Hypothetically he wins and China invaded." Biden was weak." Supporters swoon. Geopolitical affairs get dumber.
Fat greasey bearded red neck squeals intensify
Good he’s probably not that good of a fighter
Nationalism taking over globalism…
It’s so incredibly short sighted. It’s like your neighbor asking to borrow your hose because his garage is on fire, and saying no because it costs water and doesn’t directly help you. Not only is that going to mean your neighbor is never, ever going to help you with anything, but if that garage fire turns into a raging house fire, your house might go down too.
Russia, China - hell, North Korea - take whatcha want.
No wonder the idiot commies are for him.
They are not really commies. But I’d guess you know that.
Then what are they?
Totalitarian. The specific flavor is Juche. It started as an ostensible offshoot of Marxist-Leninist ideology, and then became whatever the ruling family wanted it to become as time went on. By now, its essentially just a cult of personality/deification ideology around Kim jong un.
North Korea is absolutely not socialist or communist in any meaningful sense.
Auth left, where the state plays the part as the capitalist and it’s citizens are human resources to be managed.
Hasn’t Auth left and Auth right had enough time leading the world? (All of human history)
I honestly don’t know what they are. I doubt they do.
Have you ever tried asking?
The term you’re looking for is Marxist-Leninist. It is by far the largest communist ideology in the world.
Then why would you say “idiot commies”?
They mask at leftist, but if you connect the dots they exclusively pipe up for trump and authoritarian countries like Russia, Iran or China
If everything is shared under communism, that would include political power. That makes communism (IMO) a direct democracy. Does that sounds like those countries to you?
What the fuck does it matter what I think? I never forwarded my opinion on the matter and simy made observations
They claim to be communist in some cases. Socialist is also a sort of blanket term which “means something” which - is somehow different from what others know it as. And “liberal” is an insult, so. They’re very confident they’re “left” of all creation, and any real-world effort to help people through existing national political structures is obviously corrupt and unworthy of examination.
Does that help?
No.
Ok then, thank you drive through.
I think they are a new definition to be honest. Is authoritarian one?
No idea. They’re very unhappy about everything. So - maybe?
Well he is a little bitch that’s afraid of a fight, so…
These headlines/news never reach republicans. We are in two complete different Internets.
I wouldn’t expect Biden to either, if China actually went for it.
There’s only a handful of places who even recognise Taiwan as a country, and Paraguay sure ain’t coming to the rescue of nVidia’s share price if it kicks off.
Trump is an idiot and a coward. He doesn’t give a shit about global security, he doesn’t get that abandoning allies only makes us look weak and unreliable, and he has no principles which could compel him to take a stand. He will decide things based on his own emotions and ego, doing whatever he thinks makes him look good. And his idea of looking good is less about being a leader or statesman and more about pretending to be a tough guy that gets respect by rewarding friends and punishing enemies.
Remember, this is the guy who, when faced with a choice between showing leadership in the face of a pandemic or downplaying the disease so that it wouldn’t be associated with him, went with downplaying the disease. If he can’t be trusted to make the right choice in a conflict between a virus and humanity, why would we ever expect him to make the tough call to defend an ally in a difficult conflict.
Honestly, I think if Trump had been president in 1941, he would have downplayed the significance of Pearl Harbor and would have used it as an excuse to stop aid to our allies. But I’m sure he’d still be all for internment, it’s very much his style.
pretending to be a tough guy that gets respect by rewarding friends and punishing enemies.
Or vice-versa, when it comes to the US’ relationship with the countries themselves (as opposed to his personal fawning sycophancy towards dictators).
Right, it’s not about whether they are America’s friend or foe, it’s only about their relationship with Trump. And unfortunately, Trump seems to be better at relating to dictators.
And it probably doesn’t help that democratically elected leaders from countries that have longstanding relationships with the US tend to expect America to live up to it’s obligations. They aren’t coming in and kissing the ring in exchange for favors, they’re putting the burden on the president to, you know, do his fucking job. “What’s that, Ukraine wants the defense funding that congress allocated for them? Well what will they do for me?”
And unfortunately, Trump seems to be better at relating to dictators.
I know you’re not intentionally mincing words, but I prefer to be as explicit about it as possible: Trump idolizes dictators and wants to be just like them. He is a fanboi of Putin, Xi, et al.
Because the entire world, including the US recognizes Taiwan is part of China

This whole post reads like China Astroturfing the subject on social media.
anticolonialist
Unless the “good colonialist” does it!🤣
Ahhh, you must be using the wrong account. Your username suggests you would be anti-colonialist, even when that conflicts with XI’s one China policy.
Fuck Xi and his propaganda games. And fuck you for supporting colonization.
Removed, civilty.
That is fair.
Only officially. Which sounds like a smart ass response but it’s not.
If US recognized Taiwan as its own country it would lose a major trading partner, affect global stability and trade… and do not much else. We know why warships are there, military bases in close proximity, bilateral exercises take place - but officially sure, you own them.
Obvious Chinese bot is obvious
Most of the world does not want the USA promoting civil wars, coupes and proxy wars between neighboring countries to assure their hegemony.
“Trump’s comments still fall broadly within the ambit of the longstanding U.S. policy of strategic ambiguity regarding any action in the event of a Taiwan contingency.”
Ah yes, the strategic ambiguity that strategist Trump is known to utilize.
Good thing the ambit is so broad as to hold all of his strategies.
I legitimately have no idea what this comment means.
Cool I can’t wait until the price of all of our electronics goes up 400%.
Maybe then all of the “I don’t care, politics doesn’t affect me” idiots will finally wake the fuck up.
Yes America will, he just hasn’t been told how the US economy would collapse without Taiwanese semiconductors yet. Taiwan will not let China take the fabs intact, it’s their insurance forcing the west to help them.
This is exactly what “America should not defend other countries” dumbos don’t understand.
He’s perfectly okay collapsing the economy as long as he and a few rich friends make it out with more in the short term.
Just depends on if Taiwan or China gives him the bigger kickback.
Kickback sound nefarious and non-official. Call it a reward for officials services.
Exactly then it’s all very cool and very legal thanks to the US supreme court. Honestly it’s my official duty to collect unnamed sums of cash for favours, how else can a poor President of the most powerful nation on Earth ever survive?
Chinese check cleared
