The Chinese will certainly invade sooner than later now that the US has 2 allies that need help, Sorry Taiwan you’re on your own.

That makes me shudder.

Does this mean we are in a two-rear war since we are only supporting our allies?

Yep. Taffy-man.

WWIII started the day Putin invaded Ukraine. It just hasn’t been formally recognized yet.

Face it — the U.S. is not wanted in Asia by almost all countries there, except Israel and South Korea and Taiwan, soon enough to overrun by their huge neighbors.

Don’t be happy, worry.

China has major problems of their own. You might argue that some of those problems might lead to an invasion of Taiwan, but it’s no certainty. Plus, an amphibious invasion is a very difficult thing to accomplish (I have read). Does the potential “advantage” of a reunited China outweigh all of the real negatives for Xi?

Ever the optimist,eh, Jeff?

When the world sees how weak Biden is, does anyone wonder why war is breaking out all over.

There’s some truth in this, however, aside from standing up to the aggressors, anybody got an answer as to what else we could do. It seems to me that the isolationism, America first approach would only speed up the dissent into chaos.

There’s no guarantee that would happen. War would cut into China’s younger population, and they can ill afford that at present.

No. The U.S. has the largest military in the world. We spend more on the military than the next 11 countries COMBINED.

China is our 3rd largest trading partner. We’re their second. If we could avoid WWIII with the USSR for all those years, I doubt seriously we’ll fall into it with China. It’s no one’s interest, and they’re not a rogue actor (like North Korea).

Yes, we need to be diligent regarding Taiwan to prevent opportunism by China, but as long as we do that, they’ll not launch a war they would lose horribly. And quickly.
