I get it, Biden is old and that’s a problem, but why doesn’t anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein’s Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can’t remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

      Reckless American foreign policy is arming Taiwan to the teeth right now for this purpose. Nobody rational wants a war with a nuclear power but Americans are sick in the head and desperate to hold on to pax Americana and will use nuclear terror to do it.

        There is no way that arming Taiwan results in Taiwan starting a war of aggression against China.

        What arming Taiwan does is make it an increasingly bad idea for China to invade Taiwan. It’s a deterrent to make sure the nuclear power who constantly threatens Taiwan (read: China) doesn’t think they can just go and take what they want without consequence, and probably commit a little genocide on the side.

        You know, like Ukraine.

          Great so you can turn them into Ukraine, Iraq and Afghanistan. Your empire has a fantastic track record with this, they must be so blessed for your help.

        Defending Taiwan against communist China has been US foreign policy since Harry Truman was in office.

          So The Americans had really bad policy for 80 years what does that change? Weapons shipments have ramped up and you are indebting that island to your financial and military support. They’re choosing guns over butter to pay for this, transferring their wealth to American stock owning oligarchs. Best case scenario is you push millions of Taiwanese to death for a war that will only enrich the American empire and military offensive manufacturers and it turns into Ukraine or Iraq. Only with Taiwan destroyed does the plans for building chip fabs in America make sense though so that seems like a benefit not a problem for the military companies. The American empire is reckless and evil, they did the same thing to my homeland of Iran with the arming to the teeth and indebting. They funded a king led military dictatorship so vicious and so financially onerous the people chose Islamic fundamentalism to escape it.
