  1. Looks they might have to sadly. Gotta hedge your bets just like Zelensky

  2. Someone will tell trump he can’t ignore Taiwan as they need their products..

  3. Sadly none of the long time allies can trust the US anymore. And it’s not just Trump, the whole GOP is compromised.

  4. As someone who’s living in a country bordering Ukraine we already pumped more money than we probably can afford in the military acquisitions but I’m afraid that for Trump isn’t enough as long as we don’t pay him directly and more than Putin does. GOP being owned now by these Trump cultists is a fuck up for the entire “Free World” since putting USA on an autocratic and isolationist path is going to change everything in the world’s ballance now. Trump winning is going to put China as the new world’s superpower and Russia, as China’s court jester, on top of USA which will be just a dog without teeth.

    Fuck this shit but I never thought, neither anyone I know, to live the day when US is digging its own grave.

  6. The American intelligence community has fallen for the Trump foreign policy trap. The man who makes most of his money from China, wants the US to stop influencing the world, and give that advantage to Russia and China. Literally, the objective of Trump in coordination and cooperation with China and Russia is to end US supremacy, and keep whatever is left for himself.

  7. The article seems to be interlnally contradicting itself:

    “(…)The United States is Chinese-claimed Taiwan’s most important international backer and arms supplier, despite the lack of formal diplomatic ties, and Washington is bound by law to provide the means for the island’s defence.(…)

    while :

    “(…) Unlike Japan and South Korea, Taiwan and the United States have no formal defence agreement, a previous treaty being terminated in 1979 when Washington switched diplomatic recognition to Beijing.(…)”

    So if there is NO such treaty in place, there are NO legal obligations to provide means for defence.

  8. China and Russia are very much looking forward to the upcoming Trump Administration. They can pro bf ably demand and get US forces to help them with any invasions they plan.

    Non-voters and protest voters are looking forward to this new alliance as much as conservatives are.
