They lost me when blaming Trump for pulling out of the Iran Nuclear deal, a total disaster and joke from Day 1, considering even the Senate Dems could even muster votes to pass it.
Then giving no credit to Trump, again, in working with North Korea to reduce tensions.

Tobad Business Insider has gone woke Democrat. Next they will publish another crap article on the benefits of supportng and working BLM and ANTIFA.

WNU,
I agree with you. India is a more easy pray than Taiwan. US and NATO is much more than India which has no allied and it will be a good training for a bigger fight with US and possible NATO.
Chinese troops don't deal well with the air and cold there. point to India
China will put more automatation there. point to China
There is more to it of course but we will see what happens.
I think the Chinese are tired of Taiwan being the powerhouse it is so sooner rather later they will do something stupid
