Without firing a shot, Biden and his co-crooks have handed Taiwan over to Communist China, withdrawing all our fighter jets.
First the Afghanistan debacle. Gasoline doubling in price. Outrageous inflation and spending, while our southern border is overrun by illegal immigrants costing Americans billions of dollars annually.
Now Biden's hacks wave the white flag at Communist China, which gave the Bidens millions of dollars, like Ukraine did.
America's downhill debacle accelerates, thanks to Democrats. How proud every Democrat must be of destroying America.

The US Air Force has retreated from Taiwan without a shot being fired
The US Air Force is the biggest and most powerful air force in the world: but maybe not for long. The service is struggling through twin crises – one of money, another of belief in itself – that could narrow its aerial advantage.
At best, the USAF might emerge a smaller but still world-leading force. At worst, it might cede its lead to its most dangerous rival, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). It has already made something that looks awfully like a retreat from the Western Pacific, withdrawing squadrons in the face of the growing Chinese menace.
The USAF isn’t the only American armed service that’s shrinking while its Chinese adversary is growing. After wasting billions of dollars on ships that don’t work, the US Navy is contracting even as Xi Jinping’s fleet is expanding.
The Air Force’s problem is similar. A quarter-century ago, the USAF committed to spending much of its $250 billion annual budget on the Lockheed Martin-made F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter – a plane which has been beset by cost overruns and reliability problems.
