Are you saying the United States is planning to conduct an imminent war, by ourselves, on China on behalf of Taiwan?
Isn't the UN supposed to help out with those issues, like Ukraine?
If China shoots first, it won't be USA alone. Philippines, Japan, Korea, and Australia will rally because they'd be most concerned about an expansionist China fucking up their side of the world.
But USA's Navy and Marines would be expected to put in some degree of work for sure.
UN isn't a military alliance. So no. NATO is Atlantic-focused, so they're not the right group either.
I guess I don't see why the United States needs to be the world police with our military. We have tried this before and it's not gone well.
This isn't a world policeman be the good guy situation though. This is a simple 'our economy won't work without Taiwan so we probably want to protect them'.
