I been thinking back to Aug 2022 when Pelosi visited Taiwan.
I remember many global south ppl but especially the Russians calling China pussies. I remember one particular Russian guy saying that Japan would never stand for an insult and would immediately invade the country.
Looking back, I bet those guys don't feel so smart now huh? There's a reason Japan lost you know. Unless it's absolutely required, you should never enter a state of war or at least defer it as much as possible. Once you are bogged down in a state of war, you are less flexible in what you can do. Because of Ukraine, Russia who had no issues handling it's influence around the world now finds itself more isolated.
Now let's look at Taiwan right now? Has anything significantly changed so far in Taiwan? Mr Lai is supposed to be a hardcore independence supporter but if I'm his handler, I would be getting rather impatient with his lack of tangible results. I don't see him for example significantly arming Taiwan so it's ready especially now China can openly fire shells over it without anyone caring. I do see he seems to care more about holding power, worshipping Yoon over his failed martial law and trying hard to jail his political rivals. Imagine China entered a war back then just because people on the internet were calling it a pussy.
