Kind of a weird perspective imo. You’re against Israel, not because they are murdering countless people, but because they make you look bad? Your priorities are confusing.
USA has something like 800 army bases located outside the USA. No other country has even 1 I believe. South Korea is another country that is essentially a US proxy state.
They aren’t caught between anything. Taiwan is very much aligned with western imperial countries. It’s basically an island that all the wealthy capitalists ran away to after China imposed economic democracy. They love America and America loves them.
Now that it’s happened to a white European, it will be taken more seriously.
