A Political Thread pt. 2

Are you going to hold a committee meeting? Publish a strongly worded letter to Xi? Post a solidarity picture on social media?
Forums' soldiers of invisible front will create an extra thread for American-Chinese war and will post there 24/7 without rest!
 
No, the objective is very clear. All the hand-wringing and drama around this is perplexing to me, considering the proportionality of harm is greater on us than the rest of the world in the short term.

It's simple: Trump has bet his entire legacy on reshaping the American economy and reducing our dependence on China. China cannot be our main adversary, yet we continue to rely heavily on them for critical goods. The current obsession with Taiwan is largely on American radars due to its chip production. Biden rightly helped us lessen our dependence, but that must accelerate.

Trump will either succeed or fail, and that is how history will remember him. As an American, I hope it works. If he fails, my family will likely suffer. If he fails, it will be American lives that die protecting Taiwan, not yours.

Again, criticize the plan, criticize the man, criticize us for voting for him; all that is kosher with me. But unlike your leaders who continue to buy a record amount of Russian gas, we are at least TRYING to change the geopolitical landscape.

So, no, owning the Euro libs is not winning. Breaking our multi-decade dependence on China and other countries' cheap imported junk is winning.
well if your administration hadn't and continues to be arseholes to your allies then perhaps you wouldn't be the only ones using your lives to protect Taiwan a country you are currently whacking wacking tariffs on.

How are you going to "stand with you" regarding Taiwan? You don't have a functional military. Your austerity policies and horrible governance have left you powerless. Plus, Keir wants to place your dwindling number of troops in Ukraine.

The same austerity your current administration is imposing on you

We could follow the American route, bend over a call Putin 'Daddy'.

Numbers wise the UK military can't compete, individual unit levels, unit vs unit. America get's it's arse handed to it on a plate by most British teeth arms.

Hey as far as I'm concerned Taiwan started it and don't hold any of the cards

So going to war with China over trade or other means declaring war on the whole world.

Let's be honest, strumpet declared economic war of the entire world the other day and all you can say is China!!
 
If you get in a shooting match over Taiwan the likelihood is the UK will stand with you. Because it's the right thing to do. When in all reality we should say "Go f#ck yourselves".

Let's be honest any intervention you make in Taiwan will involve a bill. America no longer does things for the greater good. Sure they'll make up for any loses.

Not sure the UK gets much Russian gas. Don't forget the US does about 3.5billion dollars in trade still with Russia
Do you really think trump will defend Taiwan? If so we have many bridges to sell.

It is functional enough you wanted it in Afghanistan and Iraq. We managed to mount a war 8000 miles from home with minimal help from anyone.

You on the other hand can't fight a war anywhere without substantial help.
