>>20356744O_O I mean Putin literally claimed Ukraine trying to join NATO was one of the reasons he invaded. Ukraine was trying to stop being a Buffer. Having your nation condemned as a buffer state for all time sucks. I don't believe Putin but its obvious NATO expansion was part of the problem.
and claiming Taiwan is worthless is just dumb. Even if you believed that, China could only ever achieve parody with the West while Taiwan exists. They'd still stall for 40 years.
