US Senate takes first step to provide billions of dollars in military aid to Taiwan

The United States is moving closer to directly providing billions of dollars in military aid to Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), upping the ante against China which has warned Washington not to do it.

The United States for decades has sold weapons to Taiwan but the new Senate legislation will go further by providing US security assistance of $4.5 billion over four years, a step sure to infuriate Beijing, according to AFP.

The legislation also recommends sanctions on China if it uses force to try to take over the island militarily.

The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday approved the Taiwan Policy Act, the bill designed to make changes to the United States’ declared “one China” policy.

Lawmakers made the provocative move following a visit to Taipei by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in response to which China staged major war games.

You vote for billionaires- you get an enriched arms industry and country-wide poverty. But you still vote for billionaires.

Have you seen the "newsreels" of Putin's Palace? One of the poorest countries in Europe constantly on the verge of famine, and he built himself a $1.4 billion palace.

No, he didn't. It belongs to somebody else.

Have you seen Trump's retreat ?

Almost nothing remains of Herod's Palace(in the picture), only these guess models based on archeology. One day all the modern palaces will join them in ruins. It is just the way of the world.

Putin's Palace is Putin's Palace. trump's "palace" is Mar-A-Lago, a house designed and built by someone else(before trump was born), and then turned into a club with hotel amenities... Basically, you can buy access to his house. It has become a spy hang out, but if you show up dressed like a typical trump supporter, they will kick you right out. he hates his supporters.

If you can't DISPROVE it then I don't have to prove it. So stfu yourself, Big Doggie.


Still- I'm in a generous mood;

The CRP numbers are somewhat rough estimates - lawmakers are required to report their financial information in broad ranges of figures, so it's impossible to pin down their dollars with precision. The CRP uses the mid-point in the ranges to build its estimates.

So- do you think that that's annual earnings or net worth ?

I wonder how much richer they will become if they vote to send more billions of dollars worth of arms to Taiwan.

You're either getting my drift here- or you ain't.
