Israel’s nuke capability was outed decades ago.
Israel and Taiwan are not comparable on the greater world stage.
Israel and the Jewish people are and have been despised for millennia. Taiwan is only despised by Communist China.
Any invasion would have to be by air, since a majority of the coast is too difficult for any amphib landing.
South China hot zone - bump for later....
You can bet China’s sleeper special forces would already be on the inside before the outbreak.
Is it worth risking a grinding war - and a possible nuclear exchange - for Is it worth risking a grinding war - and a possible nuclear exchange - for some far-away island? ?First of all Barack, we made a commitment to defend/assist them. I don't think Trump will let them down.
2nd of all it's not just "some far-away island". It would be the beginning of more if it's not stopped there.
they wont have subs either
Newspapers in 1978 published joint development of the bomb by four Western allied nations denied membership in the UNITED NATIONS. Those four were S.Africa, South Korea, Israel and Taiwan. There were explosions off S Africa....
Do a little study on the Demographics of China and the South China Sea trade routes....then you’ll understand why it’s significant to us.
Just like their virus?
Surely they’re all obeying the island’s harsh gun control laws.

Ah, a personal insult. Thats too bad. Because I would have liked to continue this conversion. But I do not like to trade insults, even when I think a person is wrong. It doesnt add anything to the topic. And its childish.
So Ill pass on saying anything more. Have a nice evening.
Thank you. I had never read anything like that anywhere. Then again, in 1978 I was a young teen far more interested in girls, my GPA, and playing sports than reading about such things as this.

No doubt about it. It is a very significant area. I suppose I wasnt clear enough. Because thats not my point. My point is that would a soft (Democrat) president risk a major war to defend that region?
A JFK-type president probably would. But eventually we will get an Elizabeth Warren-type President. Would such a president be as willing?
Nope, they wont.
They would be pining for those halcyon days of the Cultural Revolution.
Taiwan was Formosa which was Nationalist China and was recognized as the Legitimate China until the sage Jimmy Carter stabbed them in the back and recognized Communist China as the one China. Each one of our Service Members that the Communist Chinese killed in Korea brought to Carter’s and the Democrat’s hearts.
Chinese ‘leaders’ want to expand their hellhole because they feel the need to make MORE people miserable.
Jerks.
Ever hear of people trying to break into China? Only the thugs at the top live well there.

China wants a war because they think if they expand their thuggy totalitarian hellhole that their frightened slaves (citizens) will be happy.
Control freak psychopaths run China...
Wooo Hooo! Another war! Thats right! Yeah! Just what we need.
Damn I hate the idea of another war, maybe we can just kiss the Chinese ass or maybe better yet we can start to strangle them economically, what option are you set on?
Control Freaks have run this world for Millenia. This is what has set the USA apart for all these years. Our Constitution which puts the power in the hands of We The People is what has set our country apart from all the rest.
But, we have a great many people in this country that despise our Constitution that empowers the people and limits the government.
Those people want to Fundamentally Transform our country to a central control government which has been the norm throughout history, whether kings/queens or dictators, so that we become subjects and not free peoples.
