WORLD WAR 3: U.S. Senate Proceeds on Legislation to Give $6.5 Billion in Military Aid for Taiwan

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a measure on Wednesday that would give $6.5 billion in military aid to Taiwan, in what would be a dramatic escalation toward conflict with China.

In addition to giving $6.5 billion in military aid to Taiwan, the legislation, called the Taiwan Policy Act, would give the country the preference of a “major non-NATO ally,” funneling arms into Taipei, and mandating sanctions against China if they launch attacks against Taiwan.

This legislation would move the U.S. dangerously closer to a proxy war against China. It passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by a 17-5 margin. The only lawmakers who opposed the passage of the measure were Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY), Ed Markey (D-MA), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Chris Murphy (D-CT).

“This is not a time to radically change long-standing policy … without an appreciation of the consequences that may follow,” Sen. Paul said following the passage of the measure through committee.

Big League Politics has reported on China’s growing rage over the U.S. intervening further in their affairs with regards to Taiwan:

“On September 2, 2022, the United States government announced its proposal made up of three contracts roughly around $1.1 billion for supplying arms and technical services to Taiwan.

As a result of this increased military aid to Taiwan, China is urging the US to stop providing Taiwan with weapons. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on September 5 that such actions threaten to increase tensions in the Taiwan Strait.

“The Chinese side insists that the United States abide by our bilateral agreements and stop supplying weapons to Taiwan and conducting military exercises involving Taipei,” Mao said at a news briefing. “There is no need to create new factors that increase tensions in the Taiwan Strait.”

Mao stressed the importance of the US not turning to “political machinations” to destabilize China. “The US must stop using Taiwan to contain China,” Mao continued.

Russian state media outlet TAAS listed off what’s contained in this $1.1 billion aid package:

“Equipment and logistical support for radar stations, 60 AGM-84L Harpoon Block II anti-ship missiles (Harpoon Block – 2), four ATM-84L-1 Harpoon Block II missiles and 100 tactical air-to-air missiles AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder (Block-2 Sidewinder).”

The US Congress still hasn’t fully reviewed these aid agreements, but several international relation pundits believe that Congress will end up approving this proposal.”

Taiwan is currently conducting an aggressive lobbying campaign to drag the U.S. and other foreign countries into war. This would be an even bigger disaster than what has occurred in Ukraine in recent months.
