I have been to Taiwan. It is a beautiful place and the people are wonderful. I don't want them to be a political football kicked back and forth by the US and China, so my hope is that it can be resolved peacefully in a way that the majority of the people vote to decide. If that means reunification with the mainland, then so be it.

Never let a crisis go to waste. The different factions within the Trump administration are using the signal controversy to get rid of people and take power

Yes, and for decades there has been no due process for the people that the police executed. So I mean while this is an escalation, it's not as much of one as people make it out to be

Lmao putting a tariff on Taiwan. Truly being an ally to America is deadly

So literally the moment you get a better job, they call the FBI and try to rendition you to a black site for torture?

The FBI has been harassing collegiant faculty of Chinese heritage for like a decade now, accusing them of secretly working for the evil cee cee pee.

As someone who rewrote a "simple" application, moving it from PHP to Python with the huge assistance of Django and lots of existing libraries, and it "only" took 3 years, I wish them good luck. I'm sure they'll do great. 🙄

Erdogan has always been bad, objectively. However he was useful to America so they kept him in power.

I think Turkey acquiring the S-500(?) missile system while being in the F35 program really set off alarm bells in Washington and I think after the successful coup in Syria and replacement a more pliant regime, Washington has set its sights on Turkey and hope to install an even more compliant regime there.
