Yeah, good time for China to take over Taiwan.

What can we do to stop them, hurl stones?

Bwa ha ha ha

Some "commander in chief..."

On the flip side

Taiwan is 100x stronger then Iran
The US getting it's ass kicked by Iran is giving China a good reason not to attack Taiwan lol

China would not make the mistake of trying to win a war without boots on the ground

I do believe Taiwan would be no pushover

Maybe Taiwan should do what Switzerland did back in the day: announce that all the bridges and tunnels will be blown up if invaded, but for Taiwan substitute chip mfs for bridges and tunnels.

But would this actually deter an invasion?

Trump appears to be making a plan to make the strait and surrounding land a U.S. Territory.

Does he realize how if this somehow happens, many new U.S. citizens (who can vote,) he would be making?

Hell of a lot of good that will do.

The fat oaf can't even bend over to tie his shoes, much less beat the Persians.

Jail to the chief!

If they are going to do it, now seems pretty close to an ideal time at least as far as the current environment. Maybe they aren’t really ready, or maybe the threat is more of a Cold War type strategy about keeping some impending threat for some advantage.

The fat oaf declares the strait of Hormuz is now US territory.

LOL

That venal felon can't control his bowels, let alone the strait of Hormuz.
