The U.S never stood back from it.

China will not stand back from it. It will be a game of brinkmanship and China cannot be the one to blink and the leaders know it.

Whatever the Chinese will not risk total annihilation because of one small A island. According to you the Chinese leaders think that the destruction of mainland china is worth Taiwan.

Ok, you convince the U.S admin to put nukes on Taiwan.

Then we will see whos right.

Putting nukes in Taiwan would be enough provocation for the PRC to start the China-Taiwan war before delivery of the nukes take place. Not a good move at all.

The US military is not going to put any nukes on Taiwan because it would make us look bad to the world especially where were trying to convince Crazy Kim and the Mullahs to end their nuke programs.
However I still thin that if Taiwan had nukes China would not attack it.

If taiwan goes independant, the US has to defend them
