Taiwan’s foreign minister said last week that the US and Taiwan are in talks on the possibility of the island being brought under Washington’s nuclear umbrella, a step that would make a catastrophic war between the US and China much more likely.

It depends on what form it takes. Best case, it means Taiwan is deterred from pursuing nuclear weapons with a policy of only using it as mutually assured destruction. As it stands, I’m sure Taiwan is sorely tempted to get some nukes as a deterrence measure. After all, China has millions of citizens with only 100 miles of Taiwan Strait in between them and the shores of Taiwan. That said, it does inch closer to officially recognizing the reality of Taiwan as its own self-governed country.
Hope Russia brings Cuba under its nuclear umbrella soon, can’t wait to hear what you’ll have to say about that.
That is an unfair comparison, Cuba is a sovereign state, unlike Tiwan, This would be like Russia bringing Hawaii under its nuclear umbrella.
Yeah fair

The US doesn’t want fighting to break out between Taiwan and China either. That’s just part of this narrative that’s taken hold (with much encouragement by China) of the US as just warmongers. The truth is that the US currently is trying to avert an invasion. That’s being achieved by a number of measures:
- Arm Taiwan to make it an unappealing target
- Build up ability and forces in the region so that China knows it cannot easily defeat Taiwan
- Build a network of allies
- Make it clear to Taiwan that if Taiwan tries to officially declare independence, it’s on its own, acknowledging that that is a red line for China.
Kosovo
Respond to war crimes and ethnic cleansing? NATO’s execution was off, but some “meddling” was needed.
Ukraine
God forbid the US and Europe respond to an invasion of conquest on their front door.

US is literally the only reason any fighting could ever break out between the secessionist government in Taiwan that US is cultivating and the rest of China. There literally wouldn’t be a problem if not for your despotic regime.

This is the claim that NATO based the intervention on and it has been disproven. Stop spreading misinformation.

Imagine genuinely believing that.

Save that word for when it’s accurate. You’re using it so much that it becomes threadbare for when the real fascists pop up. Don’t cry wolf.
Ukraine and Taiwan with US puppet regimes are on Russia’s and China’s footsteps respectively.
There are other NATO countries on Russia’s border. They have not invaded Russia. Ukraine only very recently started supporting anti-regime elements, and even that is highly limited compared to Russia’s invasion and extensive bombing of Ukraine.
As for Taiwan, regardless of what fantasy world Taiwan’s constitution lives in, ROC has no chance of returning to rule over China. They are no threat.
God forbid Russia respond to an hostile takeovers of countries on their front door.
Bruh, NATO country was attacked just one time, and that one time NATO didn’t get involved even. It’s purely aggressive alliance.
