One final thought, if you're looking at Ukraine and you're saying "yeah, I feel bad for them, but I'm more worried about China", well... I do agree with you that the idea of China attacking Taiwan is horrific and real thing to be concerned about given the rhetoric China uses around Taiwan

However, all I have to say is that how we handle Ukraine will likely strongly factor in to China's thinking around anything to do with Taiwan

The parallels are blatant, and there's no way they aren't watching

I argue to you that the stronger our support for Ukraine is, the more painful this ends up being for russia so long as they refuse to withdraw; that the stronger the deterrence to China to engage in something that's really similar to what russia's doing in Ukraine

I argue to you that one of the best ways to deal with China and support Taiwan, is for us to support Ukraine

A Ukrainian victory supports a more stable world

#not to mention the Ukrainian military is as of now one of the most experience armies in the world when it comes to truly modern warfare #if there's anyone it would be good to have on our side for any conflicts; it would be the people who know how to use things like drones #which are concretely a very important part of the modern battlefield #but I really do sincerely have hopes that a Ukrainian victory would have a chilling effect on any counties with similar ambitions to russia #if we can present a world where aggression is at minimum met with total isolation as the world pumps supplies in...#well... I think that makes it a very bad idea to try and invade your neighbor #and it would be nice to get to a point where people stop trying to invade their neighbors #anyway... I just know this is a concern of people when it comes to Ukraine; I just think it's not looking at the big picture with it #how Ukraine goes tells major powers what happens when you invade neighbors #...I don't know... seeing that missile hit that park just really made me in a mood #a mood where... what else can I do but try to drum up support for Ukraine?#as in; what else am I capable of? as in... I've got to do something... is there a single other thing I could actually pull off?#can I even pull this off? I don't know; but I've got to try #I just want to stop hearing every day that more and more civilians have been killed
