WritterNg:Look how they're recycling these 50 years old jets amongst themselves. But some fools here would be quick to label Russian weapon as "Soviet era" weapons, forgetting that Soviet era was barely 35 years ago. And US weapons are far older than Russian weapons. Because the US introduces theirs first then Russia makes theirs to counter them. So technically US weapons are usually far older. 5 Likes |

⚡Donald Trump says Taiwan should pay the US for its defense guarantees. He claimed Taiwan "stole our chip business" and "should pay [the US] for defence". Trump compared the US to an insurance company, stating: "You know, we're no different than an insurance company. Taiwan doesn't give us anything." Trump questioned US ties to Taiwan and said it would be "very, very difficult" for the US to defend Taiwan against a Chinese attack. He suggested that China is reluctant to attack Taiwan only because it would destroy the chip manufacturing industry. Trump accused Taiwan of taking "almost 100 per cent of our chip industry".
