You love claiming Reagan was all in on this deal, yet as this 1986 LATimes article will show you, Ronaldus Magnus was quietly funneling not just billions in military aid, but ale the equipment for the Tiawanese to continue to arm themselves.
Reagan pissed the Chinese off in a big way, as Trump will if he acts in the best interests of our country also.
One of the few things that I can credit Obama with is the insistence to continue to supply military arms to Taiwan, though 1.2 billion is a drop in the bucket compared to what they need at today's prices.
