Lol
This trump is so unbelievable and unpredictable

And this makes him dangerous, even American citizens fear him. The same trait that made him to fall for Netanyahu's gimmick which successive America presidents before him had avoided. Now, he's stuck in the Middle East, he's now at impasse with Iran

What is Trump drinking?

All these hypocritical reporters

If he said otherwise, same people will say he is instigating war with China

numericalguy:
Taiwan have been acting up towards China because they got US behind them but same US was massively disgraced by Iran so it is logical why US would advise Taiwan not to start any war at the moment because US is 100% exhausted from the Ukrainian and Iranian wars

Is this delusion or what? Iran disgraced US but Iran is the country in ruins with all of their leaders dead, jokes on you.

Abi allies have abandoned the US . Trump cant talk to Germany and France for any help as we speak, quite unusual

He didn't carry them along before attacking Iran jointly with Israel. Trump doesn't dignify any ally

Every thing no be economy.

America is already too advance in meaningfull human social integration. China is too mono cultural to speak for the whole world. Economy is one dynamic it's a multi level economic/social/ cultural/ religions analysis

The only level.china is close to America is economy. At other level they are in the primitive stone age. Way too rigid

I hope south Korea is watching this, first he abandoned Ukraine and insulted NATO and the entire Europe, it is better for these countries to abandon america completely for protection and normalize relations with their big neighbors.

Trump admires the likes of Vladimir Putin of Russia, xi jinping of china and Kim of north Korea so much that he will rather sell US allies to these countries than doing the needful

First off he didn't insult entire Europe, he told them the truth. its never personal with trump just logic and common sense.

Trump wasn't the one who got Russia to invade Ukraine and end up losing more territory to Russia that was Biden and NATO work and fault. undecided

As for Taiwan what trump said has always been the understanding. No independence but there is an alliance with the US and China can't attack Taiwan either so what's abandon there? undecided

Not that china is more powerful oo but just to exercise restraint... No be fight fight everytime... And meanwhile both leaders agreed that Iran cannot have nuclear weapon

Did Iran have Nuclear Weapons since 1947 despite Satanyahoo claiming they can have it in his unending two weeks ultimatum?... grin

Infact, Iran having a Nuclear Weapon after constant bullying by America is legitimate for deterrence, considering America doesn't bully Nuclear Weapons countries like North Korea and the other countries... grin

Without the stern warning from Xi, Trump should already know Taiwan belonged to China. Reunification is inevitable and there's nothing USA can do about it. USA cannot afford to go against China - they won't be able to deal with that much power.

Trump is indirectly telling Taiwan we won't come to your aid if you declare independence and China invades. America has learned from Iran.

America actually learnt from Iran how to kill a country's supreme leader, kill their top generals and also take over an entire airspace...kudus to Iran 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You do not get it at all. Iran case have taught USA that it is not business as usual. And if Iran can punch USA to such extent, how much Extremely more Super Mighty China Directly over Taiwan? This is why NATO which includes USA can't dare Face Russia Directly because They know Russia would be 100 times Brutal than what The Concentrated Super Powerful Nation is doing to Ukraine that they view as Relatives.
This is 2026 not 1946!!

Ouch.. This is not good. America cannot be trusted anymore

Not really. The reason why America is interested in Taiwan / China issue is coz of TSMC. America doesnt want China to control major global chip manufacturing.

But US is thin with Patriots and other missile defense batteries now. They have exhausted about 50% of their stock piles on Iran war. The total sum is a combination of Israel, Saudi, UAE, and Qatar's stock.

Yes US surely still have abundant offensive missiles but quite thin on defensive weapons.

And it's basically China that controls rare-earths, a major component for remanufacturing those things.

More so, if Iran can stretch US this much with their bunkers, China is a totally different ball game.

Trump knows he can't fight China now, bearing in mind that he does not even have usual support of allies.

That's why he has been playing a gentleman game beside President Xi.

Every action of a leader has distinct consequences.
