It probably would have been on the table if Kamala had won.

I mean, the democrats just had to have a primary, put in a populist and watch Trump get buried.

Instead we have this.

I mean, let's not get crazy now.

Why would the Taiwan government give up half of its leverage for US defense and investment if Kamala was president?

Because the Trump administration has proven itself to be dishonest and willing to go back on past agreements.

I’m not sure you’re aware the reputation America has given itself.

They'd be more likely to not that they definitely would. They are definitely not going to under Trump

I mean sure but they're also more likely to agree to give America all their resources, factories, and land, and launch kamikazee attacks against mainland China until their population is expended under a dem president than Trump.

Either has a likelihood of approximately zero because it literally only benefits the US at the expense of Taiwan, and the US influence of its puppet government is only so strong, we still need to contend with local politics.

Amen to that brother. It was simple and we screwed it.
