What means “at any cost”?

Do they really want to know whether Trump will fight back?

Chin has 1 halfassed Aircraft carrier.

Short of going nuclear do they really think they can take on the US Navy? Under Trump?

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.

If any country needs nuclear weapons it is Taiwan China could counter nuke but then whatever was left would not be worth taking.

Hahahaha, even going nuclear, they couldn’t beat us. These turd-world punks couldn’t put a dent in American military might, though I’d love to see them try!

Hmm.

War with China.

The bad side...
War with China.

The good side...
We can finally stop importing cheap Chinese garbage for everything we use.

Trying would probably cost us at least a carrier and a whole bunch of people. I am confident we would win, but it would not be “pretty” on either side.

I would prefer they not try.

I just wonder if this saber rattling is just a saving face exercise to mask the upcoming win Trump will get against China in their trade negotiations?

China has been “warning” the US about Taiwan for decades.

No, I don't want to see them try. But it's their decision, not ours, imo. It's completely up to them.

Any general uttering the words, ‘At any cost’ should be subject to dismissal.

It really boils down to this: Do we want to surrender half of the world’s navigable waters to the world’s tyrants? I don’t want to fight that fight, but if you have to do it, you have to do it, and should welcome it, particularly when you have such a lopsided advantage.
