“We are done as a superpower.”

We have the tools; but, as a nation, we no longer have the will. Democrats are the most feckless creatures this country has ever spawned, and they brought us to this.

“The U.S. had an Article 5 commitment to Taiwan from 1954 to 1979. The Biden administration isn’t considering returning to that commitment, as indicated by public statements by Kurt Campbell.”

No one should ever forget Carter's backstab of Taiwan when he pulled the US out of the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty and removed recognition of Taiwan is a sovereign state.

Remember how Gov Lepetomane signed all those bills without looking at them?Biden signed Exec Orders like that. But he kept the withdrawal from Afghanistan for some reason. Maybe to have an excuse to import more new voters. Obviously to try to blame Trump.

Walk back is CHINESE for PAID OFF LIAR, abandoning US Policy for decades. But then what JoeBama says has no power in it whatsoever.

Austrailia, Japan, ANZACS and other nations including Phillipines the US is TREATY obligated to defend Taiwan. Don’t forget Space Force (Semper Supra) which can and will screw up any command/control of “attack”. All warfare is deception.

They can try. Lot’s of surprises in a very short timeframe, about which we know nothing.

They are in a better position to survive it, than our weak Western world is.

The Chinese aren't hunting down and killing viable sources of energy, unlike the Watermelons in the West.

If Biden said he would defend Taiwan, what sane person would believe him?

But when the "WH" issues a correction saying we won't?

Joe Chamberlin, a bad man in a bad place making very bad decisions!

Not all of Chamberlain's decisions were bad, as a matter of fact. He was trying to buy time to build up Britain's military. For instance Britain had the Spitfire for the Battle of Britain because of Chamberlain.

“How much is Hunter getting from the Chinese?”

Hunter is only the middle man in their payoffs to Joe.

How does it make the world safer to make China doubt that the US will defend Taiwan?

” Will South Korea and Japan step up if we don’t. “

Japan ( where I be ) has said it would but I have serious doubts they would . My ( Japanese ) wife and I were talking about this the other day . She feels Suga saying Japan would fight for Taiwan is all talk and no action . We shall see ...

Not all of Chamberlain's decisions were bad ...

I recognize that BUT his "Peace in our time" pledge kind of destroys much luster for him, just by the egregiousness of the claim in trusting Herr Hitler.

And, previously, his supportive position to PM Stanley Baldwin in the 1936 Rhineland Crisis. The blatant violation of the Versailles 1918 Treaty that they AND France acquiesced to in the re-occupation thereof by Hitler/Germany. In hindsight, this by most measures was the crisis that could have stopped Hitler.

In the consideration of all factors though, he knew he was was dying of bowel cancer, apparently through his final year or longer. This service while under such pain and debilitation does reflect honor upon him.
