But the Taiwan thing is after "The Flying Tigers" or "AVG" (The American Volunteer Group) had finished helping Ch'aing Kai Sheck [sic] fight the Jap's, he/they were confronted by Mao and the commies. They managed to retreat to Taiwan and we swore that we would always be there!!
Are you saying that America should turn Her back on a friend?
I hope not, we are what we say we are, unless we're lying!!
I say stand tall for Taiwan!!
Absolutely. A nation cannot be constrained by such niceties in pursuing its interest. The same kind of morality that exists between individuals cannot be applied to the relations between nation-states. That's classical realism, and the conservative approach to international relations and statecraft. Going to war with China is unneccessary, and maybe even a bad idea for us. Taiwanese aren't Americans, they're not worth the blood and treasure of America. Defend America, not the world!
