@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.

While you're right about #Trump making invasions "acceptable," #China 🇨🇳 has been testing its ability (i.e., "planning") to take #Taiwan 🇳🇫 for decades, and it hasn't come close to succeeding, so I'm not so sure if #Venezuela 🇻🇪 changes anything in that regard. 🤔

@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 😔

Nothing has ever "held #China 🇨🇳 back" but their own inability. #Russia 🇷🇺 made weak-ass excuses to invade #Ukraine 🇺🇦 three years ago, but #Taiwan 🇳🇫 remains untouched.

"Sets a bad precedent" is absolutely right. 👏🏽
