Some food for thought about China and Taiwan, US Military preparations.

Not exactly...

Official Says U.S. Committed to Taiwan's Defense

The 2022 National Defense Strategy identifies China as the Defense Department’s pacing challenge, the assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific security affairs said.

Sure looks like it to me. The US can recognize Taiwan as Chinese- which it is- and still commit to providing it with weapons.
That is simply interference in Chinese affairs. The US is always keen to pass domestic laws interfering with other countries. It honors some- and ignores others when it suits the US.

I venture that this thread is a summons to arms in order to do exactly that.

Yanqui- go home.

Claiming that we do it to support democracy...the same thing we say about Ukraine, which has never been anything resembling a Democracy...is in fact the opposite.

America is the worlds premier terrorist nation....we dont give a fig about democracy....not even in America which is now fascist and under the control of a revolution.

Here is a video about some preparations the U.S. Military is making to be prepared in the Asian Theater:

These are real, not political theorized preparations that is costing large funding.

These steps would not be being taken, if the threats were not real.

We have significantly drawn down our munitions stocks, particularly in the area of intermediate range surface to surface missiles, by sending our current stock pile to Ukraine. The official pentagon estimate is that some of these stocks will take 5 to 7 years to replenish.

Rebuilding U.S. Inventories: Six Critical Systems

Are U.S. weapons inventories getting too low because of transfers to Ukraine? Although most inventories are acceptable, some key munitions will take many years to replace. Often, there are workarounds, but there may be a crisis brewing over artillery ammunition.

We are not currently prepared to fight even one war, much less two at once (Russia and China)

Additionally, our primary creditors are hostile foreign nations, mostly China. They can simply stop advancing the U.S. credit, and we won't have the funds to rebuild our stocks of critical missiles.

And again, We spent the money on Illegals.

time for tariffs, focus on defense (not offense), domestic production, citizens first, long term thinking, sound currency and free speech.

Israel isn't a democracy either- but it's a useful aircraft carrier/ weapons store to interfere with other people's countries.

Yes.

Americans are way too shit quality for that......and it is too late....the collapse is now.

That was true maybe 30 years ago....now Israel only weakens America.

sounds like you can't get off opium, ching Chong.

please get off the crack and opium.

 

[Hawkeye10]

Sounds like someplace in that brain of yours you know that I am right, and so I get to watch your ego run.

 

[Hawkeye10]

please get off the crack and opium.

Please attempt to deal with subjects.....your fixation on speakers...and your general hostility....indicates that you have nothing to offer.

 

[Phyllis Diller]

you're wrong.

you're just defeated in your mind.

defeat is not rationality.

your offerings are only negative and not wise.

this is why your blow massive chunks.

It does provide jobs for technically skilled people who are back ground investigated to be ONLY American Citizens. Not Illegals.

It does allow the US Military to prevent Invasions of the USA, if we decide to actually use it for such things... so could the border patrol, but both, while still funded to exist, have been told to instead aid and abet the invasion of the USA.

We also have international treaties which we are obligated to defend places like Germany, should they be invaded by say, Russia.

If Russia were to invade Germany, what are our soldiers supposed to Shoot? Spit Wads?

Its allot like the FEMA funds having been expended on Illegals, so nothing is left, when a Tropical storm floods American Citizens towns.

But, as I well know, US manufacturers can't get the people they need to make anything higher tech because of a shortage--severe shortage--of skilled and semi-skilled tradespeople. Taiwan Semi-conductor (TMSC) here in Phoenix is begging for people that have the minimum levels of education necessary to enter a very generous apprenticeship program to train in a trade and be employed by them at a generous wage.

They can't get the people they need. They're hardly the only company either.

Yes, and the same thing is true at the national labs.

They have lots of diversity hires, but just like the rest of the world's population, of ALL races and genders, only 1 person in 10 has the aptitude and actually learned something technical in college.

The shortage is driven by allot of hires being for DEI, rather than having the spark for technology. Well, Straight-White-Males are among those groups of people who have the spark in slightly higher than the mean rate. But we are no longer being hired, because the government contract states outright that No, Zero, Zilch, Straight-White-Males can be hired. We are 32% of the population of 330M, so even at 1 in 10, we are a workforce of 10.5 Million, who cannot be hired.

Biden’s infrastructure bill is chock-full of anti-white racism

Americans are enthusiastic about spending money on physical infrastructure — bridges, roads, broadband. But this racist bill hands out jobs and contracts and locates projects based on race, not mer…

When justifying the inclusion of Women in military, the reasoning is often stated that you cannot throw away 50% of your workforce, and have a
strong military.

Well, we cannot throw away 30% of our technical spark people, and have high tech manufacturing. China doesn't throw away a third of its spark people...
