It's what the Brits said about the Sudetenland.
And the parallel is next in line is Okinawa, Guam, Hawaii.
Also, along the way goes South Korea, Japan, and Australia.
So it's not like we don't already know how this will end.
Jesse Kelly had a great segment last night when he talked about how communists think.
He said imagine a world where there are 99 islands, with 50 having free people living on them, but the other half controlled by a communist dictator.
One by one, the islands fall to the dictator, until he owns 99, and there is only 1 island left he doesn’t rule.
But when the dictator gets up every morning, what does he think? Does he think about how successful he was in capturing those 49 islands from freedom loving people?
No, he obsesses on how he’s going to crush that 1 remaining island he doesn’t control yet.

That’s a fair point. By not acting decisively in 1938, Britain and France unwittingly allowed WW II to happen. (They never should have let Germany take the Sudetenland.)
On the other hand, Britain and France overreacted in 1914, causing WW I to happen. (They should have left Austria-Hungary alone to deal with Serbia.)
So is this Taiwan situation more like 1938, or more like 1914? I dunno. But I do know that with Biden in charge, this situation is way more precarious than it needs to be.
