>…What are you willing to bet, Spike, that we won't have some sort of military response, just to show that we honor our commitments, however stupidly made?  But going to war over Taiwan would be the dumbest thing we ever did.  We need to find some way to just let China have it, which they say they already do  bill w

 

 

Billw, I would bet that the US would have no sort of military response, not because we don’t want to, but because we cannot.  We don’t have the resources.  The economic laws of gravity apply to the USA the same as other countries.  We don’t get a free pass just because we have capitalism.

 

I agree that we can’t go to war with China over Taiwan.  We cannot.  The fact that the results of those war games leaked, from the top, tells me, tells the USA, tells China, tells Taiwan, tells the rest of the world that the US will protest but will do nothing militarily if China grabs its opportunity.  We won’t even stop begging China to lend money.
