> In October, the Trump administration approved Taipei’s request to buy 400 Harpoon anti-ship missiles and associated launchers, transporters and radar systems that will boost the island’s defenses against naval and amphibious attack. In the same month, it approved the sale of 135 advanced, air-launched cruise missiles for Taiwan’s air force.
I know all the history and ROC is not blameless, but at this point Taiwan is its own country and it's shameful that most of the world does not recognize as such due to fear of China.
True. Why would China wait until 2024 and have to hope their interference tactics will work again with another virus?
McCarthur had it right that nukes were the only option to end the conflict in Korea once China began to attack us there, but that we were spread too thin to be able to hold her if we neutralized her that way (so instead we pacified her).
I’m afraid the only option with Taiwan now is to evacuate it as the new Administration will have no appetite for the kind of military action needed to save it. America has plenty of land for them, though not all of it is an island paradise. Start the evacuation with the 3-6nm fabrication plants please!

In a matter of months, Taiwan might go down like Crimea.
