US has their troop boots on the ground in Taiwan. US wants to put China in a box, yet it won't work.

@Castlepaloma By 1975, the US had reduced troop strength and removed all nuclear weapons from Taiwan. Current troop strength is approx 70 stationed at consulates and missions for protection of the defense attache and equipment.

@glennlab

US has half of the world's military budget with 4% of the world's population. Who are they kidding calling their military defensive military, and not a offensive military. Most Countries know US are by far the leading terrorist. US love pointing their one finger at everyone esle as terrorist, wail pointing three fingers back at themselves. Including 25% of the world's prisoners, in their jails. How dare they call themselves and their media, the land of the free.

Got that backwards. Russia and China have bonded recently to a whole new level. US has been doing wars every year ever since Abraham Lincon was assassinated.

@Castlepaloma Russia and China have not "bonded". China is being duplicitous, in order to gain leverage on US trade restrictions.

@Petter

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have signed a series of documents on "strategic cooperation" between Beijing and Moscow after what Putin described as "successful and constructive" talks at the Kremlin. The BRICS is booming also.

China has been tripling US GDP every year for the last 25 years. When US risies China tariffs up to 30% . US has not been helping their people , mainly
the government . Because mainly they haven't replace those industry with something better. China haven't cost their people on major wars since 1979.

@Castlepaloma In 1938 Chamberlain signed an accord with Hitler. "Peace in our time". Ha!

@Petter

They are the greatest liars. Today, these are the same people or same kind of people that are at it again, for one last time. Third world war is a charm. The more they squeeze us in their hand , the more we slip through their fingers. They are unveiling themselves.

Seek mental health care soon.

@Paul4747
I just let the narritive do all the visiting mental and physical doctors. Doctor errors and pharmaceutical is the leading cause of death in the world, far greater than war. W hy would I want to join that ceremony suicide?

In numbers of death in wars is at a historical lowest ever. Going to war seems racist , US invading countries since Lincoln every year . . Its about economic war and the east will l be trading and dealing with themselves. Just like America race economically will be dealing with themselves more so. I feel most sorry for G7 not keeping up with the times and progress.
