What the U.S. will or won't do with regard to supporting Taiwan (should it come to that) might tell us much about our alliance.

Seems like Biden will support Taiwan if necessary, not sure we need to supply troops or any equipment. For sure the USA will use their tracking facilities in Aus they have setup at Pine Gap etc and probably direct their sub fleet from here but I think they would do their own thing without asking us what we think.
There was talk on 60mins from some of the strategists that they might let Taiwan be taken over rather than get involved in any large scale war effort to defend them given the options they would have available and the risk they would have to go nuclear.
If I was in Taiwan I'd be seeing the writing on the wall and leaving.....
China have zero respect for us and our small military force, the USA couldnt be trusted to keep their agreements with us either if they pulled the plug on the Taiwanese and thats more concerning.
