Really interesting analysis! Got a couple of chuckles but China doesn’t think or analyze like we do so you may have nailed this one! Great article!

«Turns out conquering populations who prefer not to be conquered is surprisingly complicated.»

Really? You just figured that out? What about Gallipoli? What about Dien Bien Phu?

OK, there's Normandy and the Marines Island hopping at about the same time, but I don't see the modern US having the kind of commitments the Allies had in Europe or the US in Asia these days

If we can even call them allies at this point. Trump pushed everyone away.

Crazy...wrote this thought down earlier today, then just now read your way more lucid and seriously thought out perspective.

(About trump reviewing arms to Taiwan)

Surely they (xi and china) already have considered this, but if I were xi, I would let all sorts of US armaments flow into Taiwan. Then wait. And wait more.

When Taiwan fully realizes they can seriously not trust the US…deal time with china. And just like that xi has American weapons technology. Too fucking easy.

Trump is abandoning the seat of American leadership, trading Taiwan for political favors (read; foreign influence), just like he did Hong Kong, while he prepares the Fed to destroy the Dollar and The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (TOBBBA) is set to kick-in next year with Economy collapse destruction of the People's Government *after the Election* in November.

He’s terrified of prison and a traitorous trader upon the American People of this Republic and the Free World, who must be stopped, else the blood with cover our hands and collectively shared futures, that are otherwise unlimited.

Though the Council that manages Xi Jinping is part of the same may be part of the same ethnic group, and if so, it should be OK. We're all Independently Sovereign republicans and Free (Self) Governing democrats, but Trump is a moron. I’m more worried about Korea and the PCBs leaking from the North into the Ocean killing our Ocas, which could very well collapse the food chain on Land AND in the Waters.

We, the People possess the the Original and Supreme, Legal Right to do it Peacefully. Join us as we men Gather with the "Other Half" of our Republic's Power: Women!
