A nuke-armed Taiwan will keep China in a position where it can only bark. I don't understand why no one else understands that.
True - but if the US supplied them, we'd provoke the Chinese in a way that Western influence could be curbed and China's SLOW but sure move toward democratization would end.
This way, Taiwan can be defended and we can sustain our growing relations with those more friendly, pro-democratic elements in the Mainland. They DO exist, and ARE going to be a major influence in the near future.
I've posted this time and again. You are da man!!!
