The U.S. must pick a side. Will she allow Beijing to hold her hostage with her debts, or will she hold to the principles she was founded on and rush to the aid and defense of Taiwan?

Likewise, will the world stand silent if Taiwan is invaded, or will they rally to save a fellow democracy from the communists?
I agree. And yes, the world will stand silent. They have shown they don't care about Jewish civilians killed at the hands of Hezbollah. They don't care about slaughtered Kurds, and Shia under Saddam. Likewise, they won't do anything to help Taiwanese civilians. They criticisize attacks on terrorist because terrorists hide behind civilians. Funny how they don't show any anger at terrorists for doing so. This is why world opinion should not matter to the USA. Do what's right, and ignore those who advocate self-destruction. European/Canadian/American leftists do not believe in opposing tyranny of any kind. If you're attacked, you're supposed to just sit and die....... lest you create more hatred against you.
