The imperative to defend Taiwan is a half-century old commitment; breaking it would mean repealing the Taiwan Relations Act How so? The TRA does not compel the U.S. to "defend" Taiwan in the event of an invasion. In fact it was specifically worded to avoid providing security guarantees as such. Only to provide "arms of a defensive character" and the like. So what you're saying about repealing the TRA in such a scenario is plainly incorrect. You're also clearly hyperbolizing in regard to Ukraine, but we'll leave that aside for now.
