Who was saying China starts up with Taiwan as soon as Russia enters Ukraine?
We spent 20 years in lands oozing with precious resources, and have zero new territory to show for it. Now we’re weakened to the point of enlisting women into the Infantry.
You can bet that if the old Soviet Union didn’t have all this satellite states and there boarders were we they currently are, Reagan would have been the first one protecting the Ukraine
Last year, the Formosa Taishin Dreamers, a Taiwanese professional basketball club in the East Asia Super League’s P.League+, had to release one of their imports (K. J. McDaniels), because his wife is serving in the US Navy and they weren’t able to negotiate paternal leave over security issues because exactly they knew China would try to acquire Taiwan by force. (For reference, three of the six clubs have coaches representing FIBA Americas – New Taipei’s Ryan Marchand (California, former Timberwolves developmental coach), Kaoshiung’s DeMarcus Berry (Michigan, although he now resides in Florida), and Formosa Taishin’s Kyle Julius (Thunder Bay, ON, former Furman player) – all three travel back after the P.League+ season ends back to North America, and the National Team for men’s basketball is lead by California’s Charlie Parker, who travels for FIBA Asia games).
Now that issue has come back because of what Xi is doing. Go figure.
Xi and Putin know they have a weak leader who will cowtow to them. Another example of urban arrogance.
Honestly I never agreed with Reagan’s social policies but he was a great CIC and loved this country. My first few months in the service was his last few as President. For the likes of me I will never understand how so many people who supported Reagan projecting power across the globe are now the same people who want to stay behind our borders and say not our problem. That’s a hell of a 180 and they act like that was always how they thought.
