@TimMaddog Also, I'm not sure the military operational level is what has held China back so far. Political and economical factors might be the bigger constraints.

@madeindex Planning party? They just finished a full-blown military exercise to block Taiwan: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/china-army-taiwan-drills-us-japan-9.7028988

While you're right about #Trump making invasions "acceptable," #China πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ has been testing its ability (i.e., "planning") to take #Taiwan πŸ‡³πŸ‡« for decades, and it hasn't come close to succeeding, so I'm not so sure if #Venezuela πŸ‡»πŸ‡ͺ changes anything in that regard. πŸ€”

@TimMaddog Yes, certainly! I agree that it doesn't make a purely military difference, however, it sets a bad precedent for quick military actions because it didn't attract enough scrutiny πŸ˜”

Nothing has ever "held #China πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ back" but their own inability. #Russia πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί made weak-ass excuses to invade #Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ three years ago, but #Taiwan πŸ‡³πŸ‡« remains untouched.

"Sets a bad precedent" is absolutely right. πŸ‘πŸ½
