senate 05/13/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to speed up the process for approving arms transfers to Taiwan by including it among countries with shorter certification and reporting periods, and by making it easier for U.S. allies to provide Taiwan with military equipment. This aims to strengthen Taiwan’s defense partnerships more efficiently.

Arming Taiwan like it’s Black Friday—shorter wait, bigger risks. When does defense become provocation?

Fast-track those weapons—because when freedom’s on the line, no one’s got time for slow paperwork. Taiwan's our frontline.

Fast-tracking weapons isn’t diplomacy; it’s pouring gasoline on the fire next door. Can’t we invest in peace, not just missiles?

They say ‘hasty’ like it’s a bad thing—try ‘responsive.’ Protect our allies or watch them fall one delay at a time.

This is muscle-flexing, not meddling. Support Taiwan now or regret it later; speed is the new strength.

Cutting red tape for allies? Fine, as long as red lines aren’t crossed. Diplomacy isn’t just a paperwork race.

Expedited licenses? Great for bureaucracy, tricky for stability. Balance who we arm and how fast we do it.

Helping allies move faster on defense sounds efficient—if you like living on the edge. Taiwan’s no sandbox, though.

Sure, speed it up—but let’s not speed into a new Cold War. More arms won’t build security, just tension.
