   Hint: this subthread has been on China/Taiwan for at least tem articles.   
   You have heavily contributed. And incidentally, I was not the poster who   
   brought up China/Taiwan.   
      
   Context was that if the US asserts itself the right to invade whatever   
   country it decides it doesn't like, then what moral authority does the US   
   still have, to criticize for instance a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.   
      
   But no, it's certainly not that I bneed an evasion. Seems like you did   
   though?
