Very true. Although the sad thing is I think the communists are smart by not declaring open war. The Nazi's got away with a lot of shit for a long time, but they made the mistake of having open warfare. It forced the world to realize their appeasement strategy was not working, and the world was forced to REACT.

But China has been for 70+ years (far longer than the Nazis) getting away with EVERYTHING because they haven't openly participated in what could be seen as textbook warfare. That is why I don't think they will ever invade Taiwan, as much as some people might think. That is also why I don't think they will even escalate the India situation beyond what is currently happening. They don't want to be seen as the instigators, and they are banking on the fact that the world is also too afraid to make the move first as well.

So they subvert slowly. Just like the communists did with the American Education system. The same exact method. That's how they did it in Hong Kong, they get CCP friendly people in place, slowly, over time, and at first its unnoticed, but once they get enough, they can start making noise and dictating CCP friendly policies, but at that point its too late. They already have seized control.

The CCP absolutely wants to invade Taiwan, there is no mistake there. The thing to note is that they will only do so once they are absolutely certain they cannot be stopped. Until that point, they will continue to subvert, corrupt and destroy our institutions; once they have our governments fully under their control, they'll strike.

That is exactly what I mean. They will never invade Taiwan in the sense of a newspaper headline reads "China Invades Taiwan!". But they want to and will eventually occupy Taiwan once they have enough subversion in place.

Just like Hong Kong. They never technically invaded Hong Kong outright, they subverted them over years, until they simply seized control. And now, with the CCP friendly government/policies/and physical infrastructure in place (bridges, tunnels, roads, etc.), they have effectively invaded them without the actual invasion being seen or happening all at once. They have simply absorbed them. The invasion of Taiwan would be the same.

You know what? Those people should have realized 30 years ago the Piper was going to be coming back to collect. Yet not even an attempt to instill a 2nd Amendment, or self defense rights.

And now they got fucked and are crying for help. Hmmm.

Yeah many haven't taken it seriously as of late, but to be fair, MANY Hong Kongers fled in 1996-2001 in the run up, during, and after the hand over. They saw the writing on the wall. It's a big reason why so many Chinese immigrants are in Canada. The people who deserve the most blame in my opinion is actually the United Kingdom. Because they could have very easily just granted Hong Kong their freedom, or said no. It's not like the atrocities committed against Chinese dissidents was from an old government, or even an older generation, it literally happened less than 8 years prior. The UK handing over Hong Kong to China is like a parent handing over their child to a serial killer like Ted Bundy AFTER he committed all of his crimes and KNOWING he did it all.

It's not like Taiwan doesn't see what they are doing.
