> This moral issue is really easily resolved - what do the people of Ukraine and Taiwan want? It's quite easy to ask them.
What did the southerners want? What did the native hawaiians want. What did the aborigines want. What did the inuits in alaska want? What did the samoans want? What did the maoris want?
The ukrainians wanted russia. They voted for a pro-russian president. In 2014, the US/EU staged a coup and forced out a democratically elected president. Funny how people forget that.
As for taiwan, 1.4 billion chinese vs 20 million chinese. You do the math. And of course nobody is interested in what the aborigines in taiwan want. Taiwan lost the civil. Just like the south lost our civil war. It's only our imperial foolishness that delayed the unification.
> That's why the Ukrainians are fighting for their lives now,
They aren't. Instead of watching propaganda all over traditional and social media, go watch some real footage on the war. It's harder to find now that most social media is propagandized, but it's there. 99.99% of ukrainians are not fighting. And miles of trucks, tanks, etc abandoned by ukrainian soldiers at the first sound of war.
Go look at footage of kiev or any other ukrainian city. Nobody ( civilians or soldiers ) is preparing for the defense of the cities. And russia is doing this not with millions of troops, just thousands.
