Taiwan is already a democracy and we don't need to try and get them to implement it like the corrupt and ambivalent Afghani government. They'd fight for themselves if China decided to go full retard.


I don't doubt they'd fight for themselves

the question is how much would Biden do to help them? to allow our military to help them?

I'm thinking little or none.

I'm thinking all in since the reliance on Taiwanese microchips for defense usage is tremendous.

2 words…. Hunter compromat


Yeah, okay. You people operate on the most bizarre levels sometimes. Hunter banging hookers and smoking crack, which has already come out, isn't going to alter our war planning.


Yeah, okay. YOU PEOPLE operate on the most naive levels sometimes. Hunter banging hookers and smoking crack is the limit of his activities? Only Hunter and the Big Guy know what ELSE the Chicoms have. Thats how the strings are pulled. Revealing enough, but not all…..

No surprise that message was directed at Taiwan.

With Joe in office...their days are now numbered.


Unfortunately the message is true. These other places have no issues with 100 years of work to meet their objectives, I think China plans out 100s years and they all know that give it a decade or two and America will leave and they will then win. We win battles, but then lose the war.

I think the CCP hate Opium from the past history of Britain using it to usurp the Emperor and inciting the Boxer Rebellion.

I also find it strange that all the people think opium production would increase under the Taliban, when the Taliban had almost eradicated opium production in the country. It was the take over by the US that brought the poppy fields back to the region.

IF there's anything else and frankly I doubt there's anything else. Additionally Biden obviously doesn't give a crap what a disaster his son is and it didn't even remotely impact public perception.

Taiwan is only the beginning of the potential catastrophe just made more likely by joe.

But yes, Taiwan needs big time reinforcements right now.

Should immediately deploy our entire B2, B52 & F22 fleets within quick response range and gift Taiwan with additional air defense equipment.

At a minimum.

Maybe also start randomly pinging their ships.

Just to let them know we're always there.

What joe just did is agree to divide poland between germany & russia

(This time it's Afghanistan divided between china, russia & iran)

CCP is now more likely to attempt to take Taiwan than ever before.

Thank you democrats.

Happy now?



ETA:

And every available A10.

Even if just as decoy.

Even the carcasses out in the desert.



PLA grunts are absolutely terrified of the thing due to desert storm video smuggled into china and widely distributed among their ranks.

~ takes a bow ~

This is the weapon their grunts fear regarding Taiwan.

They believe it will be warthogs destroying their landing craft and relentlessly pursuing anyone that makes it ashore.




Better yet, announce that the entire fleet is now carrier capable and let ccp photograph one on deck near taiwan.

Regardless of who is in office, I think Taiwan will have US support, especially considering all that technology.

Afghanistan thought the same thing a couple months ago.

People who have viewed some of the laptop contents have said there are also little girls. Do you doubt that? Why? Moral limits? lol. Some folks said they were sickened. Pain was mentioned.

There were emails between family members on the laptop about inappropriate activity with his NEICE, ffs.

And the MONEY. Public perception is that Hunter was given the oil company job and sells his stupid paintings for ACCESS to the Big Guy. Public perception is that Biden is owned by China. I was speaking with a highly placed democrat in CA politics and asked what they thought about Hunter. Money laundering and access he said.

Keep your head buried in the sand, because ‘nah, its not possible’.

Extremely complex fabrication technology that takes years to mature an First World Society VS expendable munitions and a population that seems to welcome their new overlords *shrugs*

Were you able to confirm the child porn? Because all I heard is that someone knows someone who saw it so, frankly I think it's bull.

Most of this more Q LARP'ing and I take that crap for what it's worth, nothing.

Here is why i dont dismiss it as so much BS: I have learned in my long life that where there is that much smoke, there is a raging ugly fire.

Why do you find it so improbable?

Edit: I never had any patience for Qanon. Too weird, so watch what you accuse…

But they've got to be a bit uncomfortable right now.


We're constantly holding fleet operations in the China Sea, I don't see us letting China attack/invade Taiwan.


I think the number is something like 80k Afghani's that we abandoned through either malfeasance or incompetence. Neither bodes well, and are both the perfect launch pad for anti-US propaganda from China.

To the rest of the room: remember all the celebrities and brands that have brow beat you over China over the last 5 years. Remember Lebron and the NBA. Remember Disney. Remember the Clintons. Its all coming home to roost. We look incredibly weak and powerless to a nation led by a government that medically experiments on its own people. While we continue to help fund it.

I personally saw much of what you just described.

Won't say which parts.

Your overall description is a pretty accurate portrayal of what I saw.

Anyone who is able to confirm this quesiton is also admitting to a crime that would get them killed in prison. Its kind of a catch-22. I purposefully ignored the entire story solely because I didn't want to have to potentially see something I did not want to see, for all the reasons you can imagine.

But I think it was pretty well established early on that he likely was with his underage niece, nude, smoking crack. Either that, or with someone who looked like her from behind and in possession of her dog. Again, i did not see the image in question, so maybe its misconstrued. That was about the point I ducked out on the whole story.

Black boxes over the privates & faces on the version I saw.

But looked like children to me.

The photos I saw did not include the actual activities, but can't imagine what else they were doing there.

My Immediate reaction after reading your title...

A lot of blood and cash-sucking "allies" SHOULD be worried.

What Trump started, Biden will finish, if they don't carry more weight, and pay more of their "fair share" of responsibility and/or cost.

The Apple store guy, did as the law required him to do, and turned it over to the FBI.

He was very disturbed by the contents.

He waited. Nothing. He realized the FBI was sitting on it so he came forward.

Is this man telling a whopper, in your opinion?
