Here’s how we protect Taiwan without going to war with China: open a branch of the @NRA in Taiwan, put an AR-15 in the hands of every family, and train them how to use it. That’ll give Xi Jinping a taste of American exceptionalism.

Is this guy for real? Or does he just spew BS that he thinks the Republican base wants to hear based on some focus group studies?

We have the One China policy. The right answer here is that if Taiwan elects to form stronger bonds with China, then we let them. China is already on a path to doing this. They are only posturing because of idiots like Pelosi. Instead of putting rifles in Taiwan, we need to start making chips here in the US.

He is correct and you are stupid.
To his greater point arm the populas and an invasion is far less likely.

Jimmy Carter BS.
In terms of "One China," the mainland is the breakaway nation, not Taiwan. Carter was/is an idiot.

What's wrong with arming the Taiwan citizens with rifles to defend themselves?
That's why Hitler didn't invade Switzerland. That is why we dropped the bombs on Japan because the armed citizenry of Japan would've fought vigorously and killed many thousands of our troops if we had to invade.
Yes he is for real.
I guess you're ok with Biden leaving Afghanistan full of our military vehicles and weapons for the Taliban. That was such a stellar move.

Seems like there was a president, not that long ago, that was pushing for more manufacturing to come back to the IS from China. Not just chips but all manufacturing.

He tweeted mean shite though so he had to be destroyed.

If the Taiwanese Americans Ive met are reflective of those who still live in Taiwan I believe they would be fanatical in defending that island if properly armed and supported.

They want absolutely nothing to do with the CCP and many would rather die than live as a targeted group under their control.

If you wonder why look at what they’ve done to the Uyghurs. They are literally chopping up their children for organs, when those are the stakes I’d say they would fight to the death.

I’m 100% in support of opening chip factories onshore, but I’d just as soon arm the Taiwanese as the Ukrainians.

Sounds like the Biden Administration's plan for the Ukraine sans the NRA.

China isn’t going to invade, they will slowly suffocate them by buying off the Politicians and rigging elections; same as they did here…Can’t invade and destroy the infrastructure in the process, that semiconductor technology is the prize in the eyes of China, despite the historical rhetoric that’s been put out there

I can imagine just plopping an AR in an unsuspecting, never-seen-a-gun Taiwanese dad's hands and giving him a 15-minute rundown on how to use it.

That's not scaring the Chinese government lol. That's just free guns for after the invasion is complete.

Just saying... an NRA in Taiwan would not help prevent an invasion. The only thing that it would cause is a lot of dead Taiwanese. It would be Ukraine 2.0. Just giving arms and funds and forbidding Taiwan from negotiating or talking about peace.


It wouldn't happen though, thankfully... I believe our government is so intertwined with China that they wouldn't do shite to stop China from taking Taiwan. So the conflict would probably start and end relatively quickly.

He has no conservative history until a couple of years ago. Plus he got his start with both Soros and WEF. Makes me highly suspicious

That is not the main reason why

Huge oversimplification
