It's funny how Americans get mad at capitalists for doing what capitalists do.

Don't worry, they're only blinded by the nationality.

If Bush had done exactly the same (but sold Boeings instead of Airbuses), quite a few people in this thread would sing a radically different tune.

Depends.

Would you seriously fight against China over Taiwan, if China had modern weaponry?

If yes, then indeed, the military alliance has become completely meaningless.
If no, thenthe current French behaviour doesn't change a thing.

Depends.

How well are you going to like the US saying that the nuclear arsenal guarantees Tiawan's independence?

If Bush did the same thing I'd be calling for his impeachment! By the way, I would be willing to personally fight to defend Taiwan even if they have modern weaponry. Its worth noting its not easy for China to sucessfully invade Taiwan even with their military modernization.

I seriously think our glorious diplomacy wouldn't care any bit, if the Chinese continued to buy weapons nonetheless. Actually, this action might even ensure the perpetual status of Taiwan as a "rogue province", which would give our diplomats something to curry Chinese favour with, and I imagine they're all for it.

So, the world going back to the brink of nuclear annihilation would be a good thing?

btw, where else do you think it'll wind up if confrontation becomes the norm, again?

Like it or not, China and France are pulling the tail of the real dragon. That dragon being the US nuclear arsenal.

Are France and China going to ante up and put themselves in the same league? What would Russia think about that?

What of the world?

You are the person who suggested the US would escalate to nuclear threats, which is completely ludicrous.

You'll notice I said "for our diplomats". You may have spotted a tad of hostility from my part toward my government. As long as the tension gives us a way to sell more Airbuses and Rafales, I'm sure they give it a

If confrontation becomes the norm again, you'll have several imperialist powers who'll fight by proxy, but who'd be too afraid to fight directly against each other. Kinda like the cold war, but with more trade, with less ideological polarization, and with a number of imperialists that may exceed two.

Nice world you dream of. It ends in big puddles of radioactive goo in a few scenarios.

Is it worth it?
