      If I was to play devil’s advocate, then I’d argue that the idea is that taiwan does not really have a choice. They’ll pay and china won’t move in.

        Republicans lately have been siding with the larger power in every fight. I’d wager a pretty penny that trump would roll over if China invaded Taiwan.

            Remember the embarrassing bromance he had with the Korean dictator just because he paid him a compliment and called him your excellency. Trump melted in his hands. Such a fragile ego.
