Interesting. so he’s telling Taiwan and Japan to start getting their own militaries strong enough that they can stand on their own. I have no automatic hostility toward the general concept were it done healthily (making sure both Taiwan and Japan transition to good military without issue). It’s a matter of self sufficiency and that, at some point, each place should be baseline strong enough on all crucial facets of it’s empire to stand on it’s own. Better to be able to and choose not to than to not be able to. Having puppies just weaned right now, I don’t disagree with the behavior. Weaning Taiwan and Japan off American military will help both longterm and also get american tendrils out of foreign stuff. Just my take. Feel free to downvote to negative infinity since I’m agreeing with a trump decision. Taiwan just has to hope Trump doesn’t give them to China, which he may be doing. he appease all the bigwigs they let him stay king forever? That tha plan? he going to give ukrain to russia, taiwan to china, then pres for life backed by china russia?
