Trump's Initial Unreasonable Demand of Ukrainian Natural Resources

Image
The idea of Ukraine sharing its natural resources with the US, originated by Senator Graham, is genius. It removes many frictions for supporting Ukraine. However, I have an issue with Trump's original demand for the following two reasons: Trump initially demanded that President Zelenskyy sign a piece of paper to give the US 50% of the revenue from many natural resources, which could amount to $500B or more. Trump claimed that the U.S. spent $350 billion on assistance for Ukraine. The Kyiv Independent provides a detailed breakdown of the aid provided . Pentagon's official number is $183B: $52.6B financial/humanitarian aid, the most authentic aid.   $69.8B military aid largely for purchasing US weapons. $58B for the US defense industry. The US aid is substantial, but a big chunk is in the form of US weapons including surplus and decommissioned weapons. The European aid to Ukraine is $151B. It has to be hard for those of us who have been for years criticizing the PRC for its BRI ...

Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge, prelude to capturing Kinmen?

Image
 Despite Taiwan's zero interest in the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge linking the Mainland's Xiamen with Taiwan's Kinmen, the PRC went ahead to build it. The construction of the Xiamen section is in full swing . This bridge can be one of many potential triggers for the PRC to take Kinmen, which TW has no real interest in defending. Trump's way of dealing with Moscow thugs may greatly encourage the PRC to take the Kinmen and Matsu Islands, both of which are within the range of the PRC's conventional artillery. If Witkoff thinks it is understandable for Moscow to send troops to Ukraine to "protect Russian-speaking people" (BTW, most older Ukrainians speak Russian), it will be even more understandable to him for the PRC to send troops to defend Hokkien-speaking people. Kinmen was never a part of Formosa (the main island of Taiwan) until Chiang was determined to hold it, deploying 100k troops to the island with US support. The ROC (Taiwan) symbolically has a few thousan...

PRC's understandable hardline in dealing with Trump

Image
The PRC has been taking a hardline in the trade war with Trump, reminiscent of the Korean War, where Mao threw in 2.4 million cannon fodder to fight America and its allies. It is easy to understand the middle school dropout's hardline once you put yourself in his shoes. This is what you would perceive: Your Moscow lapdog plays Trump and his confidant Witkoff like fiddles. Would you want to fare worse than your lapdog, a provincial-level head? If you were the emperor of the Central Kingdom and meticulous in creating and maintaining your image of power, would you want to look worse than your serf of your Russia province?  Here is how your Russian lapdog plays the fiddles:   1. He wants Crimea to be Russia's permanent territory. Trump's administration recognizes it.  2. He wants to ban Ukraine from NATO membership.  Trump's administration strongly supports his position.  3. He wants to topple the "Zelenskyy regime", and Trump's administration worked hard with...
