Taiwan Needs a New President

I don't believe she is capable of waging a defensive war against the CCP, even if it is the case that Taiwan couldn't hold out long regardless. After all, how many Taiwaness are willing to defend their freedom from control by the CCP? Most would be willing to surrender if the CCP could guarantee their livelihood.

A Taiwanese officer "bent out of shape" by my suggestion that Taiwan defend itself like serious small countries do, with an all-people defensive militia that greatly outnumbers the invaders. Unsurprised. They believe in prestige weapons, sharp uniforms & parade-ground drills. https://t.co/lldRnFtd0x

NEW from Doug Bandow: The American people deserve to know what they might be expected to die for. Washington is filled with people who believe that being a superpower means never having to limit ambitions or fear the consequences of military interventions. https://t.co/io0wKU1E2Z
