Sen. Lindsey Graham Says He Would Support Sending American Troops to Taiwan

Sen. Lindsey Graham( R-S. C. ) told Fox News on April 9 that the United States should send F-16 jets to the island, install nuclear-tipped missiles in its submarines, and send American troops to defend the country. This is done” so they can fight like Ukrainians.”

According to Graham, Congress needs to consider whether or not there should be a prosecution agreement with the beach of Taiwan. We don’t ,” he declared. However, I would be more than willing to use American troops to defend Taiwan because doing so is in our national security desire.

According to Graham, the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) in Beijing is” possibly setting the stage for a blockade of Taiwan.”

Before the vote, the Communist Chinese party will put us through a rigorous try this year and the following year. The Russians attempted to insulate West Berlin in 1961. Therefore, I worry that the Chinese may be preparing Taiwan for a siege in the upcoming weeks or week. If therefore, we must take appropriate action.

Graham cited Taiwan’s’s contribution to the development of computers and the threat posed by the CCP, which is rapidly militarizing and gaining” a stranglehold on the modern business ,” as justifications for defending the beach.

More than 90 % of the world’s’s semiconductors and the most sophisticated versions are produced in Taiwan.

The majority of transistors are produced by one company, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, and cards make up 15 % of Taiwan’s’s GDP.

What steps did I take to stop the blockade of Taiwan? I did warn the Chinese that if you blockade Taiwan, it will be difficult for you to obtain oil from the Middle East.

Graham declared,” I may step up my training and get the F-16s they need in Taiwan.” There’s’s a holdup. That queue may be resolved by me.

Graham continued,” I would send combat troops to South Korea and Japan.” ” Like the Russians did, I would equip all of our boats with nuclear-tipped boat weapons.”

Graham continued,” The chaotic withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan in 2021 gives Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping a sense of empowerment.”

Taiwan is not the issue. Lindsey Graham is not the issue. It’s’s Xi and Putin, Graham said.

Graham has frequently backed the United States’ efforts to wage war against Russia by sending defense and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

He added last month that” your airplane” may be shot down if” you had get near” another National asset flying in international waters and that Russia do” be held responsible” for destroying an American military aircraft.

Ronald Reagan asked,” What would you do right now?” Graham remarked. If Russian aircraft were a threat to our goods, he may start shooting them down.

Graham added,” American foreign policy is in freefall ,” and we’re’re in trouble on a number of fronts.
