One of my first reactions to the fall of Kabul over the weekend was concern about what this would communicate to our other allies and enemies. It’s hard to look at our abandonment of allies in Afghanistan and not conclude this is bad news for a place like Taiwan which is dependent on the US for its continued freedom. As you’re probably aware, China’s Xi Jinping has recently vowed to reunify Taiwan by any means necessary. “Solving the Taiwan question and realising the complete reunification of the motherland are the unswerving historical tasks of the Chinese Communist Party and the common aspiration of all Chinese people,” Xi said.
They've got a point. We're hardly a reliable ally.
Taiwan needs a healthy and robust nuclear deterrent of its own.

We have lost the Presidency, Congress, the blue states, Europe, GB, Hong Kong, Afghanistan, and Vietnam. China intends to take over the U.S. from within. Maybe it has already. When that takeover is solidified, Taiwan will come soon.

The chicoms are certainly quick on their feet, no? Of course, we will cut and run.

I have no doubt that they are right.

Already we have almost no new semiconductors and cars. Better crank it up over here, if the guys with the money will allow it. Not looking too good, baring another “civil war”. Things can get worse, and probably will. Screwed the pooch with the recently stolen presidential election.

bidet and the dims are busy concentrating on defeating American conservatives. No time for concern about allies and communists. The Joint Chiefs have been tasked with making battle plans to invade American Red cities - not communist Reds

One didn't need the fall of Afghanistan to alert the world that the US is lead by a coward, a moron, a liar and a totally unprincipled cretin. All they need to know was bad man with Orange Hair isn't in charge and a Democrat was elected. Bad things happen when bad people at in charge. I predicted and feel more so than ever that Biden will get us into a war before 2024. Sadly, I missed the date. It looks like he is desperately trying to get us in a shooting war by Christmas.

Frankly I'd be astounded if Xi doesn't move on Taiwan. The world is going to suffer - a lot - as a direct consequence of our stolen election. I do hope there is payback in the afterlife, because those responsible certainly will not be held accountable in this life.

Biden's rout in Afghanistan has made a cross-Straits war much more likely. The ChiComs are calculating what they can get away with, and sowing the seeds of doubt in their intended target.

The U.S, is powerless against CCP. They make all of our stuff.

True that.

Sorry, Taiwan. Get your affairs in order, because the US is not going to help you. If I were the Japanese or South Koreans, I would be pretty nervous right now, too.

If I was a betting man, and I am, I’d say Japan has modularized the nuclear pieces parts and could quickly assemble the weapons without testing. Heck, the Israelis did it.

My prediction is China will swallow up Taiwan before Joe Biden leaves office. They will never get a week or Administration or better opportunity.

If I'm Taiwan, Israel, or South Korea, I'm gonna have contingency plans about what do to when America abandons us. It may not be pretty, but that's the response I'd count on.

Nothing like telegraphing your next play. To bad our head coach is a demented fool and the defense is led by a virtue signaling no talent arse clown looking for his next contractor board seat payoff.
Hey pentagon, the chicoms are telling you what's coming next. Make sure you've weeded out all those white supremacist and dressed the lbgt-mouse remaining troopetts in the appropriate RuPaul designer camo before sending them to Starbucks to discuss the social justice of invading Taiwan.

And there, ladies and gentlemen, is the inevitable consequence of biteme’s actions. No country can depend on the United States of America anymore.

The dominoes have begun to fall, and they won't stop until they're done. Many of us could never quite fathom how Rome fell from such a lofty position of power. Nobody will believe this is how America fell if that's ever taught in schools in future centuries.

Because they see how weak is the US under their puppet Joe Biden.
