Summary
President Joe Biden approved $571.3 million in military aid to Taiwan, reinforcing U.S. support amid increasing Chinese military pressure.
This package follows a $567 million aid approval three months ago and Taiwan’s recent acquisition of 38 Abrams tanks, its first new tanks in 30 years.
Taiwan expressed gratitude for the U.S.‘s security commitment while maintaining discretion on the aid’s specifics.
China, which claims Taiwan as its territory, has condemned U.S. arms sales and escalated military activities around the island, vowing not to renounce force for unification.
Single payer healthcare would save money. No amount of unrelated spending is preventing us from having universal coverage. It would be cheaper to switch.
Do you happen to have a source for that? I’m not challenging you, I want to have a good one handy for other discussion, and don’t.
