“Chris Murphy, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, thinks Donald Trump has just put America on the road to war.”

LOL. Coward.

major pivots in foreign policy w/out any plan

You mean you don't have any plan. Trump apparently has one. In fact, you guys haven't been paying attention. He always has a plan. He is fighting a campaign and you have all the awareness of an insect squashed in the radiator.

We should never have recognized mainland China. The chicoms have been actively working on taking over Taiwan through political (and eventual military) means. How can we let that happen? Just leave Taiwan to be eventually and inevitably absorbed by mainland China? It will happen if we don’t do something about it.

[ Stop Freaking Out, Donald Trump’s Taiwan Phone Call Was a Good Thing ]

The Daily Beast has this? Wait, how long have I been asleep?

Next thing, you’ll be telling me Kramer is working at Brand/Leland and has to be there by nine a.m.

I hope that Trump sees the difficulty of being Chinese and in Taiwan. If he didn’t initiate the call, he certainly should have.

During the phone call, Donald Trump ordered:
General Tso’s Chicken
Hunan Twin Delight
Egg Fu Yung
Chow Mein
Fried Rice

Taiwan delivered 20 minutes later to Trump Tower.

First, Trump did not place the call, the President of Taiwan did. Most news sites are not pointing this out, they seem to be implying that Trump did, and playing it as a gross mistake by an incompetent political beginner.

Second, always remember this:

NEVER underestimate Donald Trump.

He has a plan, he never does anything without a plan. It’s in his genes after 40 years of large scale building and real estate.

The media thinks it’s legitimate for China to dictate to an incoming American President who he can talk to. The media forgets that it was customary for American Presidents to talk calls from the Taiwan leadership until Jimmy Carter switched the protocol in order to curry favor with China. Trump is just reinstating the original protocol.

So let me get this straight.

Communication between heads of state causes war, but the following does not.

Promoting a coup to topple an elected leader. (Ukraine)
Arming rebels and terrorists with weapons and training in another country. (Syria)(Libya)
Ending support for a leader that has been a long time ally and forcing elections. (Egypt)
Trying to get known terrorists organizations in control of a countries government. (Egypt)(Syria)(Libya)
Assasinating an elected leader. (Libya)
Pulling out needed security forces and leaving a country defenseless. (Iraq)
Forcing stable countries to accept hundreds of thousands of refugees from all of the above. (EU)(US)

It is being widely reported that this policy of not talking to Taiwan goes back to Carter. Does that mean that Trump is the first president to talk to Taiwan

SINCE REAGAN???????
