Could the US Realistically Use Taiwan to Fight a Proxy War with China?

Illustration: Liu Rui/GT John V. Walsh (@JohnWal97469920) is an antiwar writer who is well versed on China. Recently, he wrote an article titled “Arming Taiwan is an Insane Provocation.” Insane, yes, but it is also a blazing sign of desperation.

Humanity Forsaken

I have written ad nauseam about experts’ predictions of one form or another of Doomsday later this century, less than three generations away.[efn_note]Brumback, G.B.

We urgently need to spark a mass mobilization antiwar movement in North America. There have been good antiwar demonstrations in recent months, but they have been very limited.
