Are Americans prepared to wind the clock back to 1941? Leaving theories idle, America set aside life as they knew it to defeat multiple global enemies. They sacrificed kitchen utensils to build armament, sacrificed fuel, rubber, income and most preciously our young men to feed the war machine. Everyone sacrificed to build ships airplanes and weapons. That's why it was called the greatest generation. Personally, I don't think America has the soul to do that again. We are now the 'me' generation. And selfishness may well be our downfall.

Coming full circle. When Carter recognized the PRC in 1979 and revoked the 1955 mutual defense treaty with Taiwan (effective in 1980) that led to the1980 sales of military supplies to China and negotiations to share military intelligence.

Forty years ago, the US became China's third-largest trading partner, and China became America's 14th largest.

The US is not going to do a damn thing to save Taiwan. It’s in bed with the CCP. No other country ever cared about Taiwan.
