Speaking of attacking the dam. You do realize by doing this, despite even how small the possibility can be, most likely ROC will be nuked after that as a result right? And it doesn't even violate the commitment from China to the world that it will not use nuclear weapons first to attack other countries, as Taiwan is not considered as a "country" anyway. Just by giving them the idea like this shows how immoral and incompetent the western "think tank" is.
