#2 "We do not support Taiwan independence."

A deal was made.

Americans in Taiwan mostly unfazed by US evacuation plan report

A great human slaughter is on the horizon.

#3 I remember when we signaled to Saddam that we didn’t care about Kuwait. This is the kid’s game Red Light, Green Light on a global and stupid scale.

#4 Very little is being said about South Korean and Japanese interest in this whole scenario, which is existential.

#5 How many land acquisitions will this make for Communist China since just the 1970's?

Remember our "Made in China" purchases funded this.

#7 ...It should be pointed out that this has been the official US position since Nixon went to China - by the book, Blinky simply reiterated US policy. The real problem is that Xi ain't the comparatively reasonable guys who ran the PRC then.

#9 So, Nancy's visit last year (with her version of Hunter) was all for naught? Shucks.

Even McCarthy changed his mind in making a trip despite his earlier desires.

#10 #2,#3 My thoughts as well. I'm curious as to Xi's calculations on Dems stealing 2014 election.

#11 Blinken, et al of the current administration are looking more and more like controlled assets of the CCP.

#12 Its almost as if they have insider knowledge of the coming leadership crisis in the US as the Puppet Show winds down and and a cackling nut-job takes the helm? Somewhere an enterprising young 35A Major is tracking Indication and Warnings on a checklist and noticing the parallel increases of both the composite indicators for the Taiwan Invasion and the apparent destabilization of the political leadership in press reporting. Causation or coincidence?

#13 Well we now know what all those payments to the "Big Guy" bought.

#15 Our government and corporate leaders sold us out to the the Chinese Communists. Why would they not sell out the Taiwanese as well?
