The Senate’s version of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) will include $10 billion in military aid for Taiwan, while Congress continues to send tens of billions of dollars to Ukraine, Defense News reported on Monday.
The huge endowment of US tax payer’s money would be given to Taiwan over five years in the form of Foreign Military Financing (FMF), a State Department program that gives foreign governments money to purchase US weapons.
However, Taiwan will be able to use $300 million of the FMF each year to purchase military equipment from its own industrial base, a privilege only currently enjoyed by Israel. Other FMF recipients need waivers to use the funds to purchase arms that don’t come from the US.

AntiWar.com report: The $10 billion is a massive increase from the $4.5 billion initially proposed by Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in a piece of legislation known as the Taiwan Policy Act. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee brought the military aid up to $6.5 billion when it advanced the bill in September.
But the senators have decided to include the military aid portion of the Taiwan Policy Act in the NDAA, which was boosted to $10 billion in a bipartisan amendment added to the military spending bill by Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI).
The Taiwan Policy Act would also boost diplomatic ties with Taiwan, requires sanctions in the event of Chinese aggression, and give Taiwan the benefits of being a major non-NATO ally. But those aspects of the bill were not included in the NDAA amendment.
The Senate is expected to vote on the NDAA when Congress returns to Washington after mid-term elections in November. Once approved, the House and Senate will need to negotiate the final version that will head to President Biden’s desk.
The Senate’s effort to give Taiwan a massive amount of military aid comes as tensions are soaring between the US and China over the island. China’s unprecedented military drills in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) visiting Taiwan and its rhetoric over the issue make it clear that more US support for Taiwan will only make a conflict in the region more likely.

Explain to us all how a bankrupt country can be so generous when their own infrastructure and society is falling apart? There is something evil afoot.

Protocol No. 20 – Financial Programme
To-day we shall touch upon the financial program, which I put off to the end of my report as being the most difficult, the crowning and the decisive point of our plans. Before entering upon it I will remind you that I have already spoken before by way of a hint when I said that the sum total of our actions is settled by the question of figures.

I tried to explain this to my adult kid and it became an explosive “hitler” rant, calling me a racist. There are good Jews. According to the bible, only 144,000. The Russian mafia jews are what led to everything bad in the world. They bought up all the banks and enetrtainment industry across Germany after WWI locking out local Germans from doing business during the worst times for Germany. Mel Gibson knows his stuff. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. And “Christians” remain blind because they are the “chosen people”.

So, $10 billion for the neocolonialist Foreign Policy?
What about $10 billion for the War on Drugs instead? Oh, that’s right, Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is a United States Mafia Drug Chieftain, so that would interfere with his Illegal Drug Business Operation of providing illegal Mafia drugs to the millions.
Go and watch the whole alleged democratic Congress erupt into mass hysteria when Pope Francis made his entrance as the triumphant Victor entering his newly acquired Dominions under barracks o bombers administration. Then you will know whose the Boss.
Watch the Speaker literally blubbering like a baby.
It’s unbelievable and you Americans are too stupid for words.
Speak for yourself moron.
Keep your fucking opinions out of American politics.
After calculating that is $30.20/person or $60.40 in my household!!
I feel that I would prefer my portion go into my boat gas tank!!!
Why the phuck do we always have to be the worlds babysitter?
