  1. Well said! You sound like a Japanese constitutional-law expert and a self-defense grant writer.

  2. With the rapid economic rise and global confrontation with the CCP, the US should remain a close ally with Japan and other democracies in the Pacific and Southeast Asia. If Japan is finally permitted to re-mobilize its military, the US can formalize its security pacts with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the Philippines. Establishing a NATO-like arrangement will work as a deterrent to Mainland China, Russia, and North Korea.

  3. @ [ 5:15 ] Normandy is listed as an American successful amphibious invasion? There were a few more countries.

  4. If North Korea has awaken Godzilla with their War against the Sea of Japan, then nothing will bring him back.

  5. It's not an independent country, and it's no where near the North Atlantic. They have partial protection from the US.

  6. TSMC has foundries around the world. They own the patent and intellectual property, but their semiconductors are made in automated factories in the US as well.

  7.  @bryanhiebert1941  I don't recall having a conversation with you, so why would you need clarification of a point?

  8. There's Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, India, and the Philippines. Hong Kong was lost, but there are more liberal democracy than autocracies.

  9. You do know Taiwan considers itself the leader of China? Heritage has nothing to do with their decision. If Mainland China is preparing to invade Taiwan, it has defeat the military alliance that has protected the island since 1949.

  10. Did you live there and select the president? The Ukrainians seem to believe that Zelenskyy is their legitimate president.

  11. The only problem is that Vladimir Putin stated his pretext for invading Ukraine, and it had nothing to do with NATO. Those are your words and not Russia's. The US has a Monroe Doctrine. Russia doesn't have the same level of influence in Europe and Asia. They're bullying and committing war crimes against Ukraine because they can't do the same against the US, EU, or NATO.

  12.  @TheNJB  You're repeating Kremlin propaganda, and it sounds like you're not familiar with the region. It's not half of the country. It's the Donbas, Crimea, and region bordering Russia. You mentioned NATO was the problem. Now you're going to start this claim about discrimination against Ethnic Russians? I lived in St. Petersburg for a summer and speak the language. Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainians are Slavic and have a common heritage. The city of Meripol is predominantly Russian speaking, and the thousands of people killed there were killed by Russia. Even the Russian-speaking Ukrainians have turned against the Kremlin. You should really learn how to recognize obviously lies. That's why Russian propaganda targets "useful idiots," who are quick to turn on their country and spread misinformation.

  13.  @TheNJB  The US has a global role, and millions of people around the world are trying to come here. You might disagree with it, but the US is an empire and protects its overseas interests. America has the ability and resources to close or secure the border if it wanted to. It might be business and political influence, but the US hasn't prioritized changing any immigration laws. Regardless, that has nothing to do with Ukraine. The US didn't just randomly get involved with the dispute. The US, UK, and Russia all agreed to provide military aid in exchange for Ukraine returning their Soviet-era nukes. There aren't many topics that have bipartisan support in Congress, but confronting and countering China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea is something all of Washington, DC agrees on. The military aid and NATO membership isn't about charity or handouts. The US rebuilt most of post-WWII West Europe to have markets to sell American goods, financial services, weapons, and energy. When this war is over, Ukraine will be a new market with 45 million Pro-American Ukrainians, and German-led EU will be transitioning away from Russian gas to be replaced with US LNG. This war was a miscalculation and blunder by the Kremlin. The leaders of the West are all united, and the US is the only country strong enough to keep Russia from attacking Europe.

  14.  @TheNJB  If it's not threat, then why is there a war? Are you speaking on opinion or fact? It has nothing to do with the media. There's only a single nation with the capability to destroy the US, and just because you hate China more doesn't mean Russia is harmless.

  15.  @TheNJB  You're giving your own assessment about US foreign policy. No politician or anyone who knows geopolitics will ever take an isolationist stance because we've already tried that and it got us the Great Depression, genocide, and WWII.

  16. Go ask House-Senate Democrats to impeach and remove their own president. See how that turns out.
