China Will Test America on Taiwan. What Will Joe Biden Do?

By
Brent Sadler

 
 

Chinese military activity around Taiwan has risen to unprecedented levels over the last few months. Chinese warplanes have breached Taiwan’s air defense zone more than 150 times in just this last week.

Given the stakes, and rather ambiguous assurances from the U.S. regarding Taiwan’s security, what happens when Beijing tries to test U.S. resolve?

The current Taiwan Relations Act does not provide any guarantee or assurance of a U.S. military response should China attack.  But the 1979 Act does stipulate that the U.S. will provide Taiwan with arms to defend itself and that Washington will maintain the military capacity to compel a peaceful resolution between China and Taiwan.

Deterring China from starting a war over Taiwan is what matters most, and that only works as long as the military balance remains unfavorable to China.

Joe will do whatever he wants; he has listened to anyone but his puppeteers.

He could also hide out in his basement.   One thing for sure, when he his approached for questions, he'll turn his back like he always does.

Show his belly. Beg for treats.

[Kamaji]

Fold.  Roll over and beg like a baby.

Russia's seizure of Georgian and Ukranian territory gives China a blue print to work from.

Rather than naked aggression, China would probably subvert Taiwan politics so Taiwain would actually request Chinese assistance in reponse to a natural disaster or false flag aggression or supression.

Go to Delaware and wait it out.

OK, Briefers, got a question for ya...

How many of you are willing to sacrifice your sons (and daughters) or grandsons and granddaughters to die for Taiwanese independence?

C'mon, step right up, I want to hear your answer.

How many of you might be willing to sacrifice YOUR OWN lives?
For if the United States was to go to all-out war with China over Taiwan, it would be only a matter of time until it "went nuclear".

What say you?

Only fair that I give my own answer:
Not worth it.
This is why NO president of ANY party is gonna be foolish enough to do this.

Taiwan ain't Kuwait.
China ain't Iraq.

Was Vietnam worth it?  Was Korea worth it?  Was WWII worth it?  Was Afghanistan worth it??  (I am in no way making light of any of the wars and I absolutely appreciate and respect all those who fought for my freedom).

Taiwan is a democracy.

Following the passage of the Taiwan Travel Act by the U.S. Congress on March 16, 2018, relations between the United States and Taiwan have since maneuvered to an official and high-level basis. Both sides have since signed a consular agreement formalizing their existent consular relations on September 13, 2019.

The U.S. has been involved in a lot of wars @Fishrrman

I'd like to see the US bleed China by proxy, like they did to us in the 60s. Besides, we've got alot of defense contractors who are plenty butthurt by the end of the WOT and can use another customer. Tactical nukes fetch a handsome price - help the ol' economy in the bargain.

Perhaps we can get India, Vietnam and the Philippines on board too.

[rustynail]

We should nuke Taiwan and be done with it.
