Summary

Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, during a surprise visit to Taipei, warned Donald Trump against reducing U.S. support for Taiwan, saying it could lead to a Chinese takeover and trigger a nuclear arms race in Asia.

Pence emphasized that abandoning Taiwan would undermine U.S. credibility and push smaller nations to develop nuclear weapons for self-defense.

He urged Trump to maintain military aid, negotiate a trade agreement, and reaffirm commitment to Taiwan.

Pence’s comments reflect growing Republican divisions on U.S. foreign policy amid Trump’s critical stance on Taiwan.

      Basically their whole pitch the entire time. Take away women’s independence and put uppity minorities in their place. Might as well add an arms race

        Except without the living wages, public works infrastructure investments, emphasis on education, and tax rates!

          Plus high taxes on the upper class before Reagan. Literally everything that actually made that a good time (for some, anyway).

          It’s shocking that people seem to be so dumb to think they just need to be allowed to be racist again to get the good stuff back. We’re kind of a stupid species.

      Cool, my kids can learn to duck and cover on the days they’re not doing ALICE drills.
