Obviously no good can come of this domestically, but since all the Generals will be there instead of doing their jobs, it would also be a window of opportunity for China to invade Taiwan.
Yeah. Unless of course it's not the 18th century and it no longer matters where a General is physically located.
It always matters, especially with the increasing importance of Electromagnetic warfare capabilities.
You know US personnel isn’t stationed on Taiwan (but pacific bases hours away like Okinawa) and there is such a thing as chain of command.
Since Japan is widely expected to enter into such a conflict, there's strong speculation that any attack on Taiwan would be preceded by a first strike against Japan and US forces there.
Highly unlikely. Neither the US or Japan are guaranteed to act in Taiwan’s favour. Especially in a borderline situation. If the CCP has strategy (and it usually does), it will push limits and borderline situations.
Yeah, that's not how war works.
Maybe tRump got TikTok in exchange for this?
And that would also be bad?
A fascist country with widespread human rights abuses invading/conquering a neighboring Democracy? Yes, very bad.
With how the "but" is placed it reads like "nothing good will come out of this but..." which looks like you might be saying it's a good thing. It was confusing to parse for me
