It's not about the Taiwanese People. It's about Rare earth minerals in Taiwan. Taiwan is not a Nato country, Neither is Ukraine. The US takes countries resources and make Politian's Rich. Not the American People.

Has their ever been a time where military drills/ exercises turn into the real thing?

[MsAnpassad]

I do hope that they aren't planning to pull a Russian special military operation.

My guess is china will invade Taiwan before we find out who our next president will be 😂

[devildevil]

It's just killing marine life and sea birds 😂😂

[rikudouray]

How by giving them weapons like what they did to UA?

[graysonburkhart]
