    Rick Scott introduced the Taiwan Invasion Prevention Act

    Are people concerned about Biden's apparent weakness regarding China?


    Thursday, September 17, 2020
    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott introduced the Taiwan Invasion Prevention Act, sponsored by Congressman Ted Yoho in the House, to protect Taiwan from Communist China’s growing aggression. The Taiwan Invasion Prevention Act further reinforces the U.S.-Taiwan relationship and strengthens Taiwan’s ability to resist Communist China’s aggressive moves.

    Senator Rick Scott said, “For months, I’ve called on Communist China to stop abusing human rights, live up to its commitment to respect Hong Kong’s autonomy, and end its efforts to crack down on Taiwan. Communist China continues to threaten our important ally – a threat not only to the people of Taiwan, but to the United States and our allies around the globe. We must do everything we can to discourage Communist China from using military force against a peaceful democratic power, and the Taiwan Invasion Prevention Act demonstrates our commitment to Taiwan and to the importance of freedom and democracy.”

    I am concerned about Joe Biden's weakness period.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    That's great; Rick Scott is willing to get the US involved in another war. And at what cost in lives and money to the US?? It's one thing to impose sanctions but another to engage in military action.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    I found the following article, and thought that it might be pertinent:

    TAIPEI—Taiwan has spotted Chinese drones circling the Taipei-controlled Pratas Islands in the South China Sea and may shoot them down if they stray too close, a government minister said on Wednesday, a move that could dramatically increase
    tensions with Beijing.

    Speaking at parliament, Lee Chung-wei, who heads the Ocean Affairs Council under whose purview the Coast Guard falls, said that they had recently spotted Chinese drones circling the Pratas, though they have not flown over the islands.

    “They have never entered our restricted waters and airspace, they’ve just flown around them at a certain distance,” Lee said.

    While China does not recognize Taiwanese claims of sovereignty, its aircraft and ships generally stay outside Taiwan’s restricted zone, which extends 3.7 miles from its coast.

    Asked how the Coast Guard would react if a Chinese drone entered that restricted zone, Lee said they had rules of engagement.
    “After it enters it will be handled under the rules. If we need to open fire, we open fire.”

    The Pratas lie at the top end of the disputed waterway, and have become a relatively new source of intrigue between Chinese-claimed Taiwan and Beijing.

    In recent months Taiwan has complained of repeated Chinese air force activity near the islands, which Taiwan’s Coast Guard only lightly defends though there are periodic deployments of marines. There is no permanent civilian population, only occasional visiting scientists.

    BTW his fake bombing in Syria was him and his clan trying to fool people into thinking I have a gun and will use it.

    No he won't. I am not even sure we actually bombed anyone.

    It's funny, how the Trump cult can't decide if Biden is a warmonger or pacifist weakling. They all need to get together and settle on a single stupid whiny point.

    Anyone who can do no better than name calling--why, anyone who supported Donald Trump must be a "cult[ist]"--is probably not a truly serious person...

    Success bothers Democrats. They are afraid that we may expect it of them also.
