China's economic slowdown makes Taiwan crisis more likely: report

Provoke how?

What about Russias multiple attacks?

When did Russia ever say they want to join NATO?

Good one. The argument is still bullshit that disregards the agency of independent states to freely associate with whomever they choose.

Instead of this"provoking" I assume NATO should have simply attacked instead? You know, like Russia did over and over again?

“You made me do this” isn’t just for abusive husbands I guess

_Russia invades Ukraine_

Tankies: How could NATO do this?

Ukraine enters the conversation

If China doesn’t invade Taiwan there will be no war to be had

Keep beating that war drum US "think tank".
