Neutral Is Dangerous
Treating China’s preparation to attack Taiwan as someone else’s problem could be the greatest strategic mistake small nations make.
If China attacks Taiwan, the war will not stop at the Strait. The world will split into two competing power blocs. And at that moment, you will no longer be fully free in your decisions.
Align with China.
Align with the United States and Taiwan.These are difficult choices.
But more dangerous than choosing is failing to prepare.
Because if you do not act proactively, circumstances will decide for you. And when you are forced to choose under pressure, it is rarely the best option. Those who fail to move early often enter negotiations from a weaker position.
Gradually, you no longer make decisions based on your own interests, but in response to external pressure.
Stay alert. The right to self-determination does not disappear in a single shock. It erodes over time until the choices left are no longer truly yours.
