HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

Yeah, right.

Obambi’s gonna help the Taiwanese against his heroes the ChiComs.

Right.

[skr]

Wow, are they asking the wrong guy.

[Navy Patriot]

Groups petition Obama to help Taiwan

Rots a ruck

[Dallas59]

Uh huh...Yeah...He’s gonna look at em and agree./s

[Outlaw Woman]

Good Luck with that one...

[Domandred]

Good luck with that. Obama is abandoning or insulting all our allies. He could care less if China decides to cross the strait and starts clearing out Taiwan house by house.

[Oceander]

Won't happen. China has the U.S. by the balls right now - they're one of our biggest creditors, and they will use that power to make us dance to whatever tune they call. Obama would literally wee his pants if he thought the Chinese were about to dump all of their treasuries - heck, the treasury Department just had a hard time auctioning off the latest round of monopoly-money debt - can you imagine what would have happened if the Chinese had dumped several tens of billions of dollars of already outstanding treasuries into the market at the same time?

Forget about our supposedly "dangerous" dependence on foreign oil - that's a subterfuge, a distraction, a lie, if you will - the real danger lies in our addiction - like that of a meth-addict - to borrowing foreign money to feed our insatiable need to spend like money was in infinite supply. There will soon come a time - sooner rather than later - when the Chinese do to us what we did to the British right after WWII. They will impose additional conditions on holding our debt that will be just sufficiently onerous that we will never, ever be able to recover our current preeminent economic position again. All it would take would be adding a couple more percentage points to the debt we owe the Chinese - the US imposed a 2% interest requirement on a multi-billion dollar loan it extended to the UK after WWII for rebuilding - the US had traditionally lent to the UK at 0% interest - and that measly 2% points was all it took to tame the UK economically and make sure that they never constituted an economic challenge to the US. That is, more or less, all the Chinese would have to do in order to totally castrate our economy right now.

Thank God for Democrats!

[Vendome]

We have to help Taiwan under the USMJC and armistice with Japan.

[Tainan]

I notice a lack of comment on Taiwan following any course of action to actually help itself.
Nor, do I note much of that sentiment from the Taiwanese side.
