The US's position is more complex. You're trying to dumb it down to mislead. (You might want to look up defacto if you don't think they have defacto independence from the PRC)
If the people of Florida want Russian-backed independence, as the people of Taiwan want US-backed independence then sure, go for it, my friend.
- yogthos 4y agoUS position is frankly irrelevant. What matters is the international law, the UN position, and the fact that US acknowledges the UN as an institution. US has no unilateral right to interfere in affairs of other countries any more than other countries. >If the people of Florida want Russian-backed independence, as the people of Taiwan want US-backed independence then sure, go for it, my friend. Do you believe even for a second that US would allow China or Russia to do in Florida what US is doing in Taiwan? Some of us are old enough to remember the Russiagate freakout.
- tarkin2 4y agoWhen the US supplies weapons then the US's position is far from irrelevant. The US, in line with most other countries, doesn't recognise Taiwanese independence. It also doesn't recognise China's sovereignty. You say the US has no right to interfere with others business. If you see that someone wants protection and is vulnerable so you have no right to interfere? If you see someone being killed by a neighbour do you have no right to interfere? Of course, it could be a lie: that the Taiwanese people want to desolve the status quo and give the PRC complete control. Have you bothered to find out what the Tiawanese people want? Or has your sychophantic slavery to the PRC ruled that out?
