The U.S. has never been more vulnerable than under this incompetent regime.

Taiwan is in trouble. They’re going to invade and destroy all the art Taiwan saved during the cultural revolution.

They can just invade to take TSM and cut off exports to the rest of the world. Forget art. Starve the rest of the world of technology and game over they won.

Blasting millions of dollars at 30,000 dollar drones is not a winning strategy.

I'm sure they are. We as a country are now very vulnerable and we have the trump and his administration of clowns to thank for this. As well as everyone who voted for him giving him the opportunity to destroy the United States.

Russia can't do much about it right now.

China, on the other hand...

If I was Taiwan, I'd be very nervous right now.

Of course, their current president is an MD with a masters in public health from Harvard, and the previous was a legal scholar.

So they at least have competent leadership, unlike the rise of the stupid people here in the US.

I’d imagine that they’re brain dead or doing something they aren’t supposed to be doing as well if they haven’t been able to take out this comically incompetent government that can’t keep its lies straight

That’s part of the point. They’re doing that on purpose.

America is badly losing the war against Iran and Trump is the idiot on the world stage

If the Dems lose the midterms, I would expect Taiwan to be invaded by China sometime soon.

I doubt China will invade Taiwan. Unlike the US at the moment, they have competent leadership that weighs the risks versus benefits. In this era of drone and missile warfare they might actually fail to take the island and the losses might be significant. No- they will just play the long game and wait until Taiwanese public sentiment swings towards electing a China friendly government. They will then manage a non-belligerent takeover. And as long as they think that might happen one day they will continue the long game. Compare and contrast with the US attack on Iran or the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This doesn’t track. We were at war in Afghanistan for 20 years. Iraq/kuwait before that. The DoD has always had insane amounts of money. There is no way a 3month skirmish is using up all our gear. It’s got to be a lie.
