China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) has launched major military drills encircling the island of Taiwan, a step Beijing has made clear is a response to the US recently approving more than $11 billion in arms sales for Taipei. According to CGTN, Chen Binhua, a Chinese government spokesman, said the drills…
The entire premise of China “invading” Taiwan is false. Taiwan is Chinese, and the PRC is the legitimate government of China, not the ROC. As such, the PRC is just waiting for the seperatist government to stand down, despite the US empire wanting a hot war. This is a hot war the US establishment desperately wants, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell they’d trade that for a tower.
You aren’t understanding what I am saying. Of course, the United States wouldn’t want that, but that’s the point. Trump doesn’t care about the security of Taiwan, America, or anywhere else. He’s far to ignorant to understand the geopolitical nuances of any of that stuff. All he would know is that China is paying him a shitload of money, or favors, or whatever, to look the other way. That’s Standard Operating Procedure for him.
It’s not like it’s new for him. The Saudis wanted to murder Kashoggi, and negotiated through Kushner, who assured the Saudis that there would be no issues from the US with it, and their $10 billion dollar arms deal would go through without a problem. Trump would rape and murder his own mother if he was paid enough.
If China paid him, and they took Taiwan, and he chose to not respond, that would be the end of it. He’s Commmander-In-Chief, nobody else can mobilize the military but him.
It would probably lead to an impeachment, but once again, the Senate wouldn’t convict. MAGA let him off the hook for trying to overthrow our own government, they aren’t going to care any more about China.
I’m trying to tell you that Trump does not have the ability to act unilaterally. The US forces would sooner perform a coup than let that happen. The US isn’t simply Trump’s whims, but is merely run by his faction of the capitalists right now, and that faction has interests particular to them and universal to the capitalists in the US, none of which would let Taiwan reunify even peacefully.
You are talking about the old USA, under any other president. If he tells Hegseth to stand down, Hegseth will stand down. If he tells Hegseth to shoot into crowds of unarmed American protesters, Hegseth will do it. Hegseth will never fight back, certainly not in defense of Taiwan.
I don’t know who you think is going to defy Trump, but it certainly isn’t going to be any MAGAs, and even the Dems probably won’t do anything but cry.
I can’t deny that America has a very dark history, but you also can’t deny that our current situation is more dire than at any time since the Civil War. He is not just “one more president,” he literally poses the biggest national security threat of any president in modern times.
I don’t share your same fear. Hopefully the US Empire will die soon, but either way, Trump is not some dark horse phenomenon, but a reflection of the deterioration of the US Empire and the need for the imperialists to inflict austerity to cover their losses from that.

Trump is just another president, just more honest about the cruelty. The US Empire has always been evil.
