In international relations, deterrence theory explains why powerful nations may refrain from military action against smaller nations due to the presence of stronger military capabilities, as demonstrated by China's restraint in invading Taiwan despite economic incentives, which is attributed to American military power serving as a deterrent.

Consetvative Is FINALLY “HONEST” About Trump And SILENCES GuestsAdded:
case that China dominantly is holding back from Taiwan because of deterrence of American military power which is a known reality.
>> My claim is about Trump. My claim is about >> So once again to clarify your claim, you said that America is being laughed at, right?
>> And because the Supreme Court rolled it back doesn't mean it was the right thing to do.
>> They were not prepared, right, for for the attack. They're also not prepared for troops on the ground and they're ready and ready per what their prime minister said. But what I want to know is historically what they do have is the ability to cut off. Why do I need to bomb you when I can just cut off your supply?
>> You just said in your right breath and I'm just I'm trying to be fair, but it's hard cuz I'm getting annoyed at this conversation. I'm really getting annoyed at what you're saying.
>> Didn't they do it?
>> Yeah, I would argue.
>> Are you suggesting that I should understand the movement of every the the reasons behind every single movement of other countries?
>> I'm trying to get square the consistency, right? If it's the case that China dominantly is holding back from Taiwan because of deterrence of American military power, which is a known reality, I guess it's something talked about, and they didn't invade Taiwan despite the growing need for solar power, microchips, and the dominance of microchips, particularly during AI, which started under Biden. I would say the strongest incentive to invade Taiwan would probably be well, if Joe Biden was so on. So, uh, >> so I'm excited to get into this video.
This one is one conservative versus 20 liberals. And the topic at hand right now is President Trump is giving the world a needed reminder that America is leading I mean is a leading global superpower. And obviously right now they're talking about Taiwan.
And apparently they're blaming the the conservative women for not understanding all the world economics as if any human on earth understands all of it. But nonetheless, let's get into this and I hope you enjoy it. you know, under assuming if America was so laughed at.
If I were China, that would probably be the time that I would do it, right?
>> Okay. Sure. Sure. Maybe they could have during that season, but that does not You're You're creating a false identity of understanding everything that was going on in China at the time. You're suggesting that because they had a opportunity to do it during Biden that they would have if they didn't because the American military, nobody has ever forgotten that America is the like no number one global superpower. has the largest economy. It has the largest military that is most funded. Nobody's forgotten about this. This is why Mark I think if you look but what do you think that Trump has actually done since in his second term that has actually reminded people like world that he that we are the global superpower. What has he actually done?
>> Major dictators in in two different countries in the last let's get it straight months. So you said that the reason that uh Trump needs to remind the world what America is again a oil company with a military um is because of the fact that Biden couldn't speak.
>> So this woman is obviously aggressively liberal to the point where she's calling the freest country on earth an oil company with the military. And this is the problem with a lot of American politics today. rather than just being objective and you know pointing out the good things in this instance Trump is doing, you're just attacking America as a concept in general. America has given you the most freedoms that any other country will ever give you. That's a fact. This is not something I made up.
This is just objectively true. And because you're just so caught up, you're so brainwashed, frankly, and hating that side, you can't even see the fact that America's military is the reason you're able to do half of the things you want to do. And even when it comes to world economics, the what the conservative is saying is Donald Trump is forcing his hand. He's forcing other countries to respect the United States more. Whether you agree with that or not, I could not care less if you agree or disagree. But the point is this. America's military, America's systems are the reason you're even allowed. You're even freely able to get up on a podium, get up in a mic and say anything that you believe. And that's just a fact.
>> That's the reason why we needed to bomb children.
>> Well, it's not it's not just because Biden couldn't speak. I'm saying that the United States has been used and abused by other countries. We have been made fun of by other countries. Well, just look at China and the reason that Trump had to tariff them, right? We have been systematically >> which the Supreme Court actually like rolled back a lot of the tariffs that he that he instated because they were not Trump. My claim is about Trump.
>> My claim is about Trump.
>> So once again to clarify your claim, you said that America is being laughed at, right? Um >> and because the Supreme Court rolled it back doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. And here's the problem. Liberals will get mad at the Supreme Court for rolling back the Voting Rights Act, which they obviously disagree with. But then on the other hand, in the same breath, the same breath will say because they rolled back Trump's terrorists, it was the wrong thing to do. So now you're just going to go off of what the Supreme Court is doing and not off of what is right. What do And here's my problem.
