"So what if China invades Taiwan."

I suggest you also read post #1 on the Eurasian Axis. The US becomes ever more isolated and surrounded with each new country the Eurasian Axis brings over to their side and/or conquer.

Exactly, Source.

China wants Taiwan because Taiwan would provide the US a major staging ground of operations should a war break out between China and the US or if China were to invade its neighbors. Their economic interests are secondary as we have been foolish enough to boost their economy by buying cheap products produced by slave labor.

China knows that Taiwan would be a stage of operations. If they take it and we do nothing, they'll know we have no intentions of taking them on militarily. They will then be able to run roughshod over the entire region (India included).

If we stand up to their threats and send our military to protect Taiwan, they'll know we mean business and will have to follow another strategy.

As with so much of international strategy, the issue of the sovereignty of this tiny island and our allegiance to it has potentially catastrophic and certainly historical ramifications.

We must not abandon Taiwan. And, once again, it is up to conservatives to clean up the mess of Clinton and his Leftists. They were the great 'enablers' of China's increasing threats to take Taiwan.

Your Eurasian Axis is a lunacy and does not explain then why Russia has actively armed all of China's neighbors. Squirm with that one.
