    Man it's gonna be awkward when Mongolia has to invade half the world to reunify their territory.
  • @esky5140
    It’s called invasion not reunification

    Ok every since Wagner I think it’s possible to move an army
  • @HUNTER-ts1nz
    China should just move their troops inside Taiwan with white flags .
  • @Jry088
    Don't underestimate Taiwan and its people. Ukraine was far from ready for an invasion yet they still stand. Ukrainians weren't even trained yet they are still fighting. Not to knock on Ukraine, but Taiwan is in a much better situation than Ukraine.
  • @jhonryu3636
    Taiwanese must be living in so much anxiety due to these threats
  • @mdj2024
    Taiwan's hearts like solid rock stand tall, Bravely facing threats, they never fall. In freedom and democracy, their pride, They won't bow down, nor step aside. They seek international independence's grace, Pursuing peace and prosperity's embrace. Taiwan's people, with courage and might, Shine with independence's radiant light.

    Literally Proof! That the guy even said China always wanted Taiwan to be united but didnt have the power to back then. But now they are capable. It has nothing to do with whos in office. Trump, Biden, etc., the chinese will try try to take Taiwan whenever their ready. I like how Trump hanldes things, when saying hes talking to Putin or Xi Xinping, and trump told them not to invade. But they still would do it no matter who is in office. Its just depends on when they want to do it or when they think is there best chance!
  • @laylowstaylow
