If I were President , I would give Taiwan two Nukes that could reach Beijing , what you think?

Yep, nothing happens to China for stealing patents , making illegal products and sending a virus to destroy the West's economies and killing thousands of people. Giving the freedom loving people of Taiwan nukes is the ultimate kiss my ass China statement. China is stubborn. You must break them to change them or their methods.

I would have told Trump Nukes are better than tariffs when dealing with China.

That would cause World War 3

I agree

I don't care

It would make China rethink its position

I am against it even though China sent a virus to kill US citizens which was an act of war

These could be launched or self destruct. I mean would China really want a Taiwan with fall out?

[MrKinktastic]

Taiwan would likely be put under blockade as soon as this was announced so getting them there would be a challenge without triggering a big war. It wouldn’t be a world war though as most nations wouldn’t back up the USA on this

[tartaarsaus]

It would effectively turn into the Cuban missile crisis for sure

[MrKinktastic]

Pretty similar although with Taiwan being right next to China it would be impossible to get the missiles there without ramming through the Chinese navy. If the USA backed down from the naval blockade it would be about the same though

[KrakenAttackin]

Interesting thought. During the cold war we positioned SRBM's in West Germany, Turkey, and the UK, to deter the Soviets. It worked.

Perhaps a similar strategy would help to contain the PRC.

Given that Taiwan has been working on weapons system with Israel for sometime now especially delivery vehicles it would not surprise me if the Taiwan Military already have a nuclear launch system with the 'physics packages' not attached but sitting on a shelf ready for assembly, so that they can claim they have no nuclear weapons at the moment,
If China were dumb enough to try to invade Taiwan it would lead to the gutting of the Peoples Liberation Army/ Navy, and military targets in Fujian, Jainxi, Zhejiang and Guangdong Provinces being hammered.
Unfortunately Guangdong contains the major shipping/manufacturing hubs that supply a lot of items that the west buy.

That's a dumb idea! Why not just use those two nukes on Beijing yourself? :)

No but really, my REAL answer? Just drone strike the F*CK out of the CCP. Like at 3am Beijing time, on Christmas eve or something, when they least suspect it, with no warning or anything. Like no mercy, leave no survivors, FUCK THEIR SH*T UP levels of devastation. I think enough time has passed to show no one really feels sad when drones kill innocent civilians in Afghanistan and the Middle East. So why not just use them on the CCP? And I am dead serious about this. I'd take the flak and possibly impeached if I could be the president who brought democracy to China.

You didn't put this as a poll option though ("I Have A Better Idea"), so the closest option I could vote here is C.

[dustybiker]

Where do you plan on going when this earth starts glowing?
Some people are so busy thinking if they could they don’t stop to fully think if they should.

[saffoler]

I'm against giving out nukes; even to countries like Tiawan. The only time you should be delivering a nuke to a country is by dropping it out of a B-52 as you fly over a military target during a war.

[EnglishEuropean]

This argument does have merit. If every country had nukes there would be no wars.

[EnglishEuropean]

Update: Destroying Taiwan to spite China isn't a policy any sane person would support.

[ewok737]

This would quickly turn into a situation that we could not stop.
