It's not Trump's job to sacrifice American lives defending foreign nations.

 

He is the President of the US, not Taiwan. The US are not the world's policemen.

You really need to lay down in a dark room Eraser Jonny.

Your sycophantic Trump posts are all over the place.

Trump has insulted the democratically elected leader of a country which has been invaded by his (Trumps) controller Putin,

threatened to send troops into Panama, had heated discussion with Denmark because he wants Greenland yet you pathetically say that he (orange moron) is not the leader of the “world’s policemen”!

No wonder Trump says “I love the poorly educated “.

"They also criticized Mr. Trump for linking the tariffs to the fentanyl crisis, accusing him of using the issue as political leverage".  

 

Much as I dislike Trump, I agree with that move. Fentanyl and meth are real scourges.

 

Possibly the only move of his I agree with.

Most people agree that they are scourges. The question is what to do about them?

China hasn't fought a war in a long time, so how prepared it is for a physical war with the US is hard to calculate.

An economic war is easier - sell China's investments in treasury notes and watch the run.

BTW aren't drug takers at all to blame for fentanyl and other abused drugs.

Like you?

When have you countered a person's reasoned argument without posting  an insult, an arsine comment or both?

Translation: Flames are all I have. Can't argue against your facts. I wouldn't know how Socialist dual command down to platoon level affects the strategic and tactical efforts of armed forces.

Go and have a look at how many wars China fought against India between 1914 and 2020? Plus a few others!

.

Also look at the size and modernization of the Chinese armed forces.

I suggest that you do not write them off too easily.

You call that a response to "a person's reasoned argument without posting  an insult"?

I thought, obviously erroneously that you could have made a better response than that.

No point in continuing at your lowly level.

Goodbye.

And again and again as usual.

The world moves on. In WWII China was an ally because the tiny little nation of Japan had kicked their asses. Now they've pissedoff Japan, S. Korea, The Philippines, not to mention the $3B in arms President Trump just sent Taiwan.

Now, if only the EU would quit funding Russia through the backdoor while huffing and puffing on the front porch.

I wouldn't mind if the UK and the US just took over control of Europe. You lot don't seem to know how to run it. You've had 80+ yrs to do what you promised at the creation of NATO. All this banter about keeping promises rings incredibly hollow coming from Europeans who have yet to keep their promise to America and Americans.

We wouldn't be where we are now if the US had said, we'll sell you weapons but leave us out of your problems back in 1940.

Actually, China has less than a trillion dollars in treasury securities.

And who decides who is the friend and who is the foe?

 

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Corbyn considered Hamas his friends.

As an individual, I decide. As a citizen of a nation, it is very apparent my decision is in opposition to Trump and his ilk (yes, and so has little, if any affect).
