Chien-Chi Chang’s latest war thriller is out.

但這還不僅是關乎烏克蘭。中國也正密切觀望。如果川普斡旋出一個必須讓步的協議,會如何牽動北京對台灣的盤算?中國會把它當成可乘之機,還是說,川普的難以捉摸會形成嚇阻力量?
我環顧四周,新聞記者會裡凡事一板一眼、控制有節、字斟句酌。但戰爭並無這般的節制。戰爭緊迫、殘酷而且赤裸裸。
Brush up on your Taiwanese, buy multiple copies and sell them to your friends.
Ouch! Twenty percent of Kyiv is in ruins!

Ein Besuch beim Proktologen in München.
Many words about Z and his predicament.

Let me repeat what we concluded yesterday:
With Donald’s help, Z has once again made a situation that he made worse even more unpredictable, which is why the finale of this bloody tragedy continues to recede into the distance as it approaches on the horizon1.
Face the facts: Most Americans do not care about Europe, Ukraine or Z.
Tulsi is now in charge or organizing Donald’s daily intel briefs, Pete is the US Secretary of Defense and John is running the CIA. It won’t be long before Team USA starts leaking unflattering classified details about Z and his potent managers. Kash won’t track down the leakers, because he will be the one authorizing them.
NATO, for all intents and purposes, is defunct. European leaders no longer trust any security guarantees involving Donald. Neither do decision makers in Taiwan.
Z should announce yesterday the formation of a government of national unity and promise (again) that he will not seek public office in the future.
Commit this skizzieren to memory:
Once upon a time there was a rooster and a cat who lived in the forest. The fox wanted to eat the rooster for dinner. This tale follows similar plot, but instead of the rooster and cat, we have two narcissists, Donald and Z.
One day, the two seek refuge in the woods to escape the dreariness of modern existence. Globablism and civilization catch up with them when Vova – a sociopath – tries to eat Z for purely ideological reasons. Vova, you see, had spent his whole life fighting woke culture, which, for some unknown reason, he blamed pederasts for.
The sketch has a happy ending, though. Instead of eating Z, Vova bonds with Donald. And, in so doing, good conquers woke culture, etc.
