You’re only supposed to progress your military when you’re IN conflict?
“You’re only supposed to progress your military when you’re IN conflict?”
Unless you have the firepower to defend yourself, it might be wiser to try to get around a battle rather than incite one by purchasing aircraft in numbers that will not make a dent if China decides to come. And purchasing these aircraft when China is already pushing the issue, is not going to make them happy. So if Taiwan couldn’t defend themselves before, and what they are buying won’t get it done either, they should try a different tack. But try to bluff them out with a useless purchase of not enough power, is not the tack.
