[Wise Opinion] - USA should choose NOT to fight a war with China even if they invade Taiwan

[UltimaOnline]

War with China is neither inevitable nor necessary, but actions and policies currently being pursued in both Beijing and Washington are mindlessly drifting towards a war.

Others argue we must fight, even if we don’t want to, because the catastrophic cost to the global economy if China attacks (especially in terms of semiconductors) would devastate the U.S. economy. What those advocates fail to recognize, however, is that the impact to the world economy is already inevitable when the first Chinese missile strikes the island or the first Chinese soldier invades. From that point forward, there will be no changing the harmful economic impact. What we must avoid at all costs, however, is deeply compounding that cost to America by also choosing to engage in a war that would cripple our Air Force and Navy.

By refusing to be drawn into a war with China in an otherwise horrible situation, the United States would have an enormous power advantage over China. The American military would still be unharmed and at full strength, while the People’s Liberation Army would be severely degraded by any attempt to penetrate Taiwan’s mighty defenses. It could take China more than a decade to recover from its losses. We would have the unchallenged upper hand, both regionally as well as globally. Our national security would remain fully within our ability to guarantee.

Choosing to allow righteous anger to drive our response — which many Americans would understandably feel if China attacked Taiwan — could plunge us into a war that would, in the best case, severely diminish our ability to defend our country. In the worst case, it could lead to a nuclear exchange in which entire American cities could be wiped out.

As much as we would hate to see China capture Taiwan, nothing on that island is worth risking America’s entire national security.

Don't worry about it, The Hill is infested with CCP porlumpars i.e. the Kissinger fanboys.

Continue to tighten the screw and let China's economy implode. And keep a watch on what Winnie does when its KMT puppets lose the Taiwan election.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

If Taiwan is lost to the Chicons. The whole world will be conquered by chicons as they have full access to the sea. By not defeating the chicons now...it gives the chicons the chance to conquer everything...

 

[orh mee suah]

The Yanks pulled out of Taiwan in 1979 in recognition of the one-China policy.
They will send arms instead of boots on the ground, in the event that the PLA has to reunite Taiwan by force.
Let's hope that the Taiwanese are not so dumb like the Ukrainians.

IMO, US must not only fight but seize the opportunity to take over Beijing and remove the CCP regime, after that create a new ROC.

If China were to take over Taiwan, the whole of Asia will eventually be dictated by China. They will have the full control of all the sea and trade lanes in stretching from East Asia to the South East Asia. It will then be the hegemony of China in this region. This must never be allowed into the hands of the CCP.

But of course, those CCP lapdogs like @tanwahtiu and @LordElrond will be fully embraced for such an ambition and achievement by their CCP masters.
