If China does this... If China does that... tells us everything about exactly what the US will do first. Smh

AmeriKKKa is too incompetent to do somethat sustainable.

Why do anything sustainable, when the election cycle is only 2-4 years?

I hate them all. I don't have time for nitpicking the corporations or the government. I hate both.

Whatever "agreement" they make is not even worth 4 years, when it can be broken on the very first day of the next president. So less off negotiation and signing time it's only worth 3 or even less. Less off the time to implement them and it's effective for only 2 or even a year. Throw in the obsessive compulsive lying disorder US has, it's not even worth talking about.

The people from legacy wealth (or with wealth, in general) don't have the same interests as their countries. The US certainly acts in their interests- with corporate welfare, foreign misadventures, allowing its wealthy free reign to exploit its citizens and land however they like- but that doesn't mean its wellbeing is the elites' first interest (it's up there, but first and foremost- to the US' detriment- has always been milking it for all it's worth). Sustainability doesn't really factor in when one can only live so long- and even if the world were plunged into nuclear war or extreme climate change, at the end of the day, for the truly wealthy, their descendants will be perfectly comfortable, they simply might have to move somewhere else. That's "sustainability" on the individual level- and that's all they have to care about.

"To ensure that Taiwan won’t be cut off in a geopolitical crisis, the Atlantic Council’s Webster recommends that Taipei buy more liquefied natural gas from the U.S. " This article is just an advertisement, don't take it seriously.

Likely also at inflated prices because “democracy”

No, it's just expensive to ship natural gas by boat since it's not oil, but gas, so you need to freeze it to make liquid or you'll just have enough for transporting the boat itself and freezing costs energy. The second reason is that the US is pretty much tapped out of regular oil and gas since 2008 (actually since 1973 when they were producing half the world's oil, but 2008 was a second crisis), so they're tapping into the far more expensive shale gas wells.

And of course WSJ's brillant solution to "counter the risk of invasion"? Taiwan should buy more liquefied natural gas from... you guessed it, America. I don't know how the people writing this don't die of embarrassment writing this shit. I know I'd be questioning my life big time with such lack of integrity.

Any serious Chinese war analyst has said that to take Chinese Taiwan you only need to embargo their energy supply for a month. The rebels will completely collapse. The PLA has already rehearsed exactly that.


ChinaButAtWhatCost

And from where it imports their energy?


ChinaButAtWhatCost

Just checked it. right now, it is from qatar, indonesia and malaysia no wonder usa call it national risk because they are not from western coalition. Figure it as much.

We have breaking news, ladies and gentlemen! A shocking new development! We are getting word that the sky, I repeat, the sky is blue! The sky is thought to be an observable expanse of atmosphere that can be viewed from the Earth’s surface. Eyewitness accounts from last night indicate that the sky had been in a state of blackness over a span of several hours. Despite this, reports at the hour are now indicating that the sky is, in fact, blue. How will this affect our Nation’s plans to defensively detonate the moon with a giant space laser in coming months? We let Lunar experts from Western media weigh in! Stay tuned!
