What a dumb comparison. There is no hot conflict in Taiwan at the moment.

Reply to comment by innovatao in TIL eels swim from a lake in Australia through stormwater drains and across the ocean to lay eggs in New Caledonia where they die. Their eggs hatch and make the return journey back to the lake they came from. by Aussiewhiskeydiver
To my knowledge eels do not home in on the same specific body of fresh water. They are pretty much like the inverse salmon. Eels home in on one spesific area of the sea and then the offspring goes to some freshwater body that they can get to, disregarding where their parents came from. Salmon on the other hand go to the sea and chill around anywhere where there is food and then return to fresh water to the spesific area where they were born.
E: a word

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"?
