According to a recent report by Intelligence Online, Taiwan’s deputy defense minister secretly visited Israel to seek help in developing the T-Dome.

The outlet says Israel has been providing defense technology and expertise to Taiwan under the guise of civilian programs.

      Crazy how quick libs are to excuse genocide.

      “Yeah my party does genocide but they’re the lesser evil”

      “Yeah Taiwan is looking up to a genocidal state but that’s okay because it’s to stop China”

        The world is complicated, and America is uncomplicated when it comes to Israel (i.e. they’re all in). I don’t think passive complicity is evil in a black and white sense given the state of the world. As an example, look at how Assad in Syria was toppled for opposing Israel and America. In a Democracy it’s even easier to be toppled than that.

        That said the actions of the Taiwanese government here are bad. It’s not like Taiwan’s gonna be a country much longer anyway though given China’s extreme military infrastructure buildup around Taiwan and China’s growing chip industry. I struggle to see any path for Taiwan to avoid annexation at this point.
