We pressure Australia to stop shipping them coal and wait for them to come to the negotiating table. It's this simple, why hasn't the Biden admin taken this measure?

The Taiwan controversy was only a continuation of the Chinese Civil War (1946-1949). Most democracies sympathize with Taiwan simply out of values. I think if the U.S. military forces in the Asia-Pacific region are not directly involved in the war in Taiwan. Taiwan will be completely occupied by the PLA within a week. And the thinking of most Taiwanese is extremely naïve. They know almost nothing about military affairs. Because Taiwanese army is not at all an equal in magnitude opponent of the PLA. Taiwan is not Ukraine. Taiwan is an island. If the PLA begins to attack Taiwan, it will definitely set up a no-fly zone and a no-voyage zone. And dispatch all naval and air forces to guard the perimeter. This means that U.S and Japanese transport aircraft and transport ships cannot come close to the island. It is impossible to give Taiwan more weapons and equipment. And the area of Taiwan is less than 5% of Ukraine. And Taiwan does not have strategic depth. The war is also unlikely to drag on like Ukraine. China will only fight a quick victory. If the US military in the Asia-Pacific is involved War in Taiwan. Then all US military bases in Japan and South Korea, as well as in Southeast Asia, will be devastated. However, if Washington escalates further, the world will be on the brink of all-out nuclear war. Washington's actions in the light of the war in Ukraine. I do not think that the US military will be directly involved in the war in Taiwan. Because it's not sane and not cost-effective.

Let me guess, in the next 6 months, America is gonna send Billions of Dollars to Taiwan too, and we will see a lot of Twitter profiles with picture of Taiwan flag and #WeStandWithTaiwan

Oh, almost forgot, we would also get higher inflation, taxes, more unaffordable housing & health insurance, higher cost of living.
