- wheelerof4te 4y agoUnless you're going to give them a nuclear weapon, your "help" will just bring them closer to real war with China. Which they couldn't really hope to win. In short, the US is just trying to instigate conflict, a thing US does best.
- stale2002 4y agoActually giving them weapons allows them to more effectively defend themselves. It's not like Taiwan is going to do a first strike against the mainland, or invade the mainland. Weapons would only be needed in the case of an invasion from China. And if that happens, then they will want as many weapons as they can get. It's not like they are turning down the weapons. They are accepting the military aid, because they want to have methods of defending themselves.
