@NoNameToYou American honor. Some Americans tend to be ignorant of world events, so let me remind you of who "Taiwan" is. Going back to the 20th century, the Kuomintang ( KMT ), [I] also referred to as the Guomindang ( GMD ), [17] the Nationalist Party of China was our WW2 ally against Imperial Japan. After the war we cut off arms supplies to the battle-weary Nationalists while Stalin was supplying full support to Mao's communists. The Nationalists lost the civil war and were exiled to the island of Formosa or Taiwan. (This was our first betrayal, without it there probably would not have been a Korean or a Vietnam War.)
When Soviet supported North Korea invaded South Korea, precipitating the Korean War, the Republic of China (Taiwan), despite our recent betrayal, sent troops to support us along with our other allies. When Soviet supported North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam and we tried to do the same thing we had done in Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, and Taiwan sent troops to support us while virtually ALL our NATO "allies", including the UK and Canada, stabbed us in the back diplomatically, condemning our efforts. In the midst of Taiwan's support the Nixon administration, wanting to take advantage of the political friction between the Chicoms and the Soviets after the death of Stalin and play mainland China against the USSR, transferred US diplomatic recognition from our ally to our enemy. (Second betrayal)
In the aftermath of our refusal to supply South Vietnam with the arms promised in the peace treaty ending the Vietnam War (Yes, children, we won the war before we lost it, North Korea never signed a peace treaty, North Vietnam DID - third betrayal), the North Vietnamese Army invaded the South with more Soviet tanks and planes than the US deployed against the Normandy beachhead in WW2. Then the purges began. The situation in Vietnam was so bad that Vietnamese were trying to escape the country by trying to TRAVERSE THE PACIFIC in anything that could float, however marginally. (web search "vietnam boat people")
Democratic reforms were implemented in the 1980s in Taiwan, and now Taiwan is a prosperous and thriving democracy. Taiwan is the world's main supplier of computer chips, a CAPITAL GOOD that undergirds our modern economy. The voters have indicated their desire to remain free. With respect to the "one China/two Chinas" issue, if our criterion is the "consent of the governed" then there is one China, the Republic of China (Taiwan). The mainland, the People's Republic of China is a renegade province. If our criterion is NOT the "consent of the governed", we owe King George an apology.
Now others have gone on at length to explain the economic national interest we have in Taiwan. I'm not an economist. I am a moralist. Taiwan has been an active, loyal, and steadfast ally of the US for 80 years, for all her political history. They were our allies when we didn't have many. "But the Chicoms have nukes!". Yea, they'll have more the next time, and the next. We won the Cold War with containment and readiness, not appeasement. Appeasement is surrender on the installment plan. Since when was betraying our allies a "conservative" position? Shame on you! As long as the Lord blesses us, we have an obligation to be a blessing.

@blesssixone1902
" they want to claim all sorts of different arguments and its all based off bullshit. "
I noted that disabling the safeguards in our election system effectively leaves our democratic system defenseless against cheaters. YOU STILL HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THIS ARGUMENT. And what could be said against it? That evil people don't exist?
". you want to go back in time to try and assert that your party of TODAY voted FOR the voter rights act.
That is where history leaves the question. Your assertion that Republicans want to repeal the Voter Rights Act is still undocumented. You ignored my challenge to present proof.
"What happened to Stacey Abrahams? "
She lost the election and lied about it, just like Hillary.

If I lived in a nice safe place like Oklahoma, I might be impressed by your notion that voter fraud is not a problem in the US. I live in Illinois, and for all 61 years of my life no national election has gone for the Republicans CLOSELY. We live in a "house wins all ties" state where the Chicago Democrat machine routinely cheats every national, statewide, and municipal election and has done so for all the 61 years of my life. In order to get a Republican into the Governor's mansion or a federal office, we have to win in a landslide so large that conventional voter fraud can't beat it:

When democrats sought to steal the 2000 presidential election, they sent for "the pros from Chicago", including an scion of the Daley family, of Chicago Democrat machine fame. They cynically invoked him as a "vote fraud expert". For those not familiar with Chicago politics, the Daleys are experts at committing voter fraud, not preventing it. Bush had won the Florida presidential election and an automatic recount. The secretary of state (the official constitutionally empowered to certify the election) had certified the election. The Florida Supreme Court intervened (it is not clear that they have jurisdiction, the US constitution states that the designated state officer has the authority to certify the election).
The Florida Supreme court called for a manual recount of selected Democrat counties only. When the Republican observers arrived at the counting facility, the democrats had already cracked open the seals and started handling the ballots. "Chain of custody" protocol requires that the opposing party observers be present BEFORE the seals are broken. The hole puncher which is used to cast votes What happened to Stacey Abrahams? was in the hands of the Democrat "counters" and the punched out "chads" were on the floor of the counting room. Not of the polling place, the counting room. Clearly, those particular votes were not being "counted", they were being CAST from undervote ballots. Eventually, the US Supreme Court put an end to this fiasco:

