I could see them giving up Taiwan without a fight at all.And I've been saying for months that Biden and co will do the same to our navy in the south china sea. Look for a massive loss there that will get blamed on America just "not being good enough"...
The last thing our country needs is our own military coup.The only good thing that could come out of this debacle would be it pushes sane military people to remove OBiden and Co.
The last thing our country needs is our own military coup.
It's the only thing this country needs.The last thing our country needs is our own military coup.
Agreed.The last thing our country needs is our own military coup.
I said this in the Fraggle thread, may be worth sharing here...
I think there could be a long term problem for the United States concerning what is happening in Afghanistan. 1) the Taliban is being emboldened right now, and there are many eyes upon them that may be willing to join their cause if they do not have better options. This leads to 2) Taliban fighters and angry Afghans (angry at the US for pulling out and leaving them exposed to the takeover by the Taliban) may begin conducting more terrorist attacks due to them despising the US and the western way of life. Many, if not all of these, will be aimed at US assets abroad and at the US mainland targets. That is troubling, and I would not be surprised if it happens. It seems they now know that the US leadership is not strong enough to stand up to them as it was only a year ago, and I fear the victims in all of this will be US citizens.
This disaster will have huge negative ramifications to the US for decades. We will not be seen as a credible partner anywhere in the world.
China would be stupid to not invade Taiwan right now.
