One of my theories is that President Trump back in 2017 when he was traveling from country to country was actually negotiating a deal with all those countries about how the world order would be changing. I think to get China on board he had to negotiate Taiwan away (let China invade and America looks the other way) and he had to negotiate Ukraine to Russia (same thing). I also think the full withdrawal from Afghanistan and giving the country back to the Taliban was part of this as well. I know this sounds like too much to give up but I think Trump is good at looking at things outside the box and he realized that although these things seem like a big deal, they are not that important from an America First agenda. However, I also think Trump set up Biden to be the fall guy for these moves. Take Afghanistan for example. Trump was always talking about pulling out and ending that war, right? But wasn’t the general wisdom from military experts that as soon as America left, their puppet regime would fall to the Taliban? So how do you negotiate withdrawal without taking the blame for collapse? Pin it on the other guy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ukraine is invaded by Russia and Taiwan is invade by China, both under Biden’s watch, and he doesn’t do anything.

Q
Obviously nobody wants countries being invaded, but if American President with an America First agenda were to say, “Why is this America’s problem?” then that isn’t totally unreasonable. Taiwan should be a free country, but isn’t it up to the people of Taiwan to rise up and stop that? Is it the obligation of some kid in Tennessee to fly to Taiwan and put his own life on the line to defend the Taiwanese homeland?
Also, even if Trump did negotiation a kind of soft, look-the-other-way approach to both these situations, letting America take a step back from being world police, that doesn’t necessarily mean the invasions would be that easy to pull off. There is the possibility of other forms of international pressure, and internal resistance, stopping that, or turning it into a chronic shitshow that drains those country’s resources.
Look at Afghanistan. Russian was there for a decade and it drained them. America was there for two decades and it drained them. And now it might be China’s turn to get sucked into that hole. On one level that might seem to be giving China too much power, but on another it could be pulling them into a trap and stretching them thin.
I also think when it comes to negotiations, Trump is willing to play a little dirty. On the campaign trail he talked about how he would negotiate with Iran. He said first thing, before you even come to the table and “pay Iran want you owe”, he would demand all American hostages be released. “How can we make a deal if you are holding our hostages? Let them go then we can send you that money.” He said Iran would fold to get the money. Then after the hostages were released, Trump said he would sit down with Iran and say, “Boys, I’ve been looking at the books and turns out we’re broke. We can’t pay you back.” Iran would reee and say they were betrayed, but you still got the hostages back and didn’t have to give them anything. I could see a similar strategy in negotiations with China and Russia. Promise them those invasions will go off without a hitch to get them to agree to something, then when they invade, just go, “You killed too many people in the invasion. In light of these human rights abuses, the deal is null and void and we will join in the chorus of international outrage against you.”
I like this theory because it lends credence to the fact that the current admin never received absolute control of certain, very powerful military assets. Those moves can’t be made without the self assurance that you can defend your kingdoms walls from future treachery.

Mine as well. But I think Taiwan will stand strong, they've been preparing for an invasion by China for decades and decades.
China is the one that will fold first if they try to invade Taiwan. They have to resort to underhanded tactics to do anything.

Well said. Agree.

Did you see the president of El Salvador’s tweet to moodys ratings?
He basically told them to go fuck off
Ludicrous. Everything we know about President Trump puts this theory straight in the shitter.
