This was hands down my favorite bit from the article:
Some even maintain that every dollar spent on Ukraine is a waste of taxpayer money that could be better used on domestic priorities, such as combating the spread of fentanyl.
These arguments are misguided and dangerous.
How dare they suggest that money would be better spent addressing domestic problems than on a proxy war half way across the world. That’s misguided and dangerous thinking.
I also love how the article takes it for granted that US must prop up puppet regimes in Asia as if that’s somehow in the interest of the people living in US.
DPP are ‘social democrats’ of taiwan, but they’re insanely hawkish and war-mongering. Even the Kuomintang doesn’t have the same rabid anti-chinese sentiment as the DPP. In fact the KMT has even called for closer collaboration for the mainland government, so these guys have now fallen out of favour from the western imperialists, and the DPP is also edging closer to fascist apologia and ultranationalism. In short they’re nothing but a puppet party who’ll only dance to the US’s tunes. At least the KMT have some common sense to them.
