China will not crush Taiwan over Americas Afghanistan situation...there are about a million foreign manufacturing and high tech companies ingrained in Taiwan's infrastructure from all over the world...an attack on Taiwan is an attack on the world economy...Australia, Philipines, India, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, the US, New Zealand and many many European nations would come to the aid of Taiwan...they have computer technology China does not have and the US has first dibs on..Taiwan is working now to produce chips in the US ...this is sabre rattling by Beijing...also Taiwanese engineers and businessmen are heavily invested in mainland Chinese manufacturing plants....they'd be ruining the people who make their profits lives without having the knowledge to replace them...Taiwan has won the economic war within China itself by investment...they say their economic army is keeping them free....Taiwan has been a free country for a long, long time...China is full of shit

Don't underestimate their arrogance. The same could be said about their nemesis, Trump.

I lived there for 20 years and have traveled through both countries extensively...I know their sabre rattling...I was there when Hong Kong turned over and during Tianamen Square and the SARS epidemic...they are already on shaky ground with all their neighbors...Taiwan isn't Afghanistan by any stretch...Trump is an embarrassment period...he's disgraced and they know exactly why...China is not dumb in that way...he's America's nemisis and N Korea and Russia's buddy

What if the country believes in Sharia law?

Not all countries provide the outlet for free speech, and we should respect that.

We don't have to respect anything other countries do. Our private companies should certainly not be forced to host anything on their servers they don't want to host.

Doesn't matter what year it is. Trump wants to be their buddy, no question about that.

And?

Where does this leave us in 2021?

They are publishers, not platforms then

Nope. Not the way the laws are written they aren't.

That tweet from Wolf is a bit like saying "Biden said he doesn't like apples, and now I see him eating spaghetti! WTF?"

[riverman]

He's addressed this clearly...he didn't think the Afghan govt and military would surrender immediately after a trillion dollar investment by us over 20 years...nothing hidden in this at all..nobody else predicted the govt would cower and surrender without a fight ....it's over..move on.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

 

[riverman]

America's troops are back!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

America's troops are back!

No they aren't

 

[riverman]

No they aren't

they will be! End of the month

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

they will be! End of the month

 

[riverman]

Those troops are an escort service to get our people out safely...that's all...think of them as one giant Uber ride

It's fun to watch right-wingers alternate between "Biden left our beloved Afghan friends to die" and "Biden is letting dirty Afghans immigrate to the USA"

Can a mod tell me what his handle here on S2 is, so I can add him to my ignore list?

I love when my tax dollars directly fund terrorist organizations like ISIS and the Taliban. I bet leaving weapons and equipment over there means we won’t ever have to go back. Isn’t that how it works? Or are more of the weapons we payed for just going to be used to kill future generations of our friends and neighbors who serve in the military?

you didn't go there at all so you'll definitely not be going back.me neither..they just buy newer guns when they get home ..the idea is that we blow up most of the stuff ...a fourth of July fireworks display for your tax dollars....think of it as a halftime football celebration! The Taliban favors Russian guns...they handle the weather better than ours and don't jam up as much..what we always leave behind are trucks and jeeps...doesn't pay to move them all that far and defense contractors love to sell us the newer better trucks and jeeps

While our elected officials end up sitting on the boards of these defense contractors. Not corrupt or anything. Start a war as a policy maker then cash in off of that very war in the private sector. The phrase “money laundering” comes to mind.

War is the purest form of capitalistic greed and power....also a way to reclaim and resell or develop real estate...of course they launder money and cut deals with the govt...it's the biggest lobby on the planet... this war was started several presidents ago....pretty sure only Dick Cheney sits on that board of defense contractors..in essence every time you buy a gun or ammo you're feeding the beast...oil or gas as well...bring back the bow and arrow and horse and buggy damnit!
War sucks!
