#Trump in December authorized an $11B arms package for #Taiwan — the largest weapons sale ever to the island — but has not yet moved forward with delivery & even acknowledged that he’s discussed the sale with #Xi. He’s groused that Taiwan “stole” America’s #semiconductor business & called on Taiwan to pay the #US for protection.

Far from demonstrating American prowess, as supporters of the #war have repeatedly claimed, the conflict has revealed a #US that is unreliable & incapable of finishing what it started. That is going to set off a chain reaction around the world as friends & foes adjust to the #UnitedStates’ failure.

The…losses suffered at Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, & throughout the Western Pacific in the first months of WWII were eventually reversed. The defeats in Vietnam & Afghanistan were costly but didn’t do lasting damage to the #UnitedStates’ overall position in the world….The initial failure in Iraq was mitigated by a shift in strategy that ultimately left Iraq relatively stable & unthreatening to its neighbors & kept the #US dominant in the region.
