Should the US Come to Taiwan's Defense if Attacked by China?

[Physics-Man]

Yes

No

Taiwan is exponentially more valuable and important to the US than Ukraine, but the US has crippled its own readiness and capabilities by spending so much of its time and resources on Ukraine, while simultaneously wrecking its own ties with crucial allies in the Pacific. Between that, the fact the current administration has been reluctant when not outright refusing to support Taiwan, and the fact our government has been thoroughly infiltrated by CCP simps and agents implies that the US won't actually get involved if push comes to shove. Given how it has handled everything for the last two years, I don't think the US government is capable of managing a serious conflict anyway, and would just weaken and humiliate itself even more while wasting tens of not hundreds of thousands of lives. China would lose even more, but a major difference is that they don't care - they will and have literally buried millions of their own people without batting an eye.

We'd just need to hit Three Gorges Dam hard... It's a legitimate target and would shut down more than half of their industrial base instantly. As collateral damage it would take out a third of their population and leave at least another third of their population preoccupied with search and rescue. They have all their eggs in one basket... It would be unwise for China to start a war.

We probably wouldn't even have to do it anyway... Taiwan has had the plan on their books for two decades... That's why they want all those medium range surface to surface missiles... If China attacks, they could easily lose everything in a heart beat.

I mean that's a tough one. Honestly I think YES, though apparently we have some bullshit treaty that says we're not allowed to hold diplomatic ties with Taiwan. I don't know if that extends to military intervention

[FunkyMonkee]

Absolutely!! But, Joe won't do that!! He'd be cutting off his meal ticket!! Killing his boss!!

[NamerOfStars]

Yes- that's the agreement we made, after all.

[Kathie93]

Hmm that is tricky because it’s not our issue and we always get involved

[LimitedBenefits101]

NOT AT ALL, why on earth should we care about taiwan? let them fight each other.

[ibodi]

No she is ugly pig and lie about taiwan's problem and she is a fake phd wanting to cover it

[HighValue]

Yes, mainly because China is our enemy and our biggest threat of a rival.

[Anonymous]

- No, that would cause WW3.

- It would be a waste of money.

- It doesn't concerns USA.

- It was a part of China anyway.

[TheSpaceGnome]

In my opinion, yes.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nope. That's their problem.
