#1 Trump should quiet down.

Taiwan is an island and an invasion by China is a different kind of conflict than the Russian action in Ukraine.

Also, calling Putin a genius is not very helpful. Yes, it is true that Putin can out think Biden but then so can most 3rd graders.

#4 These are the same comments that were shown yesterday to be sarcasm, DM-cherry-picked and context stripped.

#5 OK, then. Putin can whip our asses and subjugate Ukraine because he's a dumbass.

#7 How big a dumbass does that make us?

Not much really.
I doubt there is anything that could have been done(reasonably) to stop Putin from invading Ukraine. The countries share borders and Putin has a well funded modern military. The west could make it hurt more but not prevent the invasion.

#8 When is Brandon gonna sanction importing Russian oil? That's really hurt them in the pocketbook! And the US.

By the way, why are we importing Russian oil?

#12 By the way, why are we importing Russian oil?

Because, as Biden said in 'his' speech, we are controlling fuel cost support for our allies by issuing them our strategic reserves. Giving them the $25/bbl oil and buying the $99/bbl oil from Russia.

#13 Carter nullified the 'Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty' to appease Communist China, so there is no defense pact in place for the US and Taiwan. See 'Goldwater v. Carter'.

Carter's 'Taiwan Relations Act' removed defense from the equation, so the US has no legal standing

#14 Bringing enough troops over to Taiwan to occupy would be a bigger feet than Normandy invasions. China would have to level Tiawan to be successful and three gorges dam is still a highly vulnerable target that Taiwan would hit before they went down.

#15 Taiwan has to nuke up, and quickly.
