    Or Taiwanese bots? I could see Chinese bots based in Taiwan or using Taiwanese exit nodes sure. Why would the Taiwanese want to weaken the country partnerships they made that keeps their sovereignty from Chinese control?

      Europe might not want to sacrifice their economy and get another round of austerity to appease American banks.

      Taiwan might not want to be used like cannon fodder in pursuit of America’s goal of weakening China.

      Of course the oligarchs in both those places would be quite happy with those outcomes so their botfarms probably aren’t supporting the message.

          Like Cuba, all Iran did was overthrow the US-imposed dictator, and stop letting America take their resources/labor, and America has never forgiven them.

          Weakening China by having America spend every last drop of your people’s lives, until America feels like its no longer in its interests and doesn’t give you a seat at the peace table isn’t in the interests of the people of Taiwan.

          Status quo of “reunification, sure, eventually, definitly maybe next century🙃” is infinity better for the actual people.

              Youre framing America’s attack dog murdering tens of thousands of mostly children in response to Palestinians trying to escape a concentration camp as a victory for America’s enemies because it made America look bad.

              Maybe take a step back and realize these are actual human beings you’re talking about.

        Na, If Taiwan loses the oligarchs lose hard in that specific country, they have a state sponsored monopoly on silicon China would F things up hard, I’m afraid in this case no conspiracy can even close to be found, that JFK thing though you should look into that again.

          That’s why I said the oligarchs would be happy to fight China to the last drop of the working class’s blood.

          That’s not a conspiracy, you can find unhinged Taiwan-based billionaires crying for more rifle and training so their fellow Taiwanese can be sacrificed to protect their own control.

          About the JFK thing, whether Oswald was a CIA asset acting on Allen Dulles’s orders, or merely was a CIA asset who killed the guy Dulles thought was insufficiently anticommunist and betrayed America by not sending the military in after Bay Of Pigs by coincidence is barely a conspiracy.
