re: The World Watches How We Respond to Ukraine - No Support Will Turn Other Allies Against Us

quote:

The world watches us, both allies and enemies.

China capitalizes on America’s failure to support Ukraine. They fill Taiwan and Philippine radio airwaves with propaganda, telling those citizens “Look at how America turned their back on their ally, Ukraine; they will do the same to you.”

Allies in the South China Sea are watching us. NATO is watching us. Australia is watching us. And they take to heart how we treat our allies in their time of gravest need. The less they feel they can rely on America, the more they will turn away from us and towards China.

China’s aggression won’t stop with Taiwan. If they exercise full control of the South China Sea, that will completely cutoff Japan.

That will affect world trade and our way of life beyond a point most Americans realize.
