We have a defense treaty with Taiwan to defend it from attack from China. Those who call it global warming now calling it climate change now calling it climate emergency needs to realize that this is way more important than their fear-mongering because China is building for additional aircraft carriers to the one they just finished and their desire, in my opinion, is to take back Taiwan by force. I am sure there are those in Congress that are going to be against this proposal because they are being influenced by communist China. If there is a war between the US and China over Taiwan, they'll be global cooling and at least 20 years of Colder Weather due to a destroyed ozone layer and trillions of tons of soil in the air. Ocasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders will probably be regulated to a mental institution because they won't know what to do now that global warming is gone and that millions are now dying from famine. Mark my word! Don't get conned to putting trillions of dollars into the greens new bad deal. Put the money toward defense or to pay down the debt.

I have a friend, now a US citizen, who was born in Taiwan and served in their military. He and I have spoken on the subject and it's his (educated) opinion that their defense plans call for holding the line until the US can arrive (if the US arrives). Will we? That appears to depend on who occupies the White House if and when China decides to attack. Could such a war be limited to Taiwan? Well, we fought in Korea without expanding the war beyond that peninsula...

It's possible that Russia and China may become allies even if they have differences of opinion on communism just to be able to gang up on us.

LTC (Join to see) - It looks like that is coming true. I included 2 good paragraphs from a subscription service I get. : "In 2019, China is the dominant power in the relationship. China’s Gross Domestic Product is $23 trillion, measured in purchasing power parity, according to the CIA World Factbook. Russia’s GDP is $4 trillion in purchasing power parity, less than that of California or Texas. The Belt and Road Initiative has a global reach and grasp that the Soviet Union never achieved. These are two salient characteristics of the new era.
China has turned to Russia to help compensate for shortfalls resulting from the trade conflict with the US. China still needs Russia because the economies are complementary. Russia has the resources that China needs and China has the capital, trained workforce, industrial capacity and managerial experience to make both of them prosperous."

The Chicoms would have to launch an overwhelming assault that would crush Taiwan's defenses before we could intervene. I don't see any other strategy that would work.
The casualties of such an invasion would be enormous, but China doesn't care about casualties. What they need to pull this off is sealift, force protection for that sealift, and a crap-ton of airborne formations. They don't have that, but they are building it.
Those aircraft carriers are a joke and not a serious threat to our Navy, or even Taiwan's, really. Their land based missiles are not a joke, and they are building increasingly capable submarines.
Ain't no nukes flying back and forth over Taiwan, so forget that whole nuclear winter theory.
