Did Xi's Parade Flip The Script On US Defense Of Taiwan?

A lot has happened centered in China this past week, and while Washington looked on from afar - there's been reports of a monumental shift in US defense priorities under the Trump administration. There's a coming "major shift for the US and its allies on multiple continents" as the Pentagon plans to shift its priorities to the 'homeland' and Western hemisphere instead of the 'China threat.' One US insider has stated "The old, trusted U.S. promises are being questioned."

Politico reported the Friday bombshell, writing "Pentagon officials are proposing the department prioritize protecting the homeland and Western Hemisphere, a striking reversal from the military’s yearslong mandate to focus on the threat from China."
