TAIPEI: The United States has approved a potential US$2 billion arms sale package to Taiwan, the Pentagon said on Friday (Oct 25), including the delivery for the first time to the island of an advanced air defence missile system battle tested in Ukraine...."This proposed sale serves US national, economic, and security interests by supporting the recipient's continuing efforts to modernise its armed forces and to maintain a credible defensive capability," it said in a statement.

It is so easy to extort money from willing suckers. The sale of some radar and air defence detection system is not going to make Taiwan safer should the rebel govt leaders choose to declare independence from the motherland. When China is raining missiles onto the island, there will never be enough defensive missiles to take them down. Israel, claimed to be impregnatable with several layers of defences, the best the Americans can offer, the best the Israelis could do for themselves, is now a myth, torn and tatters when Iran rained missiles on them. The PLA's military might and assets are beyond the imagination of the Taiwanese pro independent rebels, much more destructive than the Iranians'. It is a total mismatch, a foregone conclusion should China decides enough is enough.
The billions spent or extorted by the Americans could be put to better use for the benefits of the Taiwanese people. Why keep on allowing the Americans to put their hands into the coffers to the Taiwan govt and the Taiwanese cannot say no? As the above quote said, the proposed sale serves US national, economic and security interests more than the interests of Taiwan. Taiwan is the first line of defence of the American Empire. In the event of a unification by force, the first country to attack and bomb Taiwan would be the Americans. They have said so, that they would destroy Taiwan's industrial complex making advanced chips to prevent them from falling into the hands of China.
Taiwan is America's first target to blow up in the event of war with China. Thank you America. The Taiwanese must be feeling very safe with this. Or they did not know, did not want to know that they are target number one for the American bombers and missiles? Taiwan will be the first front line defence to be destruct by the Americans.
Taiwan is paying the Americans US$2 billion to defend the American Empire. And this is only the beginning. More would be demanded over the years.
Good morning All,
ReplyDeleteFoolish beans conned by the UAssA to what's their approval by their Senate and CON-gress to sell their Main Business scrap irons of their fears instigations that enemies are harming you.
The Americunts made it such a big deal that you are lucky that we had our CON men and women who had their shares of their sale of their loots to sell their arsenals for your defence and survivals.
But, actually these or those countries with their also scoundrels in League with them also have their fair shares of the proceeds into their pockets also conned their own that this is necessary and we are lucky to be able to have these scrap irons for our defence.
One beats the Gong (the Taiwanese) and the other the drum (the Americunts)
The daft masses just tranced by them.
Stupidity no cure as their hard earned monies into the drains.
The Americans would be collecting the US$2 billion protection money first. When the weapons would be delivered is another matter. Maybe in 10 years, 20 years or would not be delivered at all. It is just simply protection money that the DPP is willing to give to the Americans instead of giving to the Taiwanese.
ReplyDeleteThe so called sale is just a charade. No such sales, and many American politicians would be paid a share of the loot.
Would the Taiwanese protest or be angry with it?
How foolish the Taiwanese are can be seen in their having to pay USA politicians to visit Taiwan to antagonize China. Throwing good money after bad takes on a new meaning. Even the UK politicians are on the money- making bandwagon, with former British PM, Lizard Truss, being paid hundreds of thousands for a four-day visit. It was a disgrace to the Chinese race for having such stupid people pandering to the Whites.
ReplyDeleteThe USA is claiming that the weapons that they are selling to Taiwan have been tested in Ukraine? Who are they trying to kid? China? Western weapons in Ukraine have indeed been tested in Ukraine - oh yes obsolete weapons as targets for Russian missiles and drones.
By the way most of those weapons captured by the Russians during the Ukraine War are now proudly on display by Russia. How they work and what are inside them are all now open secrets that probably the Russians are sharing with China for countering Taiwan. Even the Taliban knows how to reverse engineered those 'destroyed' weapons left behind by the USA in Afghanistan and put them into use, thousands of them now proudly paraded for the world to see to the chagrin of the USA.
Perhaps money laundering is at its tail end in Ukraine, so Taiwan is the next money laundering hub for those Congressmen and women. They will be voting for more and more sales to Taiwan.
ReplyDeletePoor USA citizens have to make do with homelessness, drug infestation, escalating health care, falling infrastructures and spiraling cost of living to come from all the tariffs being raised to make cheap Chinese products into expensive items.
American politicians have struck with this wonderful formula of weapon sales to Taiwan. There will be more weapons sales, and more visits to Taiwan. The Taiwanese just pay and pay. The Americans will just collect but no need to deliver anything. Everyone very happy. The American politicians all laughing to the banks.
ReplyDeleteOne side happy to pay, one side happy to collect.
Maybe the arrangement is to buy and kept those weapons in the USA. Both sides happy with those weapons seen as a grave threat against China. Oops, it is already the trend.
ReplyDeleteBuying and keeping in the USA make the Americans look so smart and the buyers look so stupid. The Americans know but the stupid buyers did not know.
ReplyDeleteIt must come across as true that only stupid people get conned or scammed.
ReplyDeleteSinga-land is another sucker or rather ATM for the Americano. Why need to buy very expensive war plane as well as paying for parking fees in seller land. Who are we fighting?? The new generation of war is by using Drone or Missiles or Chemical (vaccine). Can our defense minister get his head checked or he need to use his skill future fund to go for Military knowledge upgrade.
ReplyDeleteThey lie, they cheat, and they steal. On the other side they are happy to be lied to, cheated and stolen. It is a win-win situation, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe best part is not knowing who the devil in angel's clothing is. That is how successful the brainwashing over the years have been.
ReplyDeleteI foresee the beginning of another extortion ring. Must keep whipping up the threat from China so that weapon sales to Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Australia and Taiwan can pick up faster to save the USA's war economy.
