Reply to comment by CynicalBrik in Germany will not arm Taiwan, senior lawmaker says by falconx2809

Better to be proactive than reactive. When it becomes a hot conflict it's already too late. So not a dumb comparison.

Europe did not arm Ukraine before the conflict, nor did it sanction Russia proactively. Sanctioning proactively would not even make any sense, why would the would be aggressor choose peace if there already is full sanctions in place for the thing that it is not yet doing?

The comparison does not really hold. Just plain stupid populism. Should Germany really proactively arm the whole world "just in case"?
