Democrats and the White House have agreed in principle to raise the threshold for asylum claims as part of the bill to fund wars in Israel and Ukraine, but liberals are livid — and Republicans want more.
If I buy a gun, the store is not directly transferring the gun to me. It’s a transaction.
No, that is literally and legally a transfer and a transaction.
Jesus Christ.
Why do people with no understanding of language attempt to play semantic games?
Why do you deny that this is an escalation?
An escalation of Taiwan’s ability to defend itself against imperialism? You yourself admit that there’s no chance of Taiwan invading China. So why is Taiwan being able to defend itself so worrying? If China’s only interest is in peaceful reunification, Taiwan’s military might is irrelevant. If China is willing to go to war to annex Taiwan against the wishes of it’s people, that’s imperialism, and makes you a bootlicker.
So why is this an escalation? Is that you support imperialism (obvious answer), or that you haven’t fully thought through your own argument?
Oh, and for anyone following, in the past 30 years we’ve sold almost 100 billion dollars worth of military equipment to Taiwan, and are currently considering an aid package of 6 billion dollars over the next ten years. Much escalation. Very wow.

You’re the one playing semantic games! Fuck, my point was that this new transfer is different and you jumped up my ass trying to pretend like zero escalation has happened and this is nothing new. This is clearly new! This is clearly a step above what we were doing before, and Democrats are selling out refugees to keep doing it (or did you forget what this thread is about?)
What the fuck ever. Technically transfer always happened. You were right.
But surely you realize that subsidized transaction is different from pure financial transaction!

Taiwan doesn’t have to invade for these weapons to be used against China, you realize this right? All it takes is one boat being sunk because China is trying to control trade routes into Taiwan.
No, that is literally and legally a transfer and a transaction.
