Unless China’s dictator-for-life, Xi Jinping, wants to get rid of thousands of his young citizens without jobs by using them as cannon fodder in an invasion of Taiwan, there is a much less painful way to take that island – a blockade.
As a young naval aviator who flew in the Cuban Missile Crisis, I know a few things about blockades. The U.S. blockade of Cuba was over in 28 days, except for the usual speeches by politicians.

Option 3 Just stay out of it altogether and work on getting your country back from the globalists who are destroying it with phony elections crime and wanting WW3 to knock us all off their planet, they are greedy and think they can choose how or if we are allowed to live, and worse we are very weak and falling for their agendas.
We need to get together and start really working hard again regain our countries from the traitors we are letting steal from us and lie with their sick crime filled agendas we need our strength back before we get involved in war especially a war just for the too rich sickos, they caused it. If they had asked anyone with knowledge about now prosperous growing well Russia's strength, how much the Russians love and care for their country now without communism, but with strong families, morality and faith, loving good people. Russian Children with good meaningful for the future good education, stability they work hard keeping good law and order even justice, produce their own goods in their own country quality done everything that they really need, they have very good hospitals with very well educated doctors many more than we have in our terribly expensive failing systems. They work for real science not our scare tactics pseudo, make believe silliness now being done here, No, no country will ever be perfect but they are way too strong for us in our being taken over from corruption within and weakness. No faith, no strong families, bad education, no morals, not even borders or real women or men they lie to us we are all afraid and war with the LGBTQ Plus Plus running the military's and globalist getting rich slowly building all the weapons I hear poorly in comparison no war or anything near it must be stopped if possible untill we really have our own countries and real governments with real truth.

Do what President Trump would do: threaten to cut off their imports, and impose punitive tariffs.

I think the Ukraine war has changed a lot of military thinking. Certainly, the use of drones has never been more utilized and not just in the air. Ukraine's success using naval drones to attack Russian warships should be a blueprint for Taiwan. Taiwan will never have a Navy to compete with China, but they should build naval drone fleet to destroy China's surface fleet. For a fraction of the cost, they could make China pay dearly in a blockade.

It just goes against my grain to do nothing when China jumps Taiwan but I don't
want to go to war but I really doubt if the US will keep out of war if China lets loose either by blockading or invading but you can bet that the war lovers such as Lindsey Grahamnesty will be screaming bloody murder. Now is the time for China to make their move with a senile old fool in the white house and all the money he has sent to Ukraine whats he going to do nothing I would bet he is already in the CCP pocket. Joe Bribeme is for sale and everyone knows it how big a kick back does he get on the money he gives to Ukraine? I bet he gets his ten percent. So China really has nothing to loose they may try something.

Sure, if you don't want high grade chips and see technology forced back into the 80s, by all means, don't do a thing about China trying to take Taiwan.
Notice I did not say "take back?" It never belonged to China, and does not belong to China now.
Nagle is an idiot.
