For the world, Taiwan is valuable for it's products.
For the CCP, Taiwan is valuable for it's territory.
The thing that's most likely to secure military action on behalf of Taiwan is their manufacturing, something China and many countries are intent on replicating, and gets dangerously close every day.
You think the US and Europe, nevermind the non-western world, would risk war with a nuclear power by taking military action against it?

Having extra fuel and powerful motors doesn’t necessarily mean anything lol. Even if you deem it suspicious, it’s not worth killing people over. I’m curious though, they were able to deem the boats had these features but were unable to confirm if there were drugs on them? I find that suspicious.

You're underestimating Ukraine's role in Soviet nuclear, aerospace, and military engineering.
They're weren't cavemen hitting nuclear warheads with sticks. | For those wondering. Nuclear weapons aren't like bullets you can't just store them away. Every couple of years the weapons grade nuclear material has to be removed from the nuclear weapon and reporcessed. Ukraine has never has a reporcessing facitly and these facilities are stupidly expensive to run and generated literally tons of radioactive waste per warhead. Also the radiation around the warheads eats away through materials around requiring hardware and structual metal around it to be constantly replaced. Even here in the US at given time about 1/5th of our nuclear weapons are at given time offline and in some state of mataintance and or re-arming. And we have a virtually unlimited budget to do that too.

Just to set the standard for a proper discussion: I agree Maduro is a horrible dictator. Also, Trump is a despicable human being who should be removed asap, but was democratically elected.

Russia hasn't used nukes, but their line is that they would be used if Russia faces "an existential threat. You know, like Ukraine faces. The conflict in Kashmir is not comparable.

If we think nuclear weapons are a good deterrent look at India and Pakistan, both have nuclear weapons but the Kashmir conflict which started in 1947 is [ongoing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_India%E2%80%93Pakistan_conflict) with recent missile and drone attacks.

This would be a great take if Ukraine had ever had the capacity to launch the nukes itself. It didn't. | I understand why people might feel it was a mistake for Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons but I'm not sure they are factoring in the bigger picture.
Ukraine was unlikely to kick off a nuclear war in response to Russia's incursion. The international community would have put a lot of pressure on Ukraine to not start WW3 if Putin had invaded Donetsk so I don't know how much of a deterrent nuclear weapons would have been in reality.
If we think nuclear weapons are a good deterrent look at India and Pakistan, both have nuclear weapons but the Kashmir conflict which started in 1947 is [ongoing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_India%E2%80%93Pakistan_conflict) with recent missile and drone attacks.
Israel has nuclear weapons but these have not prevented near [constant attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_attacks_during_the_Iran%E2%80%93Israel_war).
The UK had nuclear weapons when the Argentine Junta decided to take the Falkland Islands.
A massive nuclear arsenal didn't deter the 9/11 attacks on the US.
And of course while Ukraine didn't have nuclear weapons allied nations do but they didn't use them and had no intention of using them.

I remember reading stuff about underground hangars dug deep into the mountains that would be pretty hard to hit.

Ukraine managed to save it's air force from attacks by moving the planes to smaller air bases or even just roads.

I’ll agree that they might need to be there for some extreme reason, but they are there fully accepting of the risks of what is happening.

Things facilitate psychos. 30 years since the last mass shooting in Australia; they had to work pretty hard just to get a shotgun. Last one in the US was yesterday, then 2 days before that. | Cars are the new guns.
And house basement are an excellent place to plan and carry out a murder.
Things don't create psychos..... But a materialistic mindset will start with that.
I agree with you on health care in the united states. Pets in Canada have better options than nearly the entire population of the united states.
Pet insurance is actually used as a model to try and privatise health in Canada to make it more like the united states.
In fact, I bet there is a DIRECT correlation between access to health care and gun/murder rate than access to guns.
Thoughts and prayers for the US government, or even the US people getting half that way through the thought process though.
2026 rolls in in just a few hours.
By the first minute of 2027, the united states will unrecognizable as a first-world country.
