The Constitution of the United States guarantees a civilian controlled military. If the Commander in Chief is in office, then he is the last link on the chain. It's not up to unelected officials to determine what is a good call or not. This is scary.

So long as the left is in power, they're going to let China take back Taiwan. And then who knows what China will be emboldened to do.

The US government is hopelessly compromised and I am so sad to see this happening to my country at such a young age. I hope the pendulum swings back the other way, fast and hard.

It makes no sense, the left wants environmentalism but they also are Chinese sycophants and China is one of the biggest polluters. They make up "human rights" such as the Right to Not Be Offended and The Right to Kill Unborn Humans yet at the same time support terrorist barbarian groups in the Middle East such as the Taliban who murder Americans and abuse women and children openly.

Someone challenge me with countervailing facts. I would love to be wrong.

Social movements, regardless of ideology, have always been very susceptible to being influenced by outside forces. For governments, it's a very good return on investment to get a few leaders into the "grassroots" movements in other countries.

Are you referring to something like China influencing the NBA to oust fans supporting pro Hong Kong rhetoric?

I feel a strong sense of binary bias from this post.
