“The US is not going to fight a takeover of Taiwan.”
If China makes a move on Taiwan they will preemptively strike US forces in the region.
And it’ll be full on. Katy bar the door.
It will be the fastest, lightning war the world has ever witnessed. Nobody will know their full losses for a week.
Taiwan has no domestic oil.
Oil moves food to shelves.
Bomb the oil import ports. No invasion. Just prevent oil that way, not via blockade. The US can’t send them oil if there is nowhere to offload it.
Nothing compels surrender like starvation. Taiwan will surrender.
