The U.S. military "absolutely" could defend Taiwan from a potential Chinese attack if asked to do so, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley said Wednesday.
Speaking at the Aspen Security Forum, Milley said he did not expect China to attempt to seize the self-governing island in the next 24 months, but should it happen, U.S. forces “absolutely have the capability” to defend Taipei, “no question about that.”
He also allowed that Beijing is “clearly and unambiguously building the capability to provide those options to the national leadership if they so choose at some point in the future.”

The US Marines just got their butts kicked by the UK Royal Marines in the Mojave Desert.
The UK Royal Marines forced the US Marines into surrender.
Sad to hear this!
Would like to know more.
Milley Vanilley said the same thing of Afghanistan.
They will get stand-down orders from the "Brandon" Administration. And then rules-of-engagement that will ensure their defeat should they confront any CCP forces.
General Miley is a demonstrated traitor who should be fired - at the very least.
He Linda, with your they should have shot the 1/6 insurrectionists, you’re done and dusted.
‘Could’ is not the question. ‘WOULD’ is the question!
With XiJinBiden, the figurehead who is supposed to be in charge, I doubt that the US would.
When PDJT was in charge, the ChiComs were quiet and well behaved, other than the release of the Faustchi funded ‘gain-of-function’ CCP-Coronavirus.

“could”??
That must be very reassuring to the Taiwanese.
Hey General. If the ChiComs do make a move on us, will you let us know ahead of time?
Afghanistan somehow comes to mind.
Milley cup cakes sweety, you need to stop cross dressing in a male uniform, stop impersonating any rank of officer or NCO, and go back to Venezuela or Serbia, or whatever marxist sodomite planet you hail from.
How in the world did this guy get past grade school...?
Wow, kindergarten playground talk from a full retard reprobate CoS.
Whatever “IT” is in uniform, is going to get the entire Western Pacific trashed.
Nice pic.
“Could” is a different word than “would”.
“could” and “would” are two different things, The real question is “should”. As in SHOULD you even still have a job deciding or commenting on anything concerning bthis Country. I vote give you a rainbow/woke combo medal then fire your worthless a$$.
The U.S. military “absolutely” could defend Taiwan from a potential Chinese attack.......
What’s defending Taiwan is 100 miles of the Formosa Strait.
The logistics of the US involvement vs China’s doorstep is enough to cause a loss.
