They would help them sink Chinas ships and eliminate any soldier or equipment they put on or fly over those islands. Would the US invade China No, Would China attack the US first or invade No.I wonder what would be the effect if china was to invade Taiwan. Hell i wonder how far the U.S will act in this situation if china invades Taiwan.
Yes, but I dont understand why you think they couldnt if they can fight both Russia and China at the same time.Well, he's just confirming what has been long-standing US policy, but in doing so, he has escalated tensions with China.
We can't support a war in Ukraine and a war in Taiwan at the same time. I'm honestly somewhat surprised China hasn't taken advantage of the earthquake and invaded under the guise of "humanitarian support."
