Turning Taiwan into another Ukraine? After a few years, the U.S. might lose interest in Taiwan, and the Taiwanese would pay with their lives. Most Taiwanese just want to go on with their lives and maintain the status quo.
Permanently stationing US troops on Taiwan is a very different strategy from what the US did with Ukraine. It says we are willing to put our troops in harms way in the event of a Chinese attack on or invasion of Taiwan.
Getting crushed betweem super powers is a nightmare. Once the elite starts to align with one super power or the other rather than their constituents you are in for a very bad time.
