Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Can't afford a robot, best we can do is give you a rifle and some boots.
Wasn't there a recent unclassified US wargame over Taiwan? IIRC one of their main conclusions was that the degree of support from regional allies, Japan and Australia specifically, was pretty decisive.
Incidentally, I remember another major finding was that the US did not have the supply infrastructure or depth of ammunition reserves that would be needed, which also seems reasonable/likely. Haven't seen any signs of improvement on that issue, but seems like a big one to watch for.
it looks like rather than asking for concrete plans to "defend taiwan" the US are asking for more defense spending right now
no numbers were given in the article but i wonder if the "5% gdp" number they've been pushing in Europe is what Colby was askin for
