> In fact, we're seeing something similar with Russia's war in
Ukraine right now. Pundits have predicted that Russians will
turn against the war any day now, but instead Russians support
Putin and his war more than ever. Not only is Russia fighting
the evil West, in their eyes, but they are correcting a
historical injustice by bringing Ukraine back into the Russian
fold. All while Western support for Ukraine is wavering more and
more. No wonder Russia is slowly but surely winning.

What this shows is that Dugin wants China to invade Taiwan.
Which is precisely why China should not invade Taiwan.

years of grinding out a war of attrition and sending men to the

cements China's rise as the leader of a new world order.

Just as China is the winner of the Ukraine war weakening Russia
(except Eurocentrist Xi is too psychologically colonized to
capitalize on it by retaking Manchuria), Russia would be the
winner of a war over Taiwan that will weaken China (and Putin
unlike Xi would capitalize on it for sure).

Homework: who would now have control over China?
At least one commenter sees through it:
--- Quote ---
> The rhetoric from the CCP is very worrisome.
>
> If folks haven't been paying attention the reunification
rhetoric has been steady and escalating, stating that military
intervention is inevitable. It entered a new phase, of drumming
up public acceptance that military action is the only way. Lies
like "most of the Taiwanese people self-identify as Chinese" but
a survey inside the independent nation of Taiwan show the
complete opposite -especially under 40- as low as 3% identifying
as such. Wonder where they got this playbook? -cough, Russia.

And a few others implicitly acknowledge who will gain control:

pipelines.

Taiwan donates NT$5.14 million in humanitarian aid to Israel
Equipment purchased with Taiwan funds is being used for rescue
operations in Beit Shemesh

--- Quote ---
> TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan has donated NT$5.14 million
(US$162,074) for life-saving equipment and emergency operations
in Israel following Iranian ballistic missile strikes, per
Maariv.
>
> At a Zihuy Korbanot Ason (ZAKA) humanitarian volunteer
organization conference on Tuesday attended by thousands of the
group’s volunteers, Abby Lee (李雅萍),
Taiwan’s representative to Israel, emphasized the depth of the
partnership between the two countries.
>
> Lee said that since the Oct. 7 attacks, “Taiwan was among the
first to strongly condemn the terrorist attacks, and provided
humanitarian aid and financial assistance to support kibbutzim,
communities, and local authorities that were affected by the
attacks and the threats that followed them.”
>
> The representative highlighted in particular a dedicated
contribution of NT$5.14 million, which was used to purchase
life-saving operational equipment. “We are particularly proud to
contribute to initiatives led by ZAKA and are pleased to see our
contribution transformed into equipment of real value on the
ground,” she said.
>
> She said that in Beit Shemesh, where nine people were killed
after an Iranian ballistic missile struck the area, ZAKA
volunteers used portable lighting towers purchased with the
donation. The equipment enabled operational work under complex
conditions and during nighttime hours.
>
> “Our contribution is more than financial assistance. It is a
message of hope and solidarity to those affected by the war,"
Lee added, "Taiwan and Israel may be geographically distant but
we are neighbors in our values, small democracies under constant
external threat that continue to thrive and stand by one
another.”

Cheng's statements on other issues can be easily understood
within the above context:
--- Quote ---
> Cheng’s formulation of the 1992 Consensus also reflects a more
structural change. She emphasized that consensus is a “verbal
expression of adherence to One China”—language that hews more
closely to Beijing’s One-China narrative than the KMT’s
long-standing buffer of “One China, respective interpretations,”
a formulation consistently articulated since the early 1990s and
later prominently reinforced during the Ma Ying-jeou
administration.

removes the mechanism through which such ambiguity has
traditionally been sustained, creating a tension between the
claim of interpretive flexibility and the conditions required to
support it.

am Chinese,” captures both her mobilizing strength and
polarizing effect.

So does this leave room for the interpretation that to be
proudly Chinese, you should at the absolute minimum want China
to take back all the territory that Russia has stolen from
China, and additional territory from Russia as compensation? I
think we all know what Cheng's answer would be.

Even worse than I expected:

At this point, I am ready to believe the theory that Xi had
knowledge ahead of time that Trump was going to kidnap Maduro in
Venezuela and could have stopped it with PLA forces present in
Venezuela at the time but chose not to (in effect sacrificing
Venezuela), calculating that giving Trump this success would
embolden Trump to invade Iran (in effect sacrificing Iran) which
would then absorb US resources that would otherwise have gone to
Taiwan.

If I were Iran, I would ask Taiwan to end recognition of Israel.
In exchange, I would tell China that if it invades Taiwan, its
ships will no longer be allowed through Hormuz.
