The transition team has announced that President-elect Donald Trump spoke by phone with the president of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen Friday. Not only is there nothing wrong with this, it could be a sign of good things to come in America’s Taiwan policy.

U.S.-Taiwan relations operate under a number of restrictions derived from the three communiques with China that form the basis of America’s one China policy. Some of them are a necessary part of honoring America’s decision in 1979 to formally recognize the People’s Republic of China. Many are not.

World leaders are noticing there is going to be “a new sheriff” soon. Did you see for the first time a Japanese leader is going to visit Pearl Harbor?

Think about it. The Russians can’t do with one aircraft carrier what we do 24/7 365. Run carrier operations from not just one but seven fleets world wide.

Regardless, the Russians are winning in Syria and the US government is still losing a trillion a year. Who has the the best position in that scenario ?

I do believe we had military bases there in the 70’s. Should we return? Think Reagan and Pershing missiles in 83’.

I think the world is realizing we have had Trillions wasted and lost to corruption through the administration of the Klown and those days are coming to an end. I believe McLame and a few thought that toppling Assad would deprive the Russians of the base in the Med but they got screwed by Hillary trying to help the Sunnis in Qatar and Saudi. Outside of crushing ISIS I don’t see why we care about Assad at this point.
