In the last 72 hours, Taiwan has gotten a heavy dose of the reality that Ukraine, Poland, Denmark and others have seen up close and personal. Just because you have been an ally for decades through admins of both parties, the US is not your friend as long as Trump is president.
@RET_423@Glenn_Diesen not much of a state..its a failed state. partly ruled by pro iranian rebelgroup the Houthis. Well equiped with rockets eg from iran
If the US blocks the Strait of Hormuz, then Yemen will likely block the Bab al-Mandab to shut down the Red Sea. The assumption of escalation dominance is Trump's main miscalculation.
@gossipguru4u@sentdefender i doubt that any allies currently send anything as nothing has changed since few days ago. Allies announced to send only after deal oder a truce.
@jaegerthomas2 fuer iran jetzt einfach zu eskalieren. Sei es durch Beschuss von US Schiffen oder durch weitere Blockade in der anderen Meerenge bei jemen durch Beschuss der Huthis. Man kanns drehen und wenden wie man will....kommt nur noch schlechte(re)s bei raus
Applebaum: Trump is listening to Putin. He is getting information about NATO only from his speeches.
He is not looking at American history — which he doesn't know — nor at what's actually happening on the ground.

@SpencerHakimian Good to know that the box with the red button is in a wise mans hand. America was somewhat respected 15 months ago....thats gone. US is becoming a total joke with that idiot on top
