Taiwan is an ally, so they are out of luck
200 M1 tanks to Egypt too, crazy
That is because Taiwan is an ally and Egypt is not. See?
obama is a effing traitor closet muslim.
it’s one thing to piss on Israel and sell/give to Egypt but the Clown In Chief would not dare to antagonize the Bank of China by allowing the Taiwanese to upgrade their arms.
God will not remain silent on this.

I’m late to the thread and several people already made my point. Taiwan is an American ally - why would Obama sell to them?
Panetta dimed him out for not being anywhere in sight or sound during Benghazi, after telling the world that he was in the situation room the whole time.
He does what he wants, when he wants, and there’s not a thing anyone can or will do about it. The House has the power to stop a good number of things but they choose not to.
And if anyone, with a shred of intelligence, thinks that they will allow the Republicans to get control of the Senate next year, I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. No way they’d ever let that happen.
There will be voter fraud of epic proportion just so he can maintain the impeachment proof congress he has now.

But the Muslim Brotherhood is Obama's ally, not Taiwan.
It's always the muslim or communist side, for green on green or red on red conflicts it's always the more hard-core side.
If there are no muslim or communist interests, he votes present.
If as I suspect, he travelled to Pakistan so he could slip across the border and wage jihad on the Russians in Afghanistan as so many young devout muslins were doing during that time-frame, he'll side with islam should there be a red on green conflict.
Maybe President You Didn’t Build That doesn’t care for chicken fried rice.
Whoever wrote the lead for the IBD article doesn't understand the complexity of the Middle East. Funding for the Muslim Brotherhood comes from the Sunni/Wahhabi Saudi Family, the same general source that provided support for Barry, beginning at least with his entry to Occidental. With its nuclear capability, Shia Iran is about as existential a threat to the Saudis as was Saddam Hussein, who thought he had a green light to consume Saudi Arabia after moving unopposed into Kuwait. Until Jimmy Carter, Iran was moving away from Islamic Fundamentalism, and imams were no longer controlling fiefdoms, levying taxes, imposing their Koranic rules. Persian women went to school, and graduate school, returning to Iran from top schools around the world because Iran had apparently escaped the shackels of despotic fundamentalism. Iran's citizens are generally not Arab. With Carter's help, and help from the USSR, Iran changed into “An Islamic Republic”, with its leaders violently disposed to conquer Sunni Islam which support comes principally from Saudi Arabia, the Muslim Brotherhood's, and Barack Obama’s patron.
The source for Obama’s Saudi patronage, understandably buried by state-run media, is the attorney who defended Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan (demonstrating his nonalignment, since Farrakhan doesn't hide his approval, if not his involvement, with Malcolm X’ murder), The Mulim Brotherhood, Charles Rangel, an Army Air Corp vet, Manhattan Borough President, Percy Sutton. Sutton, a careful speaker, described Obama’s patron as Alwaleed bin-Talal, so described by bin-Talal’s legal representative, and Sutton's old friend, Khalid al-Mansour nee. Don Warden.
Warden/al-Mansour is a Boalt Hall graduate, Black Panther founder, and virulent black nationalist, who became a Wahabbi Muslim in the late 60s. Mansour first partnered with bin-Talal in a law firm using their names on the masthead in the early 70s. He has been a counsel for the Royal Family for almost forty years. Bin-Talal bestowed twenty million dollars upon Harvard in 1987, when Obama entered Harvard Law, possibly the result of the help in getting Obama into Harvard Sutton provided. Bin-Talal is the largest stock holder in News Corp - Fox News, Wall Street Journal - after Murdoch, and a major stockholder in Citibank, GE, Apple, Siemens, AIG, etc. etc. How much control Obama’s patrons exercise is anyone’s guess, but the plans probably began long before Occidental, when al-Mansour admitted first meeting Barry.
A 1979 interview with al-Mansour by Vernon Jarrett, Valerie's communist father-in-law, approvingly described al-Mansour’s plan to inject Saudi money, beginning with twenty million dollars, into US minority education for blacks and Hispanics. Al-Mansour was a principal organizer of funding for and creation of Wahabbi Madrassas in North Africa and the US. Jarrett, a friend and associate of Frank Marshall Davis for two decades before Davis escaped the heat to Hawaii in the late 40s, certainly knew Don Warden/al-Mansour. Jarrett certainly remained close to Frank, who became Barry's “surrogate” father (yes, some believe he was his father), in the late 60s.
The bottom line is that Barry was financially supported by by Saudi money, at least since Occidental. Percy Sutton asked about Barry's financial needs, and his friend “Dr. Whalid al-Mansour”, explained that his patron "was one of the world's wealthiest men." Sutton was, of course, dismissed as senile. Listen to the Youtube interview. He was slow, but very careful. If you've listened to al-Mansour you'll hear some similarities (al-Mansour still has many Youtube lectures, though the interview in which he described meeting Barack at Occidental has been scrubbed). They are both very bright men, both from the South, and both soft-spoken and compelling speakers.
Percy probably didn't, in 1985, know of the plans to promote Barry/Barack as a politician, and Barack’s handlers probably didn't dare ask Percy to lie. Mansour said in a recent local broadcast discussion, that he would not make the mistake of saying anything about Obama and their relationship. Sutton seems like an honest man, and anything but senile. Obots claimed a family attorney pronounced “the 88 year old Sutton” incompetent. Sutton's family said publicly that they had never heard of the attorney, that he didn't even have Percy's age right - he was 86 - and that Percy died with a keen mind.
Obama's decisions make perfect sense in the context of his patron's, the Saudi Royal Family. Keeping us dependent upon energy supplied by the Saudis helps secure their security. It doesn't matter whether or not Barry is a Muslim. It does matter who controls his decisions. Every replacement of a Middle Eastern dictator with the Muslim Brotherhood is a success. Assad, Mubarak, Qaddafi, Hussein, all resisted Muslim Brotherhood domination. Obama has been arming the Brotherhood through the "mission" (there was never a "consulate" or embassy in Benghazi - it was an arms depot for the Muslim Brotherhood). Both Hegel and Brennan worked for, or were paid by the Saudis to whom they consulted. Hillary's closest aide, Huma Abedin, worked for the Saudis (a Muslim charity group) and her parents were both senior Muslim Brotherhood employees. Every Obama decision should be viewed in the context of to whom he owes his position.
The reality, Red China is a biggest foreign ally for US democrats since 1970s. F-16 for Taiwan simply doesn’t fit into it.
