On the 24th local time, after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced without warning a special “military operation” in the Udong-Donbas region, Russia and Ukraine confronted each other. The brutality of the war also made various countries accuse Putin of this. This is an “invasion”, and economic sanctions and other means have been resorted to. Hong Xiuzhu, the former chairman of the Kuomintang, yesterday called on Taiwanese to face up to the lessons of the conflict, and stressed that “intruders” and “victims” cannot be easily defined, and Putin’s motives for sending troops should be understood. In this regard, Wu Zheng, the proposed candidate for Taipei City Council, criticized Hong for rationalizing the aggressive actions, and even questioned whether Hitler was a “victim” back then?
Hong Xiuzhu pointed out that since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia has been subject to frequent international sanctions, but issues with NATO and Ukraine have not eased. She quoted Putin’s public remarks on the 21st and pointed out that the United States promised the Soviet Union in 1990 that it would not extend NATO’s jurisdiction or military presence to the east by an inch, but Russia has faced five waves of NATO expansion one after another; The proposal to conclude a security treaty was put forward in December 2008 and last year, but both times were shelved by the relevant countries.
Hong Xiuzhu emphasized that between Russia, Ukraine and NATO, it is absolutely not up to us to decide how the roles of “invader” and “victim” should be defined. Sanctions’ vanguard.
Hong said that the United States has yet to send a single soldier, and NATO’s current actions are limited to sanctions and condemnation. She questioned, “Is it a foolproof choice to entrust Taiwan’s future and life to such an “ally”? “.
In this regard, Wu Zheng pointed out that “there is always justice in the world’s right and wrong”, and bluntly said “Ms. Hong Xiuzhu’s position is a unified party”, but “the Russian aggression in Ukraine is actually the victim?”.
Wu Zheng said that throughout the ages, every regime and empire that launched aggression has a plan for the current situation. He cited Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor because of the oil embargo of the United States, and Germany launched Operation Barbarossa because of blockade and sanctions in World War II. Do we have to re-examine whether Hitler was an aggressor or a victim?”.
Wu Zheng said that Russia is the aggressor and the perpetrator, questioning Hong, “Where are the Taiwanese going to take this kind of remarks that have no value, help the aggressor, and intercede for the shooter?”
