I guess those 300 or so US bases already ringing China aren\u2019t sufficient. She appeared with Alaska Republican Senator Dan Sullivan on Meet The Press to boost the case for expanding NATO all the way to China\u2019s neighborhood. NATO\u2019s proposed expansion to Russia\u2019s border with Ukraine provoked a Russian invasion that has largely destroyed Ukraine as a viable nation while killing upwards of a quarter million. \u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><b>She appears oblivious that the US Proxy War in Europe has funneled over a hundred billion in US treasure to keep Ukrainians dying while neglecting the critical needs of the US homeland. Does Duckworth really think Proxy War Asia will work out any better? She\u2019s got the US on track to funnel another hundred billion in military and economic aid\u2026.this time to Taiwan.
