Ryan Wesley Routh, accused of staking out the Trump International Golf Course in Florida for 12 hours in order to assassinate former President Donald Trump, has some unique ideas about geo-political conflicts, specifically between Ukraine and Russia and China and Taiwan.
Routh suggested that the United States donate a portion of Alaska to Taiwan, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
Routh, who was chased and then arrested after being spotted with a long gun poking through the golf course fence, while Trump was playing a round of golf on Sunday, has a history of expounding on Taiwan as a vulnerable country that needs more help from the United States.
“We should encircle Taiwan with military ships and support with military might,” he wrote in a book published in 2023. “If we wait, such as we have done in Ukraine, it will be a 10 minute war and we will all be standing around like fools yet again. We may as well put Taiwan on a silver platter for China.”
Routh told an associate he had spent a month in Taiwan doing research.
“Among the solutions Routh put forth was the idea that the U.S. could help avert a war in Taiwan by donating American territory to China,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
“If China is having a shortage of land perhaps we at the United States can donate the same land mass of Taiwan from our land in Alaska,” Routh wrote in his book. “Perhaps we can give China part of Montana if Alaska is not acceptable; I would be agreeable to that.”
Routh has been identified in photographs and video by internet sleuths as being present at a rally for Kamala Harris a few days earlier.
They can have all of Bethel, and take Mary too.
Now there is a power couple for you!!
Crazier than a loon
Like the majority of TDS suffering “progressives “
Voted for Trump in ’16…
Yet has a biden/Harris bumpersticker on his truck. Also a known act blue donor and black rock commercial participant. Thanks for your useless comment.
Insanity can come on or intensify quickly………
Did you actually see his ballot or are you taking his word for that ?
How exactly do you know that?
Is it the word of an obviously mentally distrubed man?
Or is it from some facebook post, in other words, see previous line.
Or did you read it in some news article
.
Finally, what difference does that make in any way?
Psycho nut case. However he did manage to insert himself in the circles of some powerful people and was entertained by some major “media” outlets. Let’s hope we find out more, and who he runs with.
This clown sounds like a foreign policy advisor for Blinken, Miller, Kirby and the other neocon scumbags in the Biden administration. He has a child’s grasp of geopolitics. The CIA is skimming the bottom of the barrel with the likes of this cull! Not very professional.
Great idea. Give them Juneau! It’s a liability.
How about this… Alaska will be America’s Formosa, a refuge, a hide out as the Lower 48 falls to “Commie U La Tyranny Harris”
“We should encircle Taiwan with military ships and support with military might,” Routh sounds as cogent with modern warfare planning as the General Staff at the Pentagon. Their Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and currently imploding Ukraine projects went so professionally well.
“……..Their Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and currently imploding Ukraine projects went so professionally well……….”
Huh? Are you suggesting that Vlad the Invader is a Pentagon planner, or that his project is going well?
Just another lunatic Ukraine war supporter. Similar to the traitor Senator Sullivan. Make no mistake. Dan Sullivan would sell his first-born to the Military-Industrial Complex if the payday was big enough. SMH.
He is as stupid as he looks.
Not worthy of a comment.
How does a guy who claims to only make $3000 a month afford to fly to the Ukraine and DC? Inquiring minds want to know.
Or own a house on Oahu and another in North Carolina, one or both sitting vacant? The property taxes alone would eat that income.
Plenty of Democrats provide all the cash needed for their foot soldiers who are plain dumb enough to carry out their idealistic plans any where there is chaos in the world.
You can bet he was well funded with cash traveling in first class and staying in upscale luxury accommodations as long as he was doing a fine job of sowing hate as witnessed by the people who stepped up and reported his idiotic behavior.
Which by the way seemed to fall on deaf ears as they sat on their thumbs and played snooker after multiple red flags were waving.
Hopefully his fellow inmates will dole out the punishment he deserves as the DOJ will treat him as their “mental” patient who finally stepped out of bounds.
Same way the No on 2 people can afford to blanket the airwaves with ads and fill every mailbox in Alaska with numerous flyers.
Someone else is paying for it.
Can you say “CIA asset”?
It wouldn’t matter. The PRC is mega butthurt that some Chinese people are living outside of their total control. If we did a swap like that, they’d nuke the Taiwanese portion of Alaska out of sheer spite
“Perhaps we can give China part of Montana if Alaska is not acceptable;……..” I’m going to go ahead and say Alaska is not acceptable. In the remote chance you didn’t think this guy is a delusional lunatic, there ya go.
I was thinking DC or Cali…maybe even the entire west coast if they need more.
It sounds more like he wanted a portion of Alaska donated to China to save Taiwan, rather than given to Taiwan.
This nut should be locked up and never seen again.
SL, this nut has been a CIA drone for years. Go figure.
This guy belongs on Zelensky’s team of terrorists.
Why does this guy sound like a bad CIA movie?
Why does this guy sound like a bad movie?
This guy if shaved looks uncannily similar to that weird woman who wanted pieces President Trump’s wealth with a very late and tawdry claim recently. The scarf wafting gently about the neck is a wonderful style element with the swatch of blue hair and is so authenticating.
