Do you know why the U.S. will and should fight a war over Taiwan?

Now that said - if you get a Hitler esque, trying to take over a whole continent, trying to exterminate millions - yes we did the right thing, even at the cost of American lives. But not willing for my kids to die for Taiwan or the Ukraine.

$23M people live in Taiwan. Why should the rest of the world stand by and watch them get slaughtered and lose their freedom. We have seen over history how well appeasement works. What is happening in Hong Kong is bad enough. The world shouldn’t just sit and watch while the Russians and Chinese slaughter innocent countries.

Are you willing to send YOUR child to war? Are you willing to go yourself?

Leftists afterwards: Why can’t I get a new iPhone? Where are the supplies for my remodel? Where is my ADD drug?

Oh so now iPhones, housing and medicating mental health are exclusively liberal? You have a really weird world view.

The lack of knowledge about how much we’ve sold out to China and how hard it would now be to even get the parts/supplies to manufacture our own stuff without China is a liberal thing.

That's a good argument for Taiwan doing everything it can to become a nuclear power as fast as possible. If a country can't rely on allies, then it has to be able to protect itself and there is only one way to do that if your neighbor is China

Are you willing to send your child to die there? Answer the question.

It doesn't work that way.
We have an all-volunteer military. If they are ordered to go, they go.

If your kid was in the military because that was the best opportunity for him/her,
How would you feel about them being ordered to Taiwan? Dying in Taiwan? Or Ukraine? Worth it?

Well, our nephew had to go into Iraq, even though the culprits were in Afghanistan.

So it would be same old, same old, same as when republicans were in power.

Huh. Why would we station people in neighboring countries we are at war with? Why why why why why…

Hmm. No. Not accurate. First, it depends on when you're referring to. The shift to Taiwan was actually a counter-reaction result of the 70's-80's General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the US-Japan semiconductor wars?

Then came the "free willy" approach to mass outsourcing and "sell out" by many U.S. manufacturers, probably around the 2002 amendment to the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) as well as NAFTA; then went out of control from there.

"In both the House and the Senate, more Democrats voted against NAFTA than for it"

So, if you want to point a finger, it's towards corruption and greed on both sides of the aisle, as well as corporate America?

Really? It was Richard Nixon and his administration that opened China up to the US and the global world. It was republicans that opened that floodgate and everyone else walked right through.

Our military is not hitting recruitment targets. Also, very few young people these days qualify for military service because they are too fat, dumb, or criminal.

They’re not hitting their targets bc the military is more worried about making sure soldiers use the correct pronouns than they are about winning wars. True story, folks!

Entirely false just like everything else Fox tells you.
