I wouldn’t have been terribly surprised, just horrified, if ChiCom inroads against Taiwan wasn’t part of what Hillary had agreed in advance to give the Clinton’s long time buddies in corruption in return for a win in NK.

I say this having taken the stance that all of Kim’s actions are part of some script set in place for when Hillary had won but he’s just going ahead with his role in the game to get what he wants even though she didn’t in fact win and become President.

“Someone remind me...Didn’t we win Taiwan from the the Japanese at the end of WWII? We have a more recent and better claim to Taiwan than the Chinese. Maybe we should talk about them as an American protectorate. “

Yes.

Taiwan was part of Japan during the fall of the Chinese Emperor, establishment of the Republic of China, WWII, the Chinese civil war.

Taiwan had nothing to do with any of it.

“It’s a bad idea to provoke China over Taiwan issue.”

Thanks for your input, comrade.

We should make the same argument about Cuba and take care of business there.

Certainly concur.

We also need to reverse that vile proclamation by John Kerry of the Monroe Doctrine being “over”. He invited our enemies in by doing that.

Yep. Trump should reinstate it immediately to get foreigners out of Venezuela and Cuba.

Taiwan is not a country.
Taiwan is not a province of China.
The United States hopes that issues between Taiwan and China are settled peacefully.
Since the United States does not recognize Taiwan as a country, the United States cannot enter into a treaty with Taiwan.
