Yep. Crimea was taken by Russia unopposed with barely a blip in the newspapers. It has nearly equal strategic and economic importance as Taiwan.

Well, 90% of Crimeans wanted to be Russians - I think the percentage of Taiwanese who want to be Chinese is quite a bit lower. :)

But yes - Taiwan can expect zero help from any Democrat administration. And if Trump were not President, they would get zero help from the GOP, either.

Crimea. population: 2.28 million; GDP (2016): $7 Billion

Taiwan: population: 23.78 million; GDP (2019): $1.3 Trillion

Please check your facts before making baseless claims.

Regards,

The dems figured out how to monetize the dismembering of Ukraine by Russia and they'd do the same with Taiwan. They are about power and power only. Political power and the power that comes from personal wealth. They don't care about anything else and principle is not even a consideration.
