China's not going to do that. They know that the US will respond militarily to any invasion of Taiwan. If they didn't believe that, they would have attacked Taiwan already.

Also, taking control of Taiwan is not going to be easy at all. This is just China's "Wolf Warrior" rhetoric that they've been doing since Xi took power.

Why would the US respond back with force in the Taiwan situation and not Ukraine?

I don't believe people truly understand the magnitude of what Russia is doing..I get it..Majority of us have to joke to ease the seriousness of the situation or because we have nothing else to do or can do. I'm going to laugh as well. But behind that laugh, subconsciously I know.

I worked Command and Control in the Air force for almost 8 years. All of our MAJOR exercises usually involved Russia or China because the DOD knew what their capabilities were/are. You believe Russia will stop at Ukraine? Or that China isn't paying close attention? This isn't Iraq. This isn't Afghanistan. This isn't Vietnam(I'm not downplaying these wars here). This can lead to a homefront attack on America soil. Russia regularly flies flies along the international skies for a reason even though it damn near violates treaties. They want it all, and aren't afraid of the consequences. This shyt is deep brehs. Pray for those you know who are overseas in international bases in Europe in the coming years.

This isn't fear based. It's based on facts. Trump was the beginning. He gave Russia too much leeway. I can go on..but mane

This is the beginning of World War 3

Russia ain't looking to dominate Europe much less the world. they just looking to get the US and NATO off their backs. NATO really violated and worst of all did the Ukrainians dirty and got them caught up. Ukraine should have taken a neutral stance like the Fins.
NATO's main mandate is anti Russian, and it have been expanding towards Russia since the collapse of the USSR and even holding military exercises in bordering countries. Most nations would take that as a provocation including the united states.

It's like if china and a few other nations formed a pact to halt the expansion of the united states then wanted Mexico to join and start giving them weapons or holding military exercises in the Caribbean. The US would not let that fly.

The only way to stop Putin, would be to permanently cut Russia off from the rest of the world, but there is too much money involved for that to ever happen. :manny:
You would cut off Europe by proxy

Trump siding with white supremacists did this but the TPTB wanted Trump because he solidified a white supremacist supreme court. They didn't want him to Nazi up America

There are thousands of ransomware a day. The government can’t be everywhere.

Hospitals, banks, etc.

Understood but there are government agencies that focus on protecting vital infrastructure from cyberattacks.
