air bases spontaneously exploding so much all Russian tourists fled back to Russia.

The West really needs to work on it’s education system, if this is the level of critical analysis and thought you see in a forum which claims to be above average intelligence.

The PRC doesn't even get to decide who goes to Taiwan, who do you reason that they get to decide what is done with Taiwan?.
