In this case, the crisis is of Chinese manufacture. A. The Taiwan issue. B. The ownership of the South China Sea (or the “West Philippine Sea” according to Filipinos).
Either goal will lead to global disruption of trade and a Chinese throttling power over all the states of the area. These will not go down without a fight. This is on its own a recipe for world War.
I agree. I often read comments from people who think the US shouldn’t be spending a dime outside of our borders. But US policy is oriented towards stopping any global wars and this means keeping expansionist powers like China and Russia from gaining hegemon that enables them to isolate and threaten the US. By and large I think the smaller world powers, the Vietnams and Taiwans, prefer a distant and mostly absent hegemon like the US over a close-up and personal bully like China. It has been a good policy and has kept global order and trade working and has been responsible for the largest expansion of the human genome in the history of the world. Fewer people by percentage are poor and starving today than at any other time. Of course, the Ukraine war will affect that and possibly, just because of that one conflict millions may die from starvation. This is what the US was trying to stop. Amazing the failure to stop it comes under a Democrat...they are in all the biggest wars.
Rabid dogs don’t care who they bite, neo-Nazi supporter and sympathizer, they just bite.
The matter of Taiwan is a matter between China and Taiwan.
As par, the US has NO business whatsoever being involved or turning Taiwan into a Ukraine 2.0.
I am in agreement with the humor of this British TV presenter who solves all the world’s problems in one moment....
