Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, on a visit to Taiwan Saturday said an isolationist policy isn’t “healthy” and called on the Republican Party to stand with her country’s allies, while still putting in good words for the party’s nominee, Donald Trump.
Haley, who ran against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, told reporters in the capital, Taipei, that supporting U.S. allies, including Ukraine and Israel, is vital, and she underscored the importance of Taiwan — which Beijing claims as its territory, to be brought under control by force if necessary.
“I don’t think the isolationist approach is healthy. I think America can never sit in a bubble and think that we won’t be affected,” she said.
At one point, I actually respected Haley for running against Trump and calling out his constant crap. But she has zero spine. She's turned out to be just another maga supporter defending him at every turn.
Is that surprising to you? Anyone left in the Republican party cares more about money and power than principles or whatever else you think a politician is supposed to care about.
whatever else you think a politician is supposed to care about.
Technically, that’s the republic. Currently it’s the unheard and unseen masses of staffers and wonks and bureaucrats who hold this mess together. The fancy poster boy people are just there to rally the common folk around a single figure.
She's fishing for a spot in his administration, even though his chances of winning are going down. She could have taken a stand and joined the never trumpers, but that would require patience she lacks because as long as he's alive trump owns the Republican party lock, stock and barrel. It will be interesting to see what happens to it when trump finally croaks.
My bet is on it fracturing. Cults of personality usually don't survive the death of their leader, and that's exactly what Trump's diehard supporters are - Flavor-Aid drinking cultists.
Oh, shut up, Nimarata "Nikki" Randhawa Haley. You don't give two shits about America being isolationist or not. You only want Taiwan to stay independent because of its tech. If it was just any other island nation in the Pacific, you'd let China take it and not bat an eye.
You back a party that would turn on you and JD Vance's wife, given a chance. They don't care about you. They like white, seemingly Christian men. They would sooner suck Trump's dick then shake the hand of Indian woman like yourself.
I have as much faith in Nikki "doing the right thing" as I do Melania. They've bent the knee and kissed the ringmushroom micropenis, and made it very clear who they are. We should listen.
The cognitive dissonance is real. How this silly twit can say "isolationism is bad" and "Trump good" in the same breath is truly astounding.
Trump worked toward isolationism like nobody in the last century and if he gets in again, Project 2025 puppetmasters will take that up by an order of magnitude as they create a new Sharia law environment and distance the rest of the world even further.
Nice random islamophobia. You see people in the US who hate Muslims and Islam doing authoritarianism in an America way and immediately jump to "this is just like Islam!"?
Do you even know what Sharia Law is?
Unfortunately, anti-islam sentiment is increasingly one of those bipartisan issues...
