Wow, not too subtle. But then China doesn’t need to be, they’re in the driver’s seat right now. Joe is still in the gas station’s men’s room, trying to figure out the stall lock.

Have to hand it to the CCP. They are good at propaganda. Even elements of truth in this one. That’s the best kind.

There’s a HUGE difference between the disciplined, industious, capable, civilized people of Taiwan and the Paleolithic, savage, bottom dwellers in Trashcanistan.

Well, who do you think ordered the US out of Afghanistan?

Now we know why.

IMHO, Taiwan is also a less to the USA about expecting locals to fight for their own “freedom.”

Still for a country like China to say that to another? evil. Cant leave a tiny piece of land alone. All we need to know.

What a lot of people don’t know is Afghanistan shares a border with China (a tiny portion of the border). Don’t be surprised if China, which has no love for Muslims, takes over at least the strip of Afghanistan that reaches out and connects to China.

China has been challenging Joe’s manhood since he took office and so far all he does is tuck tail and put a lid on everything.

So you might as well let us come and hoist the red flag. No muss, no fuss.

Sadly they have a point. Esp. since a lot of the general stuff is now run by Biden political trolls with no knowledge of actual warfare or military history. And of course then there is Biden himself.

Good point. Taiwan can handle itself. Sadly not sure they can count on the US with its current “leadership.”

Well they aren’t wrong. Many times we exhibit all the qualities of a dog except loyalty. Although to be fair as many times as we have screwed people over you would think they’d learn. If I were an Afghani working for the US I’d have been out of there three weeks ago.
