@musicheaven1679 Issue is that once you start this reasoning, the US can play this game too, and much better than the EU can. And suffice it to say, you'd be destroying a LOT of relationships this way leaving the EU isolated and fragmented. Why have the question at all?

@angeluscorpius An absurd statement considering how so many EU members are at the cusp or have fallen to similar ideologies while having their own interventions in foreign lands. By your logic, the EU should be tearing itself apart in your own calculus.

@BigmanDogs You are an anti-america simp, which is just as problematic. America did conquer Japan, but it is a free country now and can kick out US troops whenever like literally every other ally that did it. They don't because they know that ape together strong while there is a country next door with an axe to grind and an imperialist mindset.

@johansmifthelry9307 1) US was already doing well against the British before French intervention, it was not wholly occupied like France was in WW2 -so the better comparison would be how the US aided France during WW1 before and after. WW2 was something France never did for the US; break another empire's complete control over their land 2) Yes, France doesn't owe anything to the US, but it does look bizarre how Macron threw Taiwan under the bus

@Bjornfot You are a hypocrite since you would be demanding support and be furious if another country invaded you and threatens to steal land. You only get peace by smashing the aggressors.

@haroldteo7994 A democracy is a specific form of governing that allows for voting to choose representatives or shift policy. If there is no such system in place, then it isn't a democracy. Taiwan is a democracy. China is not. Meddling in other countries can be done regardless of government structure.

@kleijnee Officially. Many countries recognize it as autonomous unofficially anyway. US just flat out says "we recognize that China believes that Taiwan is a part of One China" rather than itself acknowledging that.
