Taiwan is more difficult to attack, but if Biden were to apply his Ukraine policy to Taiwan,it would display a weakness that China would be hard pressed not to exploit. Our enemies want to gobble up everything possible before a Trump might come to power here.

[Yes, but Taiwan is far more difficult to invade than Ukraine]


Taiwan has 300 fighter/strike aircraft. That’s 200 more than the ex-Warsaw Pact and Baltic NATO states combined. Without the help of the old NATO countries, Putin could recreate the Warsaw Pact pretty easily - all he’d have to do is keep going past Ukraine.

They don’t invade Taiwan. They surround it (embargo) until it begs for mercy. Taiwan is on empty within a week.