What do y'all stand for? What do y'all stand for? Y you're going to sit here in your in your great mind and say Trump is bombing children. Do you know one of the most notorious presidents? They called him drone strike Obama. Barack Obama.
I've never heard anyone disrespect Obama like that ever.
Ever. And my thing is this. I'm just sick and tired of people being uh logically unfair when it comes to these discussions. They will point at every logical fallacy, everything Trump has ever done. But when it comes to literally any other president, they don't see it. They they it doesn't even cross their mind.
You're even pointing to a Republican Supreme Court that you don't even like.
And you specifically or was not anymore >> specifically because of Biden and his inability to speak right and therefore we need to again bomb children in Iran.
Um I don't know like >> so did we actually bomb children in Iran because from what I understand >> have been bombed in >> No, I understand. So the school >> Yes, we absolutely did 175. So again, the school was actually close to a a a um nuclear base that we did bomb, but Israel twice went back.
>> Israel and the United States did not take ownership of that particular bombing. They they took literally have your your administration whom you support has put out a statement that said per our new intelligence that we actually did bomb the school. And not only did they do it once, they did it twice. But this is giving Darvo to me cuz the prompt as far as I was aware of was Donald Trump is reminding the world that we are the global superpower. Why are we talking about Biden? I want to know specifically what this man has done to the global economy. Uh I want to know in terms of NATO and foreign relations.
I want to know in terms of how he's affected fuel and transport. I want to know how we what I'm not even going to give you. I just want to know specifically so we can stop talking about what Biden did and we could talk about the crime because we have >> you know what I actually like her for asking that because she's actually trying to be logical. She's not over here just being a a chronic man hater or a chronic person hater when it comes to the Republican party. She asks what has Trump done to show in the world that we're a superpower. And that's a fair question because now we can talk about what he's done. Trump has done exactly what he wanted to do. And that's the entire premise of this debate. What Trump has done is everything that he said he wanted to do and he did it without any type of how do I say this opposition really. He showed that a president when they're sitting in office can do what they want.
They can say we're going to go to we're going to go over there in the Middle East. They can say we're going to close the trade of Haruse. They can say I'm going to impose tariffs and I dare someone to stop me. He did get stopped like by the law but he still did it.
That's what he did. That's what she means when he says he proved that we're a world superpower. He is the number one person in the strongest economic country on earth. He came in the White House and did exactly what he wanted to do. Name one president, and this is not even about liking him or anything like that.
Name one president ever who has done that, who came in the White House and said, "I'm going to do exactly what I want to do. I'm going to dare you to stop me." especially name one on the Democratic side. I can't name one. Obama has given reason she's mentioning Obama because he's the biggest prominent Democrat president. Obama came in the White House. He had wishes. He didn't do them. Biden came in, he had wishes, he didn't do them. Trump came in and did exactly what he wanted to do from day one. Whether you love him or hate him, it's the truth. It's the reason why we're even doing this video right now.
>> 20 minutes and we're not about to sit up here and deflect and talk about Biden.
You're stating this claim about Trump.
So respectfully, can you please let us know >> exactly concisely what he has done instead of reminding him people laughing at us. We're not going to debate that.
What has he done specifically?
>> So again to the prompt stating that Trump is giving people a reminder that we are a world superpower. So I will answer that. So when I look at our foreign relations right now, the number one thing that I was happy about was us removing federal aid from other countries that have been ripping us off.
Let's be honest, we are pouring money into the country that we constantly fund like uh whatever that they need to do, right?
Um we understand that like America's military has become a supplementary power to Israel. So if you want to talk about federal aid and our foreign policy, you your biggest concern should be us constantly funding and backing um that country.
