China remains a threat to Taiwan - Trump is trying to prepare but the disloyal democrats are not cooperating

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That is only de jure, not de facto.

We treat them as another country, we just don't call them that.

Excellent point!

China will move on Taiwan by Midsommar

I used to think we had a window of opportunity, now it seems it's the Chinese who have one.

 

[JoeB131]

We have defense agreements with Taiwan to help them repel any attack from the PRC.

How can we have a defense agreement with a country we don't recognize?

Only to avoid a war with china they have not declared independence

Otherwise the Taiwanese people have freely rejected union with communist china at the ballot box for many years

Except they really haven't.

Just plain stupid!

YOUR specialty!

**** Taiwan. Basterds never did anything for us.

You mean other than making our computer chips?

Clearly you hate them because they rejected communism and won’t bow down to Xi, who you adore no doubt.

You are welcome to go fight China for a Chinese Island that has never done anything for us.

They are armed up enough to fight for themselves , we have fights on the Western Hemisphere to attend to

Some idiotic COld War relic is "real" to you?

We'd get our teeth kicked in for absolutely nothing.

China is gonna chew on Taiwan but will never move on Japan

They have no ability to actually sustain an amphibious invasion of the Island, much less conquer the whole thing.

Wow, I can always tell when you've lost an argument when you resort to name-calling.

Someone needs to question that law. We are going to lose men, ships and planes because the Chinese can't agree among themselves what kind of government they should have.

No, it's just my response to the same tired bullshit you keep pushing over and over.

I always love it when dipshits like you show your true colors and support authoritarian governments against US interests.

"Former Republican"

LOL

Again, what do you base that on?

All they need to do is take one port, and then they can unload whatever they need with commercial shipping. They can easily sustain air and sea supremecy given their proximity to the Island.

LOL, how would they maintain air and sea supremacy?

Most of their military hardware is better than 20 years ago but still decades behind the west.

I'm sorry, what's the American Interest here? "Let's protect this island that has destroyed thousands of American Manufacturing jobs"

Most of the wars we've gotten into in my lifetime is because we've been so arrogant to believe we know what's best for other countries - Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.

Their frontline bomber was designed in the 1950s, built in the 70s by Russia and has few if any upgrades. Excellent post!

Your PC wouldn't be running without the chips they manufacture. Google TSMC for me.
