Elaine McCusker and Emily Coletta, National Interest: Is the U.S. Military Ready to Defend Taiwan?
Any defense of Taiwan planning must fix four barriers to succeed.
As the debate intensifies on U.S. policy related to the defense of Taiwan, it is useful to examine when and why the United States would carry out such a mission and the potential obstacles to a successful outcome. Is the United States prioritizing national security in its resourcing and budgeting decisions? Is the U.S. military on a path to success in modernizing its equipment, processes, and capabilities to maintain a competitive edge over China?
We may not have much time to align the answers to these questions.

WNU Editor: The rhetoric from the Biden administration has been consistent. The current status quo is what they prefer. Unfortunately .... the administration is not providing the guidance and resources to the military to make sure the status quo is maintained. The above analysis gives a good summary on what does this mean.

Afghanistan debacle + Ukraine confusion = no need for China to worry about its victory in Taiwan, Biden-Chamberlain is its best allied.
Easy answer= NO. Agree above with 11:11 PM.
Who made the agreement with the Taliban to quit and leave?
TRUMP
the debacle wasn't leaving Afghanistan, it was leaving in a disastrous manner which is what happened under Biden.
Trump kept giving money to the corrupt Afghan govt...it failed yes and there was a mess same as in Nam. There would not have been that mess had Trump not made deal with the Taliban. Stop shifting blame.
"Stop shifting blame" take your own advice.

Leaving is not the problem.
The problem is how we left.
I do not expect a cogent answer from you.
One of Donald Trump's campaign promises was to end the war in Afghanistan. Last year, he negotiated an agreement with the Taliban to withdraw all U.S. forces by May 1 of 2021. That's less than two months away. Not represented in that agreement were members of the Afghan government. They're now negotiating with the Taliban
TRUMP FUCKED UP
