After watching the fall of Kabul, would anyone still believe that the US would fight China over Taiwan? I don't think so.

I kept saying...
Taiwan is NOT going anywhere...
China can wait.

And it looks like the waiting is over...
The next election in Taiwan will do it...
The next leader will start the transition toward re-unification...

They spent 20 years occupying the country.

They spent 3 Trillion on it.

When withdrawing, they lost the fort instead.

Their enemy walk in and occupy the country instead.

They end up evacuating instead, abandoned hurriedly.

What a shame.
