I don't want to be too facetious.

But the fact of the matter is what China has done now since the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis, think about that.

30 years ago, they did some missile gunboat diplomacy.

It totally backfired and failed.

They haven't done that since.

Now they've done some incursions.

I know.

I've been to Taiwan.

I've had the briefings from the National Security Advisor here.

So I've got some action.

I'd go to Taiwan too.

And what you're really seeing is

China here is just getting stronger and stronger and stronger incrementally.

That's true economically.

That's true militarily.

And at some point, Taiwan may just fall in their lap.

They may not have to actually use military force.

And look, we've run out of all of these boutique missiles.

There's so many of them.

We're really hurting now in terms of supporting Taiwan.
