What is Taiwan's 'porcupine strategy' and how effective is it? https://www.foxnews.com/world/what-is-taiwans-porcupine-strategy-and-how-effective-is-it
3 years ago, Taiwan ordered 105 M1A2 SEP Abrams tanks, 800 javelin missiles and dozens of javelin launchers. They also ordered F16 Fighting falcons.

They probably won't get them all until 2025 or so.

As you can see, they have hundreds of M60-A3 tanks in good condition.

They also ordered a large quantity of torpedos.

Taiwan is not worried about climate change, Taiwan is worried about an invasion by Communist China.

What is Taiwan's 'porcupine strategy' and how effective is it?

Interesting share LTC (Join to see)...Taiwan is in a precarious position. They have a 1st world economy & lead the world in many tech areas, including computer chips. They are the #3 economy in the Asia/Pacific Region. While Taiwan, since their founding is an Independent Country (China, itself has never ruled over the island of Formosa (where Taiwan is located) in the history of the world). They are claimed by mainland China, which has been ruled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since post-World War 2. And China considers Taiwan to be a "rouge" Province of China and could very well take direct military action against them in the next year or two. It would be a huge mistake & I believe Taiwan could put up quite a defense against the People's Liberation Army (PLA). Stay tuned...!

Asia’s top-performing economy in 2020 could grow even faster this year

Taiwan's economy grew 3.11% in 2020 compared to a year ago — outpacing China's 2.3% expansion during the same period.

It would be like Switzerland.. They have a low country and a high country defense defense. Remember switzerland's been neutral for 300 years but it's ais but it's also prepared to fight if invaded.

Taiwan shoots at Chinese drone after president warns of 'strong countermeasures'

Taiwan fired warning shots at a Chinese drone which buzzed an offshore islet on Tuesday shortly after President Tsai Ing-wen said she had ordered Taiwan's military to take "strong countermeasures" against what she termed Chinese provocations.

While the world is so dependent on their chips, I don't think they have anything to worry about. China has acted sometimes if they believed an adversary would be hurt worse than themselves so that's not an absolute.

LTC (Join to see) - A delicate situation sir. My first instinct is to down the drone, but China can be looking for an excuse to start any kind of action.

Well, they need to worry about the existential threat of climate change and they need to rid themselves of the patriarchy. The threat of China is nothing compared to what will happen in hundreds of years when the oceans rise another inch around the world and the temperature rises another 1/2 degree. Instead of spending all their money on weapons to stop China's expansion, they need to instead spend that money on solar panels and wind turbines. Get rid of those tanks that use all that polluting diesel and switch them all to reliable battery power, which they can get from their close friend, China.

Don't forget That China and India demanded a waiver on complying with climate change until 2050 for China I think in 2060 for India. So all of our efforts are going to be done in vain and at the expense of our future While China and India continue to do business as usual.

SFC (Join to see) I believe the college bailout scheme is going to explode in their face like an M80 quarter stick of dynamite. They didn't know that's righthat's rank and file Independent voters will make the difference in the midterm election.
Look at this public broadcasting system National Public Radio poll from early this year that was done before poop before Putin's prices kicked in. The inflation was already up quite a bit and democrats think we are stupid but we were already upset even before the invasion of the invasion of Ukraine and look at the independent voters not liking president Joe Biden. Notice that most democrats don't want him to Be at their campaigns because it's a kiss of death.

LTC (Join to see) - SFC (Join to see) - This has got to be an intentional attempt by the left to destroy this country. They can't be this stupid.

LTC (Join to see) - Looking at the way things are going now in Europe and their lack of energy to meet demand, people will start to freeze to death in the coming winter. No need to worry about nuclear war when you're frozen in your house.
