U.S just sent 2 carrier groups near Philippine sea. U.S soldiers to Ukraine are very low in comparison (8.500 troops).

@zexsypmp23 After Biden's performance in Afghanistan, Most leaders around the world do not believe the U.S has the dedication to a fight a prolonged war.

@komodo Sadly, we are now headed for a world war 3 because of unqualified leaders.

@zexsypmp23 Putin is pretty much against all liberalism. The endgame for him is to sit on the negotiating under his terms.

US will ask China for a temporary alliance against Russia when things get rough.

US approves $100m deal for Taiwan to upgrade Patriot missile system

Defence sale will help ‘maintain political stability, military balance, economic and progress in the region’, says US

The United States has approved a possible $100m sale of equipment and services to Taiwan to “sustain, maintain, and improve” the Patriot missile defense system used by the self-ruled island claimed by China, the Pentagon said.

A statement from the US defence security cooperation agency on Monday said it had delivered the required certification notifying Congress after state department approval for the sale, which was requested by Taiwan’s de facto embassy in Washington.

Upgrades to the Patriot air defence system would “help improve the security of the recipient and assist in maintaining political stability, military balance, economic and progress in the region”, DSCA said in a statement.

“This proposed sale serves US national, economic, and security interests by supporting the recipient’s continuing efforts to modernise its armed forces and to maintain a credible defensive capability,” the agency said.

The main contractors would be Raytheon Technologies and Lockheed Martin, it said.

Taiwan’s defence ministry has said the decision to obtain newer Patriot missiles was made during a 2019 meeting with US officials in the administration of president Donald Trump.

The democratically governed island has complained of repeated missions by China’s air force in its air defence zone, part of what Washington sees as Beijing’s effort to pressure Taipei into accepting its sovereignty.

The United States, like most countries, does not have official relations with Taiwan, but Washington is its biggest backer and is bound by law to provide it with means to defend itself.

US officials have been pushing Taiwan to modernise its military so it can become a “porcupine”, hard for China to attack, and such arms sales always anger China.

China’s ambassador to the United States said last month that the two super powers could end up in a military conflict if Washington encourages Taiwan’s independence.
