Trump Officials Announce More Than $11 Billion in Arms Sales for Taiwan

[东风夜放花千树]

I suggest that the United States first resolve the rare earth issue before discussing matters that threaten China.

These issues take too much time. The U.S. should first patch the holes on its aircraft carriers. During the U.S. president's parade, the posters had aircraft carriers with holes in the background, which seriously affects the country's great power image.

I care a lot about equipment, so I urge the U.S. to quickly repair its aircraft carriers. This aircraft carrier has been mistreated while serving in the U.S. military; the American armed forces have not given it the treatment it deserves.

Zelensky is being forced into a bad deal by Trump, literally every news report on the planet is reporting that, but yeah, lets stick to your wacko fantasy land

I have no sympathy for Zelensky; this is the outcome of being an agent of the U.S. and NATO countries. This situation has occurred multiple times in American history.

In 1975, when the U.S. military withdrew from Vietnam, a South Vietnamese official who had served the United States tried to board an American plane to evacuate, but was punched off the plane by an American.

In 2021, the U.S. military withdrew from Afghanistan, abandoning Afghan officials who had served the United States.

On November 20, 2025, Zelensky met with U.S. military official Driscoll, and the two sides held in-depth discussions on the "28-Point Peace Plan" proposed by Trump.

During this period, Driscoll was extremely tough, clearly telling Zelensky that this plan was the United States' "final ultimatum".

美国在170天内向冲绳投放了000万至190万吨空军和海军武器，战斗依然激烈。用导弹轰击台湾也无济于事，而且中国也远没有足够的导弹来征服台湾。

The United States has equally powerful firepower on the Korean battlefield, but what was the result? Chinese private enterprises have successfully test-fired hypersonic missiles, and you actually think China doesn't have enough missiles?

On November 17, according to Xinhua News Agency, Reuters, and Japan's Kyodo News, Japan's Ministry of Defense informed officials in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, that the 'Patriot' medium-range missile system deployed at the local U.S. military base had been completely withdrawn.

We haven't seen the United States strengthening its military power in the Asia-Pacific region. What we have seen is the United States pulling out weapons.

The US will surpass $30T GDP this year, and on track to surpass $40T in 7-8 years, and $50T by 2040. The US today is the wealthiest it’s ever been. It controls over 50% of world market capitalization and the majority of the worlds top technology companies thereby making the US the OS of the modern world.

US “decline” is only in your imagination

Very good!

Please continue to maintain this level of absolute confidence.

When he thinks that the industrial capabilities of the United States in the 1940s and China in 2025 are at the same level, you don't need to pay attention to him.

The total steel production in the 250 years since the founding of the United States is even less than China's steel production in the past five years.

jewish arms dealers are getting richer and richer at the expense of american tax payers

Funnily enough if you history search Mr F-22 with keyword Constellation class frigates, you would see a bunch of boasting and yet he never talks about it anymore.

View attachment 165964

Too many design changes and mission creep for the Connies. They wanted it to be a mini Burke, so cost and design change killed the program. New frigate program will likely be in next years budget

We all understand that China has never sought merely Taiwan—it covets everything America possesses.

Moreover, China's stance is increasingly clear: it shows no urgency in reclaiming Taiwan, instead leveraging its shipbuilding industry—340 times larger than America's—to rapidly expand its navy, aiming to seize U.S. naval supremacy and military dominance.

I wonder if you've watched the NBA. When a team's leader faces a challenge, he should respond to it himself. Pushing Taiwan forward as a shield only makes others think you've already conceded defeat.

And look at your answers—you always discuss your so-called allies, which precisely proves that deep down, you acknowledge the necessity of allies to counter China's advances.

Incidentally, when China's sights are set squarely on the United States, will these so-called allies come to America's aid? Or will they sit back and wait for the outcome of the China-American contest? History offers countless precedents for such moments. You may be unaware, but we know exactly what they will do.

Allies are force multipliers and why the US can project power across East Asia. It’s why we can fight on your doorstep and China can’t on ours.

The US has the most advanced and capable military in human history. Enjoy living in our shadow.

Your understanding is correct; we are a developing country.

i actually think China can subdue them just like they did with Uyghurs . also Taiwan is a small island with big cities not a good place to be guerilla fighter especially if China blockades Taiwan which they probably will

There are a lot of mountains in Taiwan. It would be similar to Afghanistan situation where they will carry out harassment tactics. Not forgetting it's coastline which is possible to smuggle in weapons.

Uyghurs is also not recognised as a freedom movement. However, if Taiwan is invaded, it surely will be supported by other powers, especially USA who wants to see the downfall of China.

 

[rafale]

No matter which way you game simulate or how much billions Taiwan spends on buying USA weapons, if China wants, Taiwan will be subdued within 48 hours.

Chinese know this, but they are waiting till the probability of their win is 100%.......not like the shoddy planning and equipment that Russia assumed would make them win in Ukraine.

Of course, American defense companies make lots of money, so they don't care Taiwan wins of loses and their sales don't even make a dent in the overall power balance.

But Taiwan is a battle that USA simply cannot win with or without Japanese. And Japanese really ain't stupid to fight a meaningless US war.

We have a 5,000-year history, and for most of that time we were the dominant power. We've weathered countless alliances, and I know exactly what your so-called allies are thinking.

Let me be blunt: you must possess the strength to defeat your adversaries alone—only then will they be your true allies.

Without that strength, your allies will ultimately become wolves feasting on your carcass.

America's current tactic of hiding behind allies only deepens their doubts about its capabilities. And your military aid to Taiwan will be interpreted as searching for the next Ukraine.

The EU, India, South Korea, and others—I can assure you that as long as China's sword is pointed at the United States rather than at them, they will sit back and wait for the outcome of the China-U.S. showdown before dividing up the spoils of the loser. Given China's current massive industrial scale and population size, the United States has no chance of victory whatsoever.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

Desperate last attempts by the americans to stay relevant…..a fast dying crumbling empire…..

There is no way it can defeat China now, and any attempt will ensure WW3 like scenario. I don’t think they can fight wars anymore.(usa)

More attempt to disrupt China's focus to completely dominate the cutting edge high tech.

Japan is actually too scared to become the Ukraine of Asia, so the focus shifts back to Taiwan.

 

[Yasser76]

The initial 28 point plan was heavily revised. Ukraine is not backing down on territory and the US is now guaranteeing Article V like security for Ukraine with Congressional approval.

Yeah, always an excuse for defeat huh?

 

[Yasser76]

Funny they said the same thing about Ukraine yet here we are and unlike Ukraine Taiwan actually has teeth.

Yeah, F-16As against J-20s. Broken teeth more like
