    Turns out “sacrifice your entire country, including yourselves, so your American masters can soften up their enemies while they sit back and funnel weapons to you instead of fighting themselves.” is not a very compelling pitch to any but the dumbest and most coked-out of compradors.

    A normal person who isn’t a demon would be /happy/ their son wouldn’t have to go to war? He’s mad because his son /doesn’t/ get to die???

    What’s fucking wrong with those people.

      He’s angry that other people’s sons wouldn’t get to die.

      I think he believes that his son’s life is already at risk, and is offended that the people he is ostensibly “defending” don’t appreciate that risk. The answer is still to stop defending a country that doesn’t want your help, obviously.

    “My son’s life is on the line to defend you guys.”

    emilie-shrug Sounds like a ‘you’ problem.

    Also… taking US MIC goons out to ice cream to break bad news is up there with taking a small child out for a scoop before telling them their dog was “sent to live on a farm”.

    It’s a common joke among the cannon fodder conscripted serving their mandatory service that the winning move is to just surrender and join the winning team when the PLA lands.

    a group of retired Taiwanese naval officers told them to stop preparing for war

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kao_An-kuo

    In 2021, Kao reportedly made a YouTube video in which he called the Taiwanese military to overthrow the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leadership and surrender to China.

    Kao’s group also allegedly used drones to carry out surveillance exercises over military training operations and equipment, sending their results to the Chinese government.

    When I was studying in Taiwan I met at least a few students who were very thin, and they said that they were only eating enough to stay under the minimum weight requirement for conscription. Overall I didn’t meet many people who seemed willing to fight the PLA, despite Kaohsiung also being a more “green” (DPP, separatist) area.

      I think if push came to shove, they’d choose reunification at this point. We know they want the status quo because it’s beneficial to them to have US money but mainland visa privileges. But they don’t want to fight anybody and surely aren’t going to sacrifice themselves for US interests.
