It would be much easier for everyone in the Biden Administration to just Take the CASH and let China do what they want, Joe has probably already received the order.
Another blathering idiot writes an article.
Grammar was good.
We can encourage Israel to do the same. The other threatened nations still think Uncle Sugar will be there for them.
A war between China and Taiwan will last about 5 min. Handlers won’t even wake Sleepy Joe for that one.
Would you trust a weapon that biden sent you to defend yourself?
and to think... just 2 weeks ago the worst US and Chinese relations got was over trade deals.
thanks democrats.
lets make sure only the kids of democrats deploy to the region
China is currently salivating over the perceived weakness and acquiescence of American politics right now.
They’ll keep pushing that button until it’s worn out.
Israel knows. They’ve never been shy about taking care of business when the very real need arises.
The only arms that could stop China would be a hydrogen bomb and a missile.
[Invasion and war is the easy part. Controlling an insurgency in a hostile island, far from the mainland with a constant need of supply chains, and with a hostile population of a quarter-million armed to the teeth, would bleed Beijing dry. ]

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a bloodbath with no quarter given. The death toll would be in the millions until the insurgency submitted. When Tibetan city-dwellers revolted against Chinese invaders after Mao took power, the PLA fell back and used artillery to level the city, then waited for the starving denizens to emerge. This was the strategy that Hafez Assad was to use so successfully to quell a Sunni revolt in the city of Hama, decades later, in the 1980’s.
This stuff isn’t rocket science. Anyone with more powerful weapons can literally kill every single person in a territory being invested. The only thing stopping them is either ethical considerations or an outside force willing to intervene. Another key consideration for not holding back is keeping friendly losses, as well as monetary costs low. Indiscriminate slaughter is cheap. Prolonged pacification efforts involving a softly-softly approach while dodging enemy attacks are expensive.
Tibetans don’t like the Chinese. But their choice was to submit or die. The ones still alive today chose survival over pride. Much of the rest lie in unmarked graves.

OK, so you are in charge of America’s Taiwan strategy, what would be the better plan?
Ping!
I guess the author didn’t get the memo about President China.
Having a US President who wasn't a wholly-owned subsidiary of China, Inc.
“OK, so you are in charge of America’s Taiwan strategy, what would be the better plan?”
Lol
I would not tie BLM buffoons rioting to how we conduct foreign policy.
Hey, I appreciate every article on this topic. This person was just ludicrous.
We could send the BLM crowd to China.
The Chicoms have already paid Biden for Taiwan.
Biden is going to give Taiwan to the PRC.
I’m surprised there is no mention of the Taiwan Relations Act in which the United States promised to provide Taiwan with sufficient defense against an invasion
President Trump sold more arms to Taiwan in 3 years than Obama did in 8 years.
