Nobody stepped forward when the Chinese steamrollered Hong Kong. Nobody is stepping forward as they continue to facilitate the travesty that is North Korea. Nobody is stepping forward knowing they're running concentration camps. You expect the US to jump at China for the sake of a small island? We did nothing to stop the annexation of the Crimean peninsula, BTW. I could imagine US intervention if one of two things happened - 1) Japan dove in head first to protect (seize) the island, and the US dove in after to support Japan; 2) the developed nations saw a play where they could carve up mainland China for themselves, or at least topple the CCP. Either of those scenarios are such high-cost roads for the US to travel down, especially when faith in our leadership is at an all-time low (at least in my lifetime). It's hard to watch these idiots attempt to talk with authority when you know they're incompetent pretentious assholes, trying and failing to gaslight the public. Would you want your kids going overseas to war with China under present leadership of the US military? Would you have any confidence that such a campaign would be executed well? Sorry, that was the outside voice. Just frustrating to have been watching this disintegration for most of my lifetime.
