My girlfriend is from Taiwan and she keeps telling me how this is normal...

[j.d.]

"Just an exercise"
Where have I heard that before?

[tatonga]

US to France: Can we count on you? France: we're right behind you - ribbit, ribbit, ribbit

[e.h]

Imagine if an adversary were to surround the U.S coast with a threatening posture and say “ don’t be alarmed, we’re just training to take over and target specific landmarks. We’ll be done shortly”.

[kwebber]

If you live on the East or west Coast there is probably A Russian Submarine within 500 miles of you as we speak...

[markcosenza]

It's probably just a CCP weather balloon. 😂😂

[ThomasWayne]

Can always count on the French to surrender 😂

[Nimori]

That’s concerning. Russia did the same before they full on invaded Ukraine…

[Red-Brick-Dream]

China is a paper tiger. And unlike Russia, it _knows_ it's a paper tiger. Hence the sabre-rattling.

[johnnydayton]

What do you think Biden will do?? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

[daniellabra]

Let these politicians fight their own wars. Too many people die over wars started by corrupt old people who do absolutely nothing for the people except take their money.

[birdman]

Wait until we show Chinese our new weapon 🥠💥🥊

[Dimesca]

I wonder how many US Submarines are in the waters having fun with them

[germanichero]

just manufacture the chips here and stop meddling in foreign affairs.

[Make_America_Native_Again]

Free the Taiwanese from the Republic of China.

[jvcyt]

If this is the relationship between us and our most favored trading partner, I'd hate to see how we get along with our enemies?

[DistrustHumans]

No one talking about Elon Musk starting a huge battery manufacturer in Shanghai at the same time?

[ncb]

The Taiwan issue that China should reclaim Taiwan gets broad based support in mainland china because you aren't free to express a dissenting opinion. Polling in this regard is not fair polling.

[theskateguard]

No balls China ain't gonna do nothing

[mechxr]

Nothing going to happen all B S this has been going on for years.
