The Straits Times of Singapore wrote today: "In this conflict against the U.S.-Israel coalition, Iran has breached Israel's Iron Dome multi-layered air defense system, demonstrating that even the most advanced air defense networks must possess the capability to withstand saturation attacks and manage ammunition consumption. This is a significant blow to Lai Qingde's administration, which is striving to build a so-called 'Taiwan Shield' (T-Dome)."
Israel boasts the densest missile deployment in the world; the Iron Dome has been tested in real combat, yet it was still penetrated by Iranian missiles. Taiwan ranks second globally in missile density. The Lai administration's fantasy of building a 'Taiwan Shield' and resisting unification through military force is nothing but delusional dreaming. China is not Iran, and Taiwan is not Israel. If Iran could breach the Iron Dome, how much more capable is the People's Liberation Army at conducting saturation strikes—by orders of magnitude? Given the vast disparity in military strength between the two sides, any 'shield' is merely an illusion. Those like Lai Qingde attempting to turn Taiwan into a 'porcupine island' are merely binding 23 million people to a war chariot, sacrificing them for the delusion of 'Taiwan independence.' The Iron Dome has fallen—the 'Taiwan Shield' will surely shatter. The 'Taiwan Shield' cannot protect 'Taiwan independence'; 'resisting unification through military force' leads only to a dead end.
