Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, on a visit to Taiwan Saturday said an isolationist policy isn’t “healthy” and called on the Republican Party to stand with her country’s allies, while still putting in good words for the party’s nominee, Donald Trump.
Haley, who ran against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, told reporters in the capital, Taipei, that supporting U.S. allies, including Ukraine and Israel, is vital, and she underscored the importance of Taiwan — which Beijing claims as its territory, to be brought under control by force if necessary.
“I don’t think the isolationist approach is healthy. I think America can never sit in a bubble and think that we won’t be affected,” she said.
This is just sad. It’s like a victim of dv who quickly corrects themselves when they say something their abuser doesn’t like.
How to endorse Harris without endorsing Harris…?
I have as much faith in Nikki “doing the right thing” as I do Melania. They’ve bent the knee and kissed the
ringmushroom micropenis, and made it very clear who they are. We should listen.
She might be half right.

Bet she chews Tylenol like tic-tacs from the constant whip-lash she’s got flip flopin like this
Oh, you silly dog killer…
You’re thinking of Kristi Noem.
You’re right. I can’t keep them all straight unless they reach a sort of super-star level like DeSantis, MTG, and the orange man.
Why is she “visiting Taiwan” as if she’s some important diplomat? She is not currently… anything?
Because if you’re a Republican, you can violate the Logan Act with impunity.
-
I don’t think she thought she was negotiating anything.
-
If John Sparkman, George McGovern, and John Kerry didn’t get indicted for violating it, I think it’s just unenforceable law for anyone.

At one point, I actually respected Haley for running against Trump and calling out his constant crap. But she has zero spine. She’s turned out to be just another maga supporter defending him at every turn.

She’s a creature of the GOP donor class
She’s fishing for a spot in his administration, even though his chances of winning are going down. She could have taken a stand and joined the never trumpers, but that would require patience she lacks because as long as he’s alive trump owns the Republican party lock, stock and barrel. It will be interesting to see what happens to it when trump finally croaks.
My bet is on it fracturing. Cults of personality usually don’t survive the death of their leader, and that’s exactly what Trump’s diehard supporters are - Flavor-Aid drinking cultists.

If she had taken a real stand against Trump, she may even have been considered for a spot in a Harris administration to add balance.
Democrats really will throw a career progressive under the bus to clear space for a turncoat Republican.
Right? I’d give Adam Kinsliger a spot somewhere. He’s got a spine and he’s not a fucking traitor.
Is that surprising to you? Anyone left in the Republican party cares more about money and power than principles or whatever else you think a politician is supposed to care about.
Not surprised. Just sad to see that she actually turned out to be just like the others. Wouldn’t have voted for her either way, but still.
whatever else you think a politician is supposed to care about.
Technically, that’s the republic. Currently it’s the unheard and unseen masses of staffers and wonks and bureaucrats who hold this mess together. The fancy poster boy people are just there to rally the common folk around a single figure.
Haley trying the Lindsey Graham approach to making her convictions as solid as water and just saying whatever is expedient for the moment.
… And oh look at that, both from SC.
Both Susan Rice and Samantha Power make her foreign policy experience look like a joke.
The cognitive dissonance is real. How this silly twit can say “isolationism is bad” and “Trump good” in the same breath is truly astounding.
Trump worked toward isolationism like nobody in the last century and if he gets in again, Project 2025 puppetmasters will take that up by an order of magnitude as they create a new Sharia law environment and distance the rest of the world even further.

Trump isn’t isolationist, he just endorses a different distribution of geopolitical allies than Biden and the Democrats.
Stop fighting Russia, start fighting China.

Do you even know what Sharia Law is?
The biggest problem Americans have about Sharia Law are the prohibitions on ushery.
It was a dig at the same people calling for “Christian law” that would vehemently decry “Islamic law”, you donkey.

I’m sure you’re totally right and I meant that as islamophobia and not a shot at Christians.
After all, you’re always right about what you think other people think, right?
Piss off. I despise the misogyny and human rights abuses of both religions equally.

Don’t worry, the little tyke will tire himself out soon.
You keep going, Chief. We’ll just be over here when you’re done and we’ll find you a nice corner to sleep in until we’re ready to leave the party.

Why is she still here?
She’s 52, could easily set herself up for 2028
🤣 Republican mouthbreathers are never voting for a colored woman. She’s a traitor and a piece of shit.
While I agree with you, the party has some hard reckoning coming up when Trumps gone. No one can fill his shoes. They’re going to have to pivot somewhere
Because she makes headlines.
I can think of a simple fix for that.
What?
Don’t write stories about her
She’s auditioning for a cush lobbying/consulting job when Donny pops his top
It’s a threat. In the same way it’s bad for your knees to not play ball with the mob.
Well that’s… that’s just weird
It’s Cold War politics.
My enemy of my enemy must be my friend. So be a team player and get with the program.
Oh, shut the up, Nimarata “Nikki” Randhawa Haley. You don’t give two shits about America being isolationist or not. You only want Taiwan to stay independent because of its tech. If it was just any other island nation in the Pacific, you’d let China take it and not bat an eye.
You back a party that would turn on you and JD Vance’s wife, given a chance. They don’t care about you. They like white, seemingly Christian men. They would sooner suck Trump’s dick then shake the hand of Indian woman like yourself.
I wonder how much she got for her spine?
