I long for the days when we called it Free China as distinguished from Red China.

“Nixon and Bush picked the wrong China to cozy up to.”

Any reason you didn’t include Bubba?

Speaking of masks, one thing that happened in our area is some totally dumbass church folks bought up all the canister filters and masks and sent them to China for their people to use. Just dumb, stupid, ignorant narrow minded clod hoppers.

Now our own people, including the kin of those that did it, cannot find them for our own use.

Keep in mind, I am Christian, but when totally dumber and AOC types do “the Christian thing”, it really ticks me off. Just think how wonderful it is, you retards, to self sacrifice your own so that those that caused it can live.

"We need goggles too. The virus can enter through our eyeballs."

I'm glad I purchased a couple of gas masks a few years back. The filters are Israeli and perhaps not fully effective but the masks cover the eyes which is of some benefit. Even has a drinking straw port with straw, lol

Thank you Taiwan. Hopefully this reminds our government who our real friends in Asia are.

If we don’t recognize Tawan officially in the nearest future we are immoral.

Agree. Besides, China already fired their first shot with this virus. The whole world needs to smack them around a bit.

In 1973 the U.S. Navy had the USS Prairie AD 15 docked in Taiwan for about 3 months. What stuck out most for me was that at midnight the major streets all had sand bag machine gun positions manned to defend against a possible mainland China invasion or mainland China sympathizers from attempting to over throw the government.

The story was if you were in the Taiwan military and you fell asleep while on guard duty they did not wake you up; you were shot on the spot. Taiwan would be a very difficult island to invade. Unless China wants to bomb Taiwan back to stone-age they are going to pay a heavy, heavy price.
