    Russia's war in Ukraine is raising concerns in Taiwan that
    China could carry out a similar invasion of the island. Many
    ordinary people are signing up for self-defense courses to
    ensure they are prepared.

    . . .

    By "self defense" they mean "military-style training",
    rather like a lot of Ukrainians rather abruptly took
    an interest in. Field maneuvers, ambush tactics, how
    to take out tanks ... that kind of stuff.

    Nothing like having your ass close to the fire to understand that you
    could get burned,

    Kudos to the Taiwanese, stand your ground, there are to many bullies who
    think they can do as they please and get away with it unscathed.

    And many in Taiwan, just like in Ukraine, WILL get burned.
    BUT ... it's hard to conquer a whole, very angry, population -
    especially if they've had some training.

    We are very concerned about them - especially now that they
    have Joe's "support" .........

    I see Joe's been selling the Chinese OUR emergency oil reserves.
    Besides Hunter and Big Guy getting some kickbacks the only reason
    I can see for this is to leave the USA *drained* and unable to
    cope with an invasion of Taiwan (or continue to help in Ukraine).
    In context, this smells like genuine treason, tangible assistance
    to enemy powers.