"My Guy, your arguments are NOTHING NEW or even ORIGINAL"
Novelty is not a prerequisite for truth.
"You all love to talk this smaller government bullshit while wanting to force everyone to believe YOUR BRAND of "life". "
We are invariably the ones being forced, particularly in the past 60 years.
"Also read the part where I wrote that I do not support EITHER party."
I respond to the part where you attack conservatives and Republicans, like the screed referenced above.
"Please.... we haven't fought in ANY war to preserve our collective freedoms since the Revolutionary War "
Have you heard of the American Civil War? Also, there was an obvious freedom tie-in to our involvement in WW2 and the Cold War and associated battles.
"resource grabbing"
Show me the resources we havWhat happened to Stacey Abrahams? e "grabbed". They don't exist. Iraq had oil, but WE didn't get any of it.
"Please STOP IT."
You have no point. You have no case. Name calling and ad hominem attacks will not go unanswered.

@Chipolinou "In 1947, Poland, together with Nazi Germany, seized territories from Czechoslovakia. After that, Churchill called Poland the "hyena of Europe." It turns out that Poland was an ally of Germany"
False. Germany surrendered to the allies in 1945. There was no Nazi Germany in 1947 and Poland was occupied by Soviet forces by then. From the joint Reich/Soviet invasion in 1939 till they regained their independence in 1981, Poland was occupied by foreign enemies. In fact, after the Soviet Union and Germany signed their Non-Aggression Pact and cooperated in crushing Poland the USSR gave political support and material aid to the Reich. This was the first intervention of the USSR in events leading up to the greater war, and it was helping the wrong side.
The Soviet Union was actually an ally of Nazi Germany and the USSR was supporting the Reich with its propaganda and vast amounts of material aid shipped across Poland by rail. While the US was already becoming the Arsenal of Democracy by sending material aid to the UK prior to the declaration of war, the USSR was simultaneously becoming the Arsenal of Despotism by sending material aid to Hitler up to the very day that Operation Barbarossa was launched. The actual crossing of the demarcation line by the Wehrmacht was timed so the first tank crossed the line eastward just as the last train of Soviet war material crossed the line westward. The courage of the Soviet peoples in the latter part of the war was commendable, but a complete analysis of the net Soviet contribution to the war must take into account that the problem the USSR helped solve was largely a problem they helped create. That Stalin's ally betrayed him in no way makes him the hero of the war. The Soviet Union didn't join the Allies until they had to do so to survive, and without the aid of the Atlantic Alliance (US/UK) they could not have survived.
"The USSR destroyed 80 percent of German soldiers. In the Second World War."
If those are the Soviet figures, they are no doubt inflated, that was standard procedure for Soviet history books and press releases. Any official that didn't inflate Soviet public figures would have been shot. At that, I doubt that they counted the German soldiers killed before the Soviet Union was attacked. As far as the USSR history books are concerned, that was the START of the "Great Patriotic War", and it ignores the German Axis ally Italy entirely (not to mention Japan).
The US declared war on December 11, 1941. The turning point of Germany's eastern front, prior to which Germany was totally on the offensive was the Battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 - 2 February 1943). By the time the Battle of Stalingrad had even begun, the US and UK were already shipping aid in bulk to the Soviet Union, mostly food a first, but constantly trucks and fuel, shipped in by Anglo-American convoys fighting through the German attempt at blockade. The defenders of Stalingrad almost starved as it was, and would certainly have starved without that aid.
By the time the USSR had turned to the offensive, The US had been supplying, and continued to supply, Sherman tanks in vast numbers to all the allies including the Soviet Union. The UK also supplied the USSR with some tanks. The US and the UK also supplied the Soviets with combat and logistics aircraft. 90% of the trucks supporting the Soviet offensive logistical effort were Studebaker trucks shipped in from US factories, and the bulk of the fuel was from the US as well. Without that aid the Soviet offensive would not have been possible logistically or materially.
Shortly after the US declaration of war, the US sent ground forces to aid the British effort to push the Axis powers out of Northern Africa. In November of 1942, the US opened an African front of its own in Operation Torch. The Anglo-American offensive pushed the Axis out of Africa, and deprived them of their main source of oil. This began well before the end of the Stalingrad battle and the start of the Soviet offensive, and paved the way for the subsequent Anglo-American invasions of Sicily and Italy, which took Italy out of the war. The US and UK also were heavily bombing Germany proper and military targets in Axis occupied Europe, reducing Germany's industrial capacity and inflicting casualties. All of this BEFORE the Normandy invasion.
