US approves potential $500m sale of military equipment to Taiwan
(www.aljazeera.com)
Lol I remember in 2020 Taiwan bought 4 MQ-9 Reaper drones for $600 million (money up front of course, they will be actually delivered in 2025 - will they even still be around at that time?). Then, when Russia shot down (or better "pissed down") another MQ-9 drone over the Black sea, which Western news decried as pricey as 30 million...
Some Taiwanese did some quic maffs then... to discover... Lmao US friends get US friends prices I guess
Then those Taiwanese need to leave off their "quic maffs" and go read the purchasing contract instead. They bought a LOT more than four MQ-9Bs.
The US can be shitty enough on its own, there's no need to daydream stuff up.
