Ted Galen Carpenter is surely a nonspecific-food eating surrender monkey. His basic policy advice for America dealing with any foe is to run away, run away fast, and run far away. Oh, and be proud of your running abilities.
So it is no surprise (through Mad Minerva who links to The View from Taiwan's thoughts on the subject) that Carpenter again argues we should abandon Taiwan to avoid war with China. Excuse me for not linking directly to Carpenter's piece. I find his views repulsive, so you'll need to follow the links. But don't worry if you don't read it. He'll be back.
One can almost see Carpenter in top hat on some airport tarmac explaining how giving the Sudetenland to Hitler will erase all causes for war with Germany.
