Oh dear, good luck, my Indo-Pacific friends! Americans showing interest in anyone these days can only lead to trouble!
USA can’t be trusted… ask Ukraine, Iran and now Taiwan
What you are witnessing recently is the much awaited, yet slow "pivot to Asia," the final step and the most important one to American hegemony. Donroe doctrine to secure the western hemisphere was the first step. However, oil (int'lly mostly middle east)) is the intermediate step that has hit a snafu. But sounds like S. Korea, Japan, Phillipines etc. are stepping up in the meantime. Then again if they pull it off too well, would the US then become the freerider?
US can’t even do what he says with Iran. How much credibility of US power in China’s backyard?

US: “Our department of ‘War’ is tasked with keeping peace for the globe “ 😊
The Regime off Usa has spoken.
This guy used to work for Fox News. Do you trust him ?
Ok .
What is Germany's position then about this my friend ???
Scenario 1: MuriKKKa is invading Taiwan, for national security. Operation Epic Fuzzy Furry
Scenario 2: MuriKKKa throws full support behind China and supports the reunification of China with Taiwan and will not come to the rescue of Taiwan.
Is it about how US is conquering the world?
A call for everybody to develop/buy weapons independent of the hegemon?
Europe will develop their own. Others will buy from China, Europe and Russia.
By the way, China's military budget is well below 3.5% of GDP. May be Hegseth wants China to up the budget, as China is now a great friend of US, according to Trump.
Hey, Hegseth Ken Carson called he wants his suit back
What is this clown saying!!.. He needs to get better quality dope!!
Dw needs to upgrade their internet plan
