What would be the choice: Defend Taiwan (give up Chinese products and Tik-Tok, etc. that fund China) or Surrender Taiwan (to keep Tik-Tok and an uninterrupted supply of cheap Chinese products)?
And it was in one of my news summaries weeks ago.
Ukraine is the practice session for the main event.

They should be known as the Finger Brigade because that’s what they’re doing. I hope they survive captivity.
Biden could give a Schiff if there are American troops on Taiwan if China invades. Look at his disregard for the troops killed at the Kabul gates when he surrendered in Afghanistan, or the American hostages currently being held by Hamas. Heck, he’s building a pier in order to feed Hamas. He’s even using a Hamas-linked contractor to BUILD THE PIER!
If only we had followed George Washington about staying out of foreign entanglements.
Ukraine, Taiwan and others are not worth all of us dying in a nuclear and EMP war.
Kinmen is obviously not defensible, but Taiwan itself absolutely is.
.
If we abandon our allies and let China and Russia dominate Asia and Europe respectively, our chances of dying in a nuclear war go up not down.
The inferiority of the human race means you are probably right.
I really don’t want a long, suffering death from the after effects of nuclear and EMP war for your reasons or from mine.
Thanks for posting the actual source.
So 70 years of “strategic ambiguity” is out the window.
Taiwanese should be prepared to be Ukrainized.
All their elites have US and Japanese passports anyway.
I think most Americans would be surprised to find out that Kinmen County is Taiwanese, but just 3 miles off the mainland Chinese coast. You’ll note Google Maps goes out of it’s way to not identify it or any township as Taiwanese. 3 miles west is clearly labeled as China at every location.

Needless to say the Chinses Airforce violates the airspace almost daily as a “F.U., what are you going to do about it?”
I sure hope those stories about UFOs (UAPs) are true and that the aliens have given us highly advanced weaponry to fight three wars at the same time.
I miss President Trump and the days of peace.
Things change, countries can tell combat forces with cannon to load up and then deliver them across the world in 18 hours, and at the same time have submarines, and Aircraft carriers following them, while home based missiles are landing on the enemy’s military bases and ports.
Benjamin Franklin 1784
“And where is the Prince who can afford so to cover his Country with Troops for its Defense, as that Ten Thousand Men descending from the Clouds, might not in many Places do an infinite deal of Mischief, before a Force could be brought together to repel them?”
And we lost the practice session, but the delusions continue.
The military industrial complex is going to get their war before Trump has a chance to spoil it.
By the way, what usually happens in an election during wartime?
Russia and China are both suffering demographic collapse so it will be very difficult for them to hold on to what they got let alone expand.
The Chinese are extremely racist and would not want to takeover countries with non-Han people in them like the Philippines, Vietnam, etc. They would just make them a part of their economic sphere, just like the US has included Canada and Mexico into our economic sphere.
If we can prevent a massive nuclear war over the next ten to twenty years, then I think we'll be safe for quite a while as the world becomes divided into three or four economic regions that fight using tariffs and import/export regulations rather than bombs and bullets.
