Hmmm, Trump angry at Taiwan and wants the business back, even though he knows that’s impossible.
Who does that give a green light to?
Hegseth tells the world American military might can’t stare down the Russian Navy as Ukraine is told it has to cede plans for peace, and Putin pays no price. Meanwhile, Trump gets pissy with Taiwan.
In the space of 3 weeks…
- Trump has told the Palestinians (and Arab neighbors) that he is going to OWN (his word) the Gaza Strip and turn it into a RIVIERA (his word, again),
- His new SecDef has told Ukraine that their history began post-2014, snd
- Trump has decided he’s now mad at Taiwan, a highly sensitive island nation off the coast of China, which One China says they own and will one day invade to ensure the world knows it.
Meanwhile, Trump says he wants to meet Putin and Xi in Saudi Arabia to talk about peace breaking out, everyone making trillions by ratcheting down military spending and mothballing nukes, and saying the U.S. wants to cut defence spending by 50% (or $500Bn per year, which just happens to be the size of his proposed millionaires & billionaires & Corporatist Tax Cuts!).
Coincidence?