>> Well, I disagree. I think Israel is actually a how do I say this? It's it's a beneficial ally for us when we look at where financial aid is going and we see things like >> Israel. I don't have a problem with find, you know, funding Israel. I'm actually not against that because we need someone in that region to care about American interests. He's destabilizing our our interest. He's destabilizing our interest. They're there. He he's we are looking at a deolarization, right? People don't want to have our dollar. The >> But that did not start under the other countries. You're correct. No, no, no. Actually, no, no, no. Let me tell you, let me tell you something. As a history teacher, you're correct. That did not start. Bricks was already in existence. But do you think so? Here's the thing. Why would we then strategically put ourselves in a position to empower that movement to isolate from allies to put to we literally are the so >> particular allies are you upset that we are no no thank you and I don't want to be distressful but I do want to finish my thought because I want to give you an opportunity to respond we are the sole reason that the straight of Hermus is closed that's 20% of the world's oil supply right now Iran is Not the American military.
Clearly, although although they were not prepared, American and Israel were not prepared. That dome done. Done. They were not prepared, right, for for the attack. They're also not prepared for troops on the ground and they're ready and ready per what their prime minister said. But what I want to know is historically what they do have is the ability to cut off. Why do I need to bomb you and I can just cut off your supply?
>> Do you realize how you sound right now?
You just said in your right breath, and I'm just I'm trying to be fair, but it's hard because I'm getting annoyed at this conversation. I'm really getting annoyed at what you're saying. You just said in your right breath, America is the reason why the straight of her muse is cut off and why the world doesn't have any oil.
You do realize Iran is blocking something that they don't even own. Iran doesn't own the straight of her muse.
Did we forget that they're blocking land using it as leverage against other nations? They don't have the power to block it. It's not their country. It's not their land. That's like you having a house and you blocking anyone from driving on the street. So, how could you in your right mind be so foolish to say we're the reason is cut off? We're the reason no one can get oil. But then mention Iran as if we're on their land attacking it. They're blocking something they don't own. They're using a straight that doesn't even touch their land that well is not owned by them.
as leverage to the other parts of the world.
So, no, I'm not going to sit here and be quiet because this is stupid. This is foolish. You have people sitting here defending middle like defending crazed other countries against their own homeland. What are we talking about? And I get it. You don't like Trump. You don't like what he's doing. You're You have the right to your opinion. I could not care less, honestly. Um, but at the end of the day, you can't sit here and say, "Oh, America's the reason we're blocking something." No, they're the reason it's blocking. They don't even have the power to do that. If anything, they should have got pressured a long time ago. They don't own that land.
What are we talking about?
>> My next prompt is that transgenderism is a mental disorder and should be treated, not affirmed.
>> Hi ladies, I'm Marian. My name is Rhonda Bankston.
>> I'm Chelsea Gods.
>> I'm Bella. I'm Liz. Nice to meet you.
>> Nice to meet you all. You, >> too.
>> All right. So, just to summarize my claim or why I feel this way, I look at transgenderism and I see that a human with a perfectly functioning physical body is telling doctors that something is happening in their mind to make them believe something about themselves that physically we can see is just not true.
So I do believe that it is a mental disorder similar to schizophrenia or anorexia and that it should be treated and not affirmed.
>> Can I ask what the treatment you think is?
>> Absolutely. I one I think way more therapy right. We should not be pushing children into gender affirming care such as you know any type of hormone replacement or anything of that nature.
Therapy honestly my suggestion would be a lot more therapy. I would honestly say you go push with therapy as much as possible.
talk about it for so long though like you're still living every single day with gender dysphoria >> and I'm just wondering like what is the treatment for it besides just talking about it?
>> Well, if we take the instance of anorexia or bulimia, they go to rehab.
So perhaps there should be rehab centers where these individuals are directly treated and given a lot more direct and everyday attention. But I do believe that if we stopped running to medication very quickly, we would give a lot of these espec especially children, we would give them time to come out of this this belief system and and see that they actually do not want to go through physical surgery.
>> I agree with you. So a man thinkketh and so is he. I'm a registered nurse 33 years. I've seen all ages of transgenderism and clients feeling as as small as 3 years old telling me that miss a little girl says Miss Rhonda I want to be a boy. I feel that.
>> So even the people on the left who are in working in healthcare agree with her in this instance they're she's actively agreeing with the claim that yeah you know maybe this is wrong. What do y'all think about this though? All in all though, this conversation has been crazy because you you have Americans who are downright defending um the blockage of land that other nations don't even control. Even though these lands have even historically oppressed their citizens, you're still defending them. Um not even historically, they're oppressing their citizens even today.
But what do I know? Uh my name is Elefar Jojo. Please make sure you like and subscribe and I'll see you on the next
