Suppose the 2024 election controls cheating enough to allow Trump to be sworn in in Jan 2025. It takes time to rebuild our energy sector and military. It still takes fossil fuel to power our surface fleets. Our nuclear subs might save Taiwan but I am not certain.
It will take more than our subs > IMO.
I’m not fully convinced we should come to Taiwan’s rescue.
We do have some sort of agreement with them from years back,
but we haven’t really addressed them as Taiwan in
international circles, so I’m kind of iffy on this.
I do not like the idea of China taking it over though.
Didn’t like China getting its mittens on Hong Kong either.
