U.S. moves to de-risk from China with a new investment ban suggest that Western allies may be learning from national security failings in Russia, according to analysts.
If we’re really learning from mistakes in Ukraine then Taiwan should be recognised as an independent country and admitted into a formal alliance. Not admitting Ukraine into NATO was the mistake we made there and it’s being repeated in Taiwan.
Hey, I 100% support Ukraine and financial aid for them, but I feel like this conflict runs the risk of distorting history. Ukraine has a very corrupt recent past and admitting them before they clean up their own house might well have just been a different kind of mistake. Hopefully we can be formal allies some day.
I don’t have an agenda here other than being kind to people who made decisions without the benefit of the hindsight we use to second guess them.
Sure I agree when it comes to admitting them to the EU. NATO is only a military defence alliance though. If they’d been in NATO this war would never have happened.
Yep just straight up spell it with no mucking about. Put Taiwan, Japan, NZ, Australia, SK etc into NATO or its own equivalent and let the stakes be known. If you want WWIII, invade Taiwan. Or move on.

I’m doubtful that it would trigger a major conflict. More likely China would express public outrage but not do anything about it. But it has to be done swiftly so they don’t have time to react before it’s in force.

This article is assuming mistakes were made with Russia instead of things going exactly as planned.
