The only invasion I’m seeing is US Navy vessels encircling the island and threatening their economy.

Saying this on the same day that Chinese warships encircled Taiwan.

Did you read them? They seem less problematic than the ten commandments to me.

Overall adds up to 99%.

That happens when rounding.

If they would be written in a poster on a wall it would matter. At least to anyone who actually sees them.

To be clear, I would support a democratic successor to the confederation that respects human rights and comes to terms with its past, and is threatened by an authoritarian Union that does not respect human rights. However, I don't think this analogy is helpful at all.

I wish more countries would support Taiwan as the US does. I would particularly like to see my country take a stronger stance on this issue. Unlike China, Taiwan is a free and democratic state today. Taiwan has been a de facto independent state since 1949.

Taiwan never had been under PRCs control. The Union and Confederacy aren't comparable to PRC and ROC.

But, if in your analogy the civil war ended decades ago and the successor of the Confederacy would be under the threat of invasion by the Union, of course it could be justified to arm the successor of the Confederacy and to defend them in case of war.

On the other hand, in the analogy, nations could ignore one of the sides in case of slavery, aggressive foreign policies, general human rights abuses, global strategy and economics or whatever.

defending Chinese imperialism

My background is anti-imperialism

Wow, you can't make that up.

This seems like a more direct threat to me.

Mehr-zweck-fett (multi purpose fat) could be separated as Mehrz-weck-fett which sounds like Merz-weg-fett (fat to remove Merz).

I am sure that China would invade Taiwan if it had the chance. China is the one country that uses its power to isolate Taiwan internationally wherever possible, claiming that Taiwan belongs inside its borders. Therefore, the USA guaranteeing Taiwan's independence is helping Taiwan. I'm not saying that the U.S. is acting altruistically, and I definitely don't think Trump is acting altruistically or morally, but the result in Taiwan has been the right one. Though, I am not convinced that Trump wouldn't sell Taiwan to China at some point.

I also don't know why you put "freedom" in quotation marks. Taiwan has a functioning democracy with a free press, the right to demonstrate,... It's at least on par with Europe freedomwise. If China were to invade Taiwan, that would be lost.
