They are in a bad spot and know it, so they'll take any help they can get. They know Israel has impressive military capabilities and hope they can depend on them to help defend when China invades in about 1.5 years.

Hope Taiwan is prepared to lose all support in exchange for cooperating with a genocidal entity.

Also bombing women and children is not 'impressive military capabilities'.

You have no idea the intelligence capabilities that Israel possesses. They are using everything for genocide and it's terrible, but that doesn't mean they don't have those capabilities.

They have a very large and influential lobby. Their 'intelligence capabilities' are not that impressive. Look at their war with Iran, an actual army. The only reason they managed to kill Iranian generals during their war was because they attacked them while the generals had American guarantees that Israel wouldn't attack.

Israel knows how to lie and drag down their 'allies' with them.

I understand you think you know stuff from what you see in the news, but just trust me, they have extensive intelligence capabilities. You can look into it more if you'd like. You're just... wrong on this one.

Like getting completely owned by a bunch of paragliders from within their own concentration camp...

Israel is a massively overplayed joke. The only thing that holds weight is their lobbying powers in the US.

Liberals have been telling me that China is eighteen months away from invading Taiwan for about twenty years now

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ok don't listen to liberals then (which I'm not). Listen to China and Taiwan themselves, which is what they're saying.

Liberals immediately jumping to insults when challenged on their bullshit

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I shared all the information and evidence, and you immediately jumped to "nO tHeY aReN't LiBeRaL", so you just wanna be miserable in your little echo chamber, so you do you I guess.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

No you didn't, you didn't share any evidence.
