China might think that US’s stalemate in the Iran war and Trump’s ambivalence towards Taiwan … as a ‘good time’ to invade them and reclaim *their* sovereignty
Not familiar with Piker. Then again, he’s an “influencer”. I ignore all of them. When I was being raised we called people like him “bigmouths”. We ignored them then, too.
Taiwan will be China shortly. Trump will not stand between Taiwan and Xi. Any weapons delivered to Taiwan, unless destroyed, will become Chinese. So Taiwan will not receive our cutting edge weapons thereby facilitating merging with China. Holding up the sale may be one good things Trump is doing since we all (including Xi) know Trump may offer to sell weapons, but will not provide other support to Taiwan.
The thirst for power like greed becomes insatiable like a malignant cancer Since the 1980's during the Reagan years of dominance the Nazi Republicans decided it was their time to flip the script of Democratic dominance but they knew because of unpopular policies eg reducing the social safety net, lowering taxes for the wealthy and corporations, reducing/elimination of federal control over the states, that the only solution was to rig the electoral system in their favor, at that time gerrymandering
But over at the DOJ a fella named Roberts had another idea Seeing what the VRA had done to the Nazi's ability to control the power dynamic he and his Federalist Society buddies decided that the judicial solution would be to declare that racism was over and the VRA had to go
Now fast forward to today and one can see the result of the rise to power by the fascist Republicans Not only was it labeled legitimate to illegally rig the 2016 and 2024 elections(abundant circumstantial evidence supporting such statements) for the betterment of American society but it was necessary with a malignant narcissist candidate like Cheeto to head a fascist takeover of the government What may have been "cute judicial manipulation" by GW gradually grew over the decades to frank obsession and thirst for power and need to retain it
And voila!! The trifecta achieved!! Now with the governmental levers of power in hand it's time to make hay The antidemocratic Roberts Court as it will go do in the history books is merely a symptom as often the case in these situations of a greater sickness in an organization like the Nazi....and I don't use that word lightly.....party aka CNPP(Christian Nationalist Pedo Party) What WE the People are witnessing is an organizational thirst/lust for power and survival like a cancer that has gone out of control and metastasized and WE the People must stop it
Chang Kai-shek's army may have been an alliance of Bandido chiefs under a socialist flag, but Taiwan, like other Asian countries, including China, has progressed. The thing that bothers me is what happened to Hong Kong. CCP does not seem to be any better at keeping its word than the USA. I kind of wonder what the value is of not selling chips made in Taiwan to China, when China could simply take Taiwan and have it all? Its leaders depend on trade and the international economy, so what prevents that is what we are seeing happening on a smaller scale with the USA's incursion into Iran. The slow conversion to a world without global hegemony and mare liberum is probably underway, as we roll back the clock in answer to hard-scrabble Portugal's bringing mercantilism and the Christian cannon to the far East. Once again, art is long and time is short.

To your point:
The difference between Republican supporters and all others?
Republican supporters have simple and clear requests: dominate, punish, harm, control. That’s it.
Dem/Ind supporters: the want list is lengthy and changes frequently. Insufficient cohesion.
Hopefully the latter can at least to suck up to authoritarians like Putin and Xi. Hasan Piker is misogynist scum.

I only brought him up because the article mentioned him.

Repeal the filibuster and expand SCOTUS
Agree completely with the Ribbentrop pact parallel. I half-expected a non-aggression pact to come out of Trump's visit to China. Maybe it did.
