America is not going to save Taiwan from mainland China any more than it's going to save Ukraine from Russia.

Sorry folks, this is what it is.

I've asked this question before, I'll ask it again:
How many members of this forum are willing to sacrifice their kids or grandkids to defend Taiwan ??

C'mon, step right up and tell us, don't be afraid.

I would generally agree.  I’m not much for getting into any of these conflicts that are not ours.  No “domino effect” arguments, please.

Supporting them generally is a different thing.  Stating we‘ll die for them is another.

So I sympathize with Trump’s statement but we shouldn’t be so glib that we don’t care if China takes them.
Common sense is an uncommon virtue.
