This is not just a line in the sea—it is a line in the sand. How we respond to Taiwan’s challenges will shape the global order for generations. We must not blink. From Manila to Taipei, the message is clear: Taiwan’s fight is not Taiwan’s alone. It is the fight of every nation that values sovereignty over submission, law over coercion, and freedom over fear.

Now is the time for every American to stand resolutely with Taiwan and the Philippines.

The world is shifting. The structures of power that once seemed immovable are beginning to fracture. The influence of the West, particularly the United States, is waning, and as it retreats into isolationism, new global players are stepping forward to reshape the world order.

The war in Ukraine has laid bare a fundamental divide in how global powers view their responsibilities. At the heart of this contrast are two sharply different approaches: President Donald Trump’s hard-nosed individualism, rooted in economic self-interest, and Europe’s often clumsy but deeply felt commitment to collective security.

Terrorism, climate change, social injustice, and economic uncertainty are just a handful of the challenges the world is confronting. Global issues are no longer something that can be ignored. Isolationism is no longer an option.

But trying to protect the sanctity of a party whose sanctity is based on a political philosophy that doesn’t represent a majority of Americans isn’t an issue reserved just for Republicans, it is a systematic problem that holds true for Democrats as well.
