Should the US defend Taiwan from China?

[Toddsterpatriot]

we shouldn't interfere at all because it's none of our business and it belongs to China.

Why does it belong to China?

 

[Gabe Lackmann]

Protecting Taiwan protects America too

That line has only been used EVERY time.

 

[Mac-7]

That line has only been used EVERY time.

And its true

China does not want to only invade Taiwan, and then no more - they swear

Let's make two lists

Nations China has attacked since 1956 (CCP came to power)


Nations the US has attacked since 1956

 

[Mac-7]

Nations China has attacked since 1956 (CCP came to power)

The CCP came to power in 1949 and first on that list would be Tibet

More recently we can include all of china’s weaker neighbors bordering the South China Sea as ccp steal their territorial rights

Then the freedom loving people of Hong Kong who were betrayed by communist china

Now its Taiwan’s turn

But in their case the victim has protective spines

Are you one of those spines?

 

[Mac-7]

Are you one of those spines?

Possibly

I believe there is a broad coalition of freedom loving people willing to support Taiwan

Until that globalist, commie fuck GHW Bush gave the Chinese "most favored" trading status in 1989 and disavowed any treaties with Taiwan.

um that would be jimmy carter in 1979

The Chinese workforce cannot compare to ours by any metric

Should the U.S. get into a shooting war with China over Taiwan? I don't think so but there seems to be no other alternatives since we are dealing with a dunce in the W.H. and a bunch of socialists in the administration.

China was afraid to attack Taiwan with Trump in offfice, now, not so much.

[Concerned American]

The Chinese workforce cannot compare to ours by any metric

Forty years ago when the US still produced products, I would agree with you. The US has been working towards a total service economy since then. The majority of the US workforce can't produce anything so instead of the superior products that the US produced, we are now relegated to the quality that all other third world countries get

 

[whitehall]

Every military conflict in the bloody 20th century happened during a democrat administration. Woodie Wilson vowed he would never send American kids to fight in a foreign war and then he did. Americans liberated France and then they had to do it again about 20 years later. FDR invited a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor but with the cooperation of the fawning liberal media his oratory skills overcame criticism. Harry Truman sent Troops to Korea on an (illegal) executive order. His mismanagement resulted in anywhere from 35,000 Americans killed to a high estimate of 50,000 in three years. The media was characteristically kind to the democrat president calling Korea "the Forgotten War". Would we trust a doddering old fool who can't remember where he is half the time to preside over a shooting war with China over Taiwan? I don't think so.
