A lack of Taiwan dependency may well avoid a world war.

I'd rather have another world war than for China to slowly but "peacefully" conquer the world.

That's how I know you imagine yourself to be on the winning side of this world war. Good luck with that. Not really, though

I do think we would win in the end, but even if we didn't, I'd rather go down fighting than graciously accept our new CCP overlords.

I might have thought so some years ago.

In an era when 1/2 of the Western world hates Western civilization, I'm not sure that it matters anymore.

Of course, in the long run, it's all just fodder for a history book. The further out you go, the less the details matter.

The US is looking more and more like ancient Rome. In 10-15 years it likely neither can win a war against China but it will also likely not have many allies on its side if it tries.

China doesn’t have many allies either. They have managed to piss of just about everyone. There are few countries in Asia that wouldn’t be happy to see China taken down a peg or a dozen - and probably wouldn’t mind discreetly giving the US a hand.
