US 'absolutely' has ability to defend Taiwan: top Pentagon general -
China's military had made stunning technological advances in a short
time, signified by its recent globe-circling hypersonic missile test,
leaving the world poised to enter an era of increased strategic
instability.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-absolutely-has-ability-to-defend-taiwan-top-pentagon-general/ar-AAQhhjY?ocid=msedgntpIs US *willing* to take "risks and costs" of *credible* scare off?
Is the semi-formal declaration in US interests?
The general is (mostly) right but he avoids the key issue:
US could win war in Afghanistan *BUT*
US could not win war in Afghanistan at acceptable costs.
As I wrote: IMHO *SERIOUS* "assurances" require declaration of
willingness to use nukes in Taiwan defense (not against PRC
metropolises). I consider such declarations unlikely *anytime soon*.
I do despise shitty "assurances look alike".

I do despise shitty "assurances look alike".This is mostly for American consumption. Whether the Pentagon has the
ability or not, China has no room not to preclude Taiwan independence.
Anyway, according to Milley, the PRC is unlikely to invade the ROC within
two years. It was a walking back from the media portray.

This is US propaganda to boast its power again. It is for American to consumption in its daily news.
Americans like to receive daily doze of brainwashing for them. American politicians need to
Nothing can change China's determination in recovering Taiwan, which is
a province of China. Period.
Even have to fight to its bitter end in the intervention will not change China from retreating its recovery of its renegade Taiwan.
