Thanks. Would they take advantage of US distraction to move against TW? I doubt it - the US can easily fight another war on another front.

I wouldn't bet on Trump coming to the defense of Taiwan.

I wouldn't bet on trump to come to the defense of anyone but himself, and anyone who has videos of him raping children.

Fight, sure, but it wouldn't be like other recent wars.

Containing China is the primary military objective of the US at the moment (other than defending domestic territory): https://www.csis.org/analysis/2026-national-defense-strategy-numbers-radical-changes-moderate-changes-and-some#h2-priorities-homeland-defense-then-deterring-china
Their forces currently deployed to the ME are nowhere near half of what they have in total.

Maybe under another president who was competent but Trump and the New GOP have different goals from previous administrations
