Ehh, instead work with the EU & UK and offer their logistics network so they can handle Ukraine, secretly provide Taiwan nuclear warheads & start a Cuban missile crisis 2 & force a real conversation.
Pacific too risky? Expand A2AD capabilities to Asian allies en masse, it's gonna all be defensive wars after all
We (Americans) should not basically have to pay for their defense
Um, please can we not bet the future of humanity on there being a Chinese equivalent of Vasili Arkhipov during the blockade of Cuban Missile Crisis 2: Chinatown.

Let's not sabre rattle again only to carefully de-escalate back to where we are.
Nah, if you don't take chances you don't get results lol, Minutemon for Taiwan 2024!!!
I didn't realize that China had put nuclear missiles so close to the US, similar to the way the US put missiles in Turkey, where are they?
Why would we be negotiating for that??? There is no point in range anymore.
Instead, we'll be negotiating for shipping rights to grade B Chinese ghost city apartments & skyscrapers to bring to the USA on the cheap!!!
They have a lessened property crisis, we have more housing for cheap that wasn't built by our evil & corrupt government lol, everyone wins!!!
Likely though we'd just end up negotiating the removal of nuclear weapons over a final arrangement for Taiwan's independence or some variation of subservience (think China's 9 points plan 1981 but with more brexit North Ireland vibes), fentanyl precursors to Mexico, and a potential final arrangement for the Korean peninsula's path to unification, boo
Dude that boo was too spooky
You AmeriKKKans will pay for everything with pleasure and gratitude, when US military is shipped in cold storage via DHL.
