    I’d like to read, USA has made a contract to deliver a 5 billion worth of fishing rods and hooks. I think it’d make a nice change of pace.

    Ah so the same regions the US and Australia regularly have drills in under the guise of “freedom of navigation.” Surely they wouldn’t be hypocrites about that would they?

    If China grabbed Taiwan, Trump’s response would be: “So how much are you going to pay me to not care?” And they’ll pay him, and he’ll be fine with it, and say “I created peace between them, when Biden, Obama, and Clinton all wanted to keep spending all that money to keep them separated. I should get all the money that I saved.”

    Taiwan “Hey Ukraine, got a few of those navel drones for us?”

    Ukraine has shown that a traditional naval power is pretty weak.

      lol yeah cuz Ukraine is doing great right now, huh?

      Taiwan is likely looking at how the West used Ukraine and seeing its own future if it comes to war, and is not excited for it.

      Sure, the war on Ukraine and a possible war on Taiwan have so much in common, you are such an expert of warfare, they just need drones.

      Why would they need to ask Ukraine for them when Taiwan has much more mature electronics manufacturing sectors than Ukraine?

        There are other bits to making marine drones than just electronics.

        Tomahawks are “just electronics” too and I’m pretty sure Taiwan can’t mass-produce those
