We've had one, yes, but what about second proxy war?
I mean, China can just mind their own business, leave them alone, and then there doesn't have to be a war. How nice that would be.
Well even though I do not ever want to see war between Taiwan and China, I believe that if there ever were one, the war would not be a proxy war but a war where Taiwanese are fighting for their own.
Taiwan only exists because it served, and continues to serve, US interests as a staging point for military operations against China. A war over Taiwan would absolutely see the US using Taiwan as a proxy, much as they are currently using Ukraine against Russia.
Fair enough.
