They just didnt give a damn.
Well, Russia and China are great power competition, and we are in the age of great power competition, so - when writing US military strategy, we thought, the 50 year old One China policy, really is outdated, because the Taiwanese arent chinese citizens, they really have attained their own national identity over the past years, and so - yes, I’ve heard that the US military advised, that it wouldnt be a good moment for to Pelosi visit, but I dont think, that we should be told anything by China and…
… on she went.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
Diese Gesellschaft ist das absolut fucking Letzte.
“Because its democracies vs autocracies!”
Turns out - if you measure mandate changes (its kind of statistically questionable, but not an unthinkable thing to do) in conflicts with US participation, the US increased the frequency of conflicts they were involved in in the post cold war area - most of them against states with a higher democracy rating than in previous interventions. Not targeting ones with lower democracy ratings. All the while using “spreading democracy” as a pretense. Thats funny, isnt it?
