Reading those replies on that Twitter thread, I was shocked! I am usually not on Twitter.
They set up a straw-man in that thread.
Then they rejoice like a bunch of retards to celebrate whatever they are celebrating.
It is like an alternative reality.
Let's put it this way.
There is the Taiwan Strait, and a new status quo has emerged, that is still evolving.
Then, we have the US Navy and Twitter, who are confident of upholding the previous status quo.
So we get to a situation where alternative realities sit side by side.
The new status quo, co-exists, with the old status quo.
In the end, I think this is all sophistry.
Sure, the current status quo the Chinese are implementing, can co-exist with the old status quo, that by sailing through the straits the US maintains that is being upheld. It is far more simpler to say that one side has obsolete views and strategies.
Using obsolete views and strategies, leads to no where, and one's aims will not be fulfilled by obsolete methodology and means.
Why the joy?!
Why not.
Whatever!
