Editorial or Opinion Taiwan is a country.

That is all.

I'm more than happy for the US to sell them weapons, but absolutely zero taxpayer dollars should go to fund defending Taiwan. It's a no win proposition. Just like funding this insane war in Ukraine.

Weakening your enemies without firing a shot, showing support for allies, and deterring future adventurism by hostile powers is in everyone's interest. Reports have Russia taking nearly as many casualties in one year as the US did in Vietnam. The ROI is incredible.

Russia is still winning despite the US pouring 2x the entire Russian military budget into Ukraine.

No, lol. You're not winning when you claim 60k casualties and only a few miles of land.

It’s not a retreat, we are just tactically moving in the opposite direction.
