Sorry, Taiwan

Dear Taiwan,

I know you are a free country struggling to maintain independence in the shadow of the mighty PRC. Your bold fight for independence is inspiring to freedom-loving people everywhere.

I'm so sorry it won't last.

As you are no doubt aware, the United States has elected a spineless weasel for President. Combined with our current financial predicament, the USA will cave to the PRC and leave you twisting in the wind.

I expect it will go down something like this: China will move naval forces within sight of your island nation and dare the US to do anything about it. Behind closed doors, Chinese representatives will let it be known that if our military interferes with their "internal dispute" they will dump all of their Treasuries on the market, finishing off our economy.

Obama, who is weak-kneed at the best of times, will pull our forces back and wag his finger at China. In other words, he will do nothing and you will all suffer. China will invade, we will do nothing and once your lovely country is brought to heel, China will dump their Treasuries anyway.

So, it is with deep regret that I must apologize in advance. Of course, you won't be able to read this after the fact which is why I'm writing it now.

Sincerely,

Director.
