Wrong. Taiwan is internationally recognized as being part of China. Heretofore the United States has had an official policy of 'strategic ambiguity' - play both sides. Pretend Taiwan is part of China when convenient and then pretend Taiwan is its own sovereign entity when convenient. You can thank Kissinger for that cowardly policy.
Taiwan is not the Ukraine.
For better or worse, I'll give Biden credit for picking a side, though I personally think he picked the wrong side.
No. Let's call spades, spades. The Unite States is declaring war on China, not the other way around. Our policy with Taiwan is as stupid as if the EU recognized the Confederacy as not belonging to the United States.
Once again the United States seeks war - and this coming from a U.S. Marine.
Once again the United States will compromise its principles in its pursuit of war. Winston Churchill is credited with the quote, and I'm paraphrasing, "the United States can be relied upon to do the right thing, once it has exhausted all other possibilities."
Here we go again, exhausting all those other possibilities.
