Do you think the Biden Administration will come to the defense of Taiwan if it is invaded by The People's Republic of China?

We have seen is coming for the last 10 years. China is now building its 4th aircraft Carrier. In my opinion, they want to confront or spoil a counter-attack by the United States by placing 4 aircraft carriers as a screen to keep us out while Taiwan uses its 800 javelin missiles and its older M-60 A3 tanks and other weaponry to stall the people's Republic of China's forces on the beach and in the interior while we mobilize and hopefully come to their aid. If we do not, we will let Taiwan go down in history to defeat. At the end of WW2, Mainland China was Nationalist and its military was strong from US advisors training whole Chinese Nationalist Divisions in preparation to defeat the Japanese. After the war ended, The Nationalist Armies were slowly defeated by the Communists and Former General/Secretary George Marshall hated Chang Kai Shek and he did not support the Nationalists with additional arms and ammunition while Russia was giving captured Japanese weapons and ammunition to Mao Tse Tung's Army causing the Nationalists to retreat to Taiwan by 1949.
In my book, climate change is not the biggest fear but the invasion of Taiwan which will result in climate change of 20 years of global cooling if we have a limited nuclear war. National Geographic published a story 11 years ago on this exact subject discussing how the climate would be cooled by a limited nuclear war between India and China. I have been commenting for 2 years here to forget about climate change, it will come to bite us in the behind if we get into a limited nuclear war. Taiwan also bought new F-16s and as many torpedoes they could get their hands on from Foreign Military Sales.
We had a Defense Treaty with Taiwan that expired in 1980. The PRC just took back Hong Kong, I think they will be emboldened by our internal strife from the moment George Floyd died and the cities surrendered to the leftist protests/riots and now the strife from the insurrection of the fringe right group on the Capitol. The impeachment of Former POTUS Trump may be on your minds but remember that China likes our infighting. I hope President Biden sends a show of force like past Presidents have done. Remember, North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam during the tenure of the weak Ford Administration recovering from the Watergate scandal and POTUS Nixon's resignation. My Social Worker Mother spent 3 weeks at Camp Pendleton helping resettle refugees after the fall of Saigon. We do not want a President Obama Faux line in the Sand. We will also find out if Tony Bobulinksi was right. 108 Abrams M1A2 tanks are on order but it will be about 17-25 tanks a year to Taiwan. Hopefully, POTUS does not interfere with the FMS.

I am not confident about the Current Administration. With that said, the international dynamics will have to consider Japan and South Korea. The takeover of Taiwan by the Mainland will be a direct threat to them.
If there is a conflict, it will require (Mainland) China to expend resources. It will be interesting to see if this drain will be of interest to Russia.

Problem is Taiwan has a population of about 28 million. Red China has over a billion. In the long run Taiwan has no hope unless Red China collapses internally.
Should we help Taiwan? Sure.
I certainly am more confident about this President helping out. Trump is a known coward who would sell out in a heart beat.

1LT Richard Franzblau - Completely disagree about President Trump. He is, right now, saving up to 3,000,000 lives. His decisions are business-based. He has raised the living standards of women and minorities. If it were possible, he would get his face on Rushmore.

The threat to Taiwan has been constant and the weakness and lack of support by Democrats has only made it worse. China seems to get its way the last few decades when the US gives into them which is far too often. The Communist controlled government there is also a threat to the other countries that are in the Asian Continent with constant threats and acts. Its not a threat that is going away and weakness Will help it happen.

SGT Dan Theman - And who would that "traitor" be? I hope you do NOT name somebody who has raised the living standards of women and minorities. Whoever named such a person thusly just might be a traitor, himself. Jus' sayin'.

SGT Mustafa Stokely - The need to have US Treasury Bonds sold comes from overspending the US Budget. Guess who likes to do that?

Lt Col Timothy Cassidy-Curtis we can get into political debate over the next decade or six on the incompetence of who you’re referring to but history has been written, me nor you have to argue about the truth.
As a Republican and proud supporter of our military and *“POW’s”* I bid you good day

Unless the world recognizes Taiwan as an independent country, which they will not, then any actions China takes against it, as a rogue province, will be legitimate. Taiwan is technically a province of China, and any foreign interference in what amounts to be an internal matter would be met with strong political opposition at the least, and possible armed resistance from China. Can we defeat China if they decide to make a military strike, I do not know. 4 carriers, and mainland air support would be a tough nut to crack. And sinking a Carrier would escalate the conflict beyond a small local conflict, into a regional one, and forces in Japan and S. Korea would be a viable and legitimate Target for China. China does not have to "win" a conflict involving us in this, just make the price we would be paying high enough to garner opposition within our political structure, and erode our political will to continue.
History gives us a lesson to study similar to this. The Korean conflict in 1950, and what happened when Thousands of Chinese "Volunteers" came to the aid of North Korea, and where nearly successful in driving a 50 country UN backed force back into the Sea.

A1C (Verify To See) I'd have to say they really didn't " kick out ass". Even during the withdrawal from Chosen. They lost 1,000s constantly attacking U.N. forces. And when U.N. forces stabilized, in the next 2 years lost 1 to 1.5 million soldiers. The crazy thing is we never attacked China itself. Not a bomb was dropped. The dumbest thing MacArthur did was split his forces going into the chosen reservoir. His arrogance cost the US 100s of lives.i do agree with you on your opinion though. Just stretching it out more.

I would say no on most of what you wrote. During the Korea conflict, China pushed U.N. forces back to the 38th parallel not the sea or ocean. And while doing that, lost 1,000s of soldiers. China's military on paper looks formidable but they haven't fought anyone for a long long time. And when they did, they lost badly. Not only when they invaded Vietnam, but in several engagements with Soviet forces. Their training is odd too. They don't train for war like western countries do. Theirs is more " look at how scary we are" propaganda and all those giant parades they do. They do not have an nco corps. Their officers, especially in combat roles have had a hard time with initiative and doing things without constant commands from higher ups. One of the biggest issues is that there is a ton of bought ranks in the officer corp. Lying and deception still play a part. Add in they are land locked, their submarines are old diesel ex Soviet subs, their carrier aircraft have weak engines, so weak that their naval fighters can barely carry around 2 missiles to take off. And on the US? We are in the process of selling Abrams tank to Taiwan. We have sold or "donated" billions in arms to Taiwan.we will not sit on the sideline while China attacks a democratic country that is our ally. This has zero to do with whether a Democrat or Republican is president. As a country, every president. Going back to after carter, has deterred China from invading Taiwan. It won't stop now.
