Just add some brown people and throw a wedding. The factory will be leveled within hours.

You know what doesn't convince people to rethink how they view America, or empire?

Arbitrarily inserting comments like that into topics where they're disconnected and off topic.

Wait a minute...are you a DoD contractor whose mission it is to make any critic of America look whiney and detached from reality?

He’s not wrong is he though? And besides, what is Taiwan besides an American client state?

Mitch McConnell's wife and Trump's Secretary of Labor - Elaine Chao - is from a family of enormously wealthy Taiwanese shipping magnets.

California is flush with Taiwanese-born politicians, business owners, and investors.

Taiwanese's ruling class goes to school in the US, owns property in the US, and has a very friendly relationship with the American financial system.

I would put them more on par with Israel than, say, the Philippines or some Latin American Banana Republic. They've got much more influence over us than a traditional client state like Puerto Rico or Guam.
