    It’s not just ideological bullshit. Taiwan is a load bearing geographical and geopolitical location central to The Burger Reich’s ability to project force in and to control Asia.

      Well let me clarify my usage of bullshit. That’s all bullshit as in “The USA has no right and should hold no belief that it has the right to project force anywhere beyond its internationally recognized borders. Especially not halfway across the globe.” That belief is definitely an ideology among the US ruling elite.

      The reference to right wingers still being mad over communists winning in China was mostly meant to be mocking and a little jab/reminder that the guy the west picked to win lost.

      I didn’t intend to imply the entire reason the US/west is obsessed with Taiwan is solely due to the communists winning. There are very real underlying reasons for keeping things how they are as you outlined. It’s just fun to remind the hogs that they lost in a dismissive way.
