China launched its most extensive war games around Taiwan on Monday to showcase Beijing’s ability to cut off the island from outside support in a conflict, testing Taipei’s resolve to defend itself and its arsenal of U.S.-made weapons.
The Eastern Theatre Command said it had deployed troops, warships, fighter jets and artillery for its “Justice Mission 2025” exercises to encircle the democratically governed island, conduct live fire and simulated strikes on land and sea targets, and drills to blockade Taiwan’s main ports.
The live-firing exercises will continue on Tuesday across a record seven zones designated by China’s Maritime Safety Administration, making the drills the largest to date by total coverage and in areas closer to Taiwan than previous exercises. The military had initially said artillery firing would be confined to five zones.
Name one event in China in the last 30 years that remotely compares to 9/11.
9/11 is linked to Afghanistan and Al-Qaeda though? And very likely to Saudi Arabia. What’s the Iraqi involvement in 9/11?
Regardless: China also has a history of ISIS-linked terrorist attacks that have killed almost a thousand nationals over the past few decades.
If you don’t understand how Iraq never would’ve happened without 9/11 then I don’t think you’re in a position to call anyone uninformed.
Again, you’re justifying the invasion of Iraq.
No, I literally described 9/11 as creating the insane political environment that would allow for stupid decisions like that to fly. Let me know when you stop being an obtuse ml clown.
Whoopsie, what a stupid decision 9/11, just a misshap and a slip that violently murdered a few hundred thousand innocent Iraqi civilians and millions more through destruction of the state and infrastructure!
