Ukraine is not an ally and Ukraine is not a member of NATO.
We need to put much more support in OUR US military before considering any further assistance to Ukraine.
Rand is right on this one.
Same argument can be made with Taiwan. Taiwan is not our ally, we don't even have diplomatic relations with Taiwan as opposed to Ukraine.
China views the war in Ukraine as a "test case" for its own designs on Taiwan, according to Taiwanese Deputy Foreign Minister Roy Chun Lee.
In an exclusive interview with RFE/RL on the sidelines of the GLOBSEC security conference in Slovakia, Lee explained why Taipei wants the West to keep supporting Ukraine's war effort, how Europe's stance on Taiwan is changing, and in what ways China and Russia's close ties could affect the balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region.
"Until a final victory arrives, defending Ukraine against Russia has [direct] implications for Taiwan," Lee said. "In particular, it shows the potential support that we will receive from our democratic allies in the case of a Chinese military invasion."
