Well your example had the Chinese sinking US capital ships and killing thousands of US servicemen. Regardless of how it started once that happens it isn't going to be just about defending long term allies against foreign aggression. And any American politician who at that point advocated walking away would immediately be branded a cowardly sellout to the enemy ChiComs and justifiably so IMO.

Maybe, cause I'd certainly nuke Peking to save Australia if I were in charge. They have been our friends, allies and comrades in arms for over a hundred years and something like six wars. We won't abandon them if I have anything to say about it.
