Is this comedy? Seems like they won the “war” without firing a shot.
We should tactical nuke the Chinese wuhan bio weapons lab and tell China we don’t care if they like it or not. Then arrest and try Fauci for funding it.
By what yardstick would we threaten war for the independence of Taiwan but continue to tolerate 60 years of totalitarian repression in Cuba, 90 miles away?

Yardstick, Pat? Oh so quaint.
If you are arguing on moral grounds, then it is a holier-than-thou game, which is a loser and not worth the energy to play. Plus, its not the US making the threats, its the CCP. Labeling the US response a ‘threat’ is to obfuscate the point and change the subject - something you are good at Pat.
However, if Cuba were sunk in its entirety over night, it would be no loss to the US. Taiwan is a different matter.
Taiwan is the primary sources for the world’s most advanced computer chips in quantity - in case you missed it, there is currently a shortage due to demand: can you imagine what that shortage would look like should the CCP be in charge?
Taiwan controls the shipping lanes in the South China Sea, through which the bulk of the world’s shipping passes. Do you want to hand that over to the CCP also? Do you like looking at empty store shelves? One would think you would have tired of that sight during the early part of the CCP virus, but I guess not.
What’s an island or two between friends, right? Let them have Taiwan and they’ll want Japan; let them have those and they’ll want Australia - unless they take it before Japan. So what island would be next on their list which would not be worth going to war over? Hawaii? Then there’s California, which is a long way from DC, so would that be worth fighting for or not?
Just where do you draw the line, Pat?
Taiwan’s obituary was written on 11/4.....
China is the war mongering idiot in this argument. If anyone thinks Taiwan and Japan don’t have nukes, they are kidding themselves.
China would cease to be a country if one of our subs decided to destroy a structure so massive that it moved the tilt of the earth.
WW3 next year.
That’s too easy: 10%. (for the big-guy)

They’ve got big internal issues...
We got ourselves into this mess with incremental intolerance of injustice.
At some point, there will be a reckoning or we’ll be truly doomed.
Since nearly all of our modern day wars are proxy wars ..wonder where this war will actually be waged?
This is an open invitation to china to take all of Duerte's territory. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Like saying to a bully "If you steal my lunch money I won't try to stop you." and then complaining that the bully keeps on mugging you every day.
pat buchanan is a moron
I doubt that a war to save Taiwan would be approved by any US Congress that could be currently elected (fairly or otherwise).
