ok so here we go.

so what do we do? that decision needs to be made right now (if it hasn't already) by our leadership as to what they will do if China invades Taiwan.

is Taiwan important enough strategically to warrant a response from us? what do you think?

I believe they are, at least enough to put ships patrolling nearby and supply Taiwan as a first response to any aggression. After that we would have to see.

Same issue with Ukraine. Are we willing to risk ww3 and nuclear war over this? While it may not be in the overall US interest to ww3 over Taiwan, its certainly in the worlds interest to defend liberty and the UN charter whenever it is attacked. What we should do is whatever the world wants to do. And we should fix our economic dependence on companies in sensative areas.

Well, Hunter's friends wouldn't allow the Democrats to vote to oppose China, true, but then again there was a Democrat president who waged a completely illegal war in the North Atlantic against Germany for well over a year.


Fascism is a form of socialism. Not learning history is a worse look.

Conspiracy threads are in another area.

China, the other terrorist regime.

Interfering with US flagged vessels engaged in peaceful commerce would be a valid cause for military action, and even with the infestation of the US military with male admirals pretending to be female, the US Navy is still the world's premiere military force China has a few hundred miles of ocean to cross and if the senile fool unlawfully placed at the top of the command chain were to give the order (he wouldn't because he's in the pay of the ChiComms) the Chinese wouldn't be able to get troops to the independent nation to invade.

Those other socialists, the ones in Germany, had a similar problem when facing a mere 30 miles or so of English Channel defended by a determined population.

I’m not sure what’s more laughable: your claim that the far right lunatics who slaughtered every socialist they could catch and literally launched a “crusade” to destroy communism, to the delight of the right across Europe and the US, were “socialist”, your apparent opinion that warship give a shit about what gender those commanding them are, or the fantasy that Trump losing an election was “unlawful”.

....you do realize protecting American merchant shipping from German U-Boats was entirely legal, right?

If China invades Taiwan...we are ****ed.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

ok so here we go.

so what do we do?

What do we do about what?
I dont care about Taiwan. Its governed by China. Thats their business, not mine.
I vote "nothing", and thats what I personally will be doing. Nothing. Not my business.

is Taiwan important enough strategically to warrant a response from us? what do you think?

No.

 

[vegas giants]

Taiwan is china

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

yes, Taiwan is responsible for 1/3 of the worlds important microprocessors. its a strategic asset in geopolitics.

Probably should go ahead and start moving away from that imo.
Its not good to rely on one place for all that, especially part of China less than 100 miles from China.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

If China invades Taiwan...we are ****ed.

I won't even notice.

 

[Sled Dog]

Thanks for the response. I'll file future responses in the appropriate round file.

You got an answer, a correct answer, but you didn't like it. Boohoohoo...?

 

[Sled Dog]

The US wouldn't declare war though, more likely just place more (useless) sanctions.

Probably not even that, considering how much money was funneled to the Big Guy via Hunter Hoover Biden.

What funniest of all is your ignorance. The Weimar Republic had three major political parties at war with one another in the streets. Socialists, who were socialists, the National Socialists, who were, as the name openly states, socialists, and the Communists, who are Marxist socialists.

Saying fascism isn't socialism is as intelligent as saying ice cream only comes in one flavor.

 

[Sled Dog]

Hmmm....there was a war declaration I missed that authorized FDR to attack German warships? FDR could just unilaterally command the Navy to attack a nation's vessels without Congressional authorization? The War Powers Act was passed in the 1970's, not the 1930's.

How would you have done it?

A high school level history and politics class would probably do you some good. Or: maybe not.
Nazis were "socialists"...BWAHAHAHHAA, that one ALWAYS kills!

Taiwan is china

The people of Taiwan disagree.

The people of Taiwan disagree.

So did the confederacy. Lol

German warships chose to attack American merchant vessels totally unprovoked.....and the US had every right to protect itself. The US was not obligated to sit idly by while a hostile foreign power attacked against it.

Ah, so by that “logic” North Korea is a democracy....right? Oh wait

Oh look, you forgot to mention the German right, of which the Nazis were only one of the many, many paramilitary groups which waged street battles against their enemies.

Saying the ideology which actively tried to slaughter every “leftist” they could catch was “socialist” is laughably ignorant.

well that i agree with, but right now yeah you are going to feel it if they are attacked (if you need computers for anything that is) and you are also going to feel it as it helps china get even farther along the economic domination of us scale than they already are. At some point we are going to have to make a decision to either put on our big person pants or speak Chinese and bow to our CCP masters because that is the game they are playing.

You see that part in my post that said FDR was supposed to have Congress declare war?

That Constitution thingy covers most of the important bits on "How To Govern A Nation".

Or....you could try to learn something about the topic and see that the most of the political ideals of Nations SOCIALISM were...socialist. The Internet can help you expand your knowledge.

Or your could try reading the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, that covers the basics.

But if you want remain ignorant, that's understandable. Everyone that votes Democrat seeks that.

I was studying WWII before high school. The NSDAP was a socialist party selling socialist scams to the common citizen just like that Bernie sells socialism to his fools. Weak people always fall for the allure of something for nothing and nothing is their fault, especially not why they aren't rich.

Taiwan produces Kavalan Whisky and MUST be protected at all costs.

They also produce a bunch of semiconductors that would be difficult to replace and would cripple the world economy but the whisky is important too!
