Could the US defend Taiwan in it’s current naval state?
“Could the US defend Taiwan in it’s current naval state?”
Of course, because the US Military is INVINCIBLE!!!!
Otherwise we would have taken China’s huge military buildup seriously, instead of cutting our military in HALF during the same time period.
But don’t worry, the Tweepers here will tell us the same thing that the Zeepers (likely the same accounts) told us about Ukraine during the summer of 2023, which was that Ukraine, equipped with the best Western WonderWeapons, will cut through the Russian military like a knife through soft butter (during their ‘Greatest Counter Offensive’). In the case a China, a few bombing runs from one of our carriers (before China sinks it with their hypersonics, by they way) will bring China to its knees.

Yes, because the Chinese Military is a hollow joke, except when it comes to parades and stiring videos.

The TRUTH is we abandoned Taiwan under Richard Nixon. At a minimum, we haven’t seriously been committed to protecting it since the Reagan era.
My Dad was stationed there when I was a kid. I support Taiwan but almost no American would risk nuclear war over it. And we don’t have the resources any more. We couldn’t protect it if we tried!
