Question is how long will it take to get the weapons to Taiwan?
US OKs $1B arms sale to Taiwan as tensions rise with China
The Biden administration has announced a more than $1 billion arms sale to Taiwan as U.S.-China tensions escalate over the status of the island.apnews.com
Follow the money. Just follow the money. This would have likely never happened if Pelosi hadn't stirred things up with her little visit. If someone expects me to believe that this deal wasn't expected, or that those responsible for "facilitating" it by stirring the pot in China-Taiwan relations won't be getting their slice of the pie one way or another, well, they'd be dead wrong.US OKs $1B arms sale to Taiwan as tensions rise with China

Just a Billion? Come on man! Then again if they send 60, 70, or 80 billion that would be quite a lot of weight and the island may sink.US OKs $1B arms sale to Taiwan as tensions rise with China

We are sending Tawain 1.1 billion in weapons alone. China is not happy.
Given we have stockpiles in Japan probably not that long(if some are already not delivered yet I would be shocked). It would not have been made public if they were questioning rather or not the deliveries would happen.
I'm curious what you are counting as the 3rd one. Russia/Ukraine obviously, but what else?
The Doublespeak our politicians engage in is incredible. I believe the U.S. government officially supports the One China Policy. I believe Joe Biden even said as much in the past few months. Yet, they sell Taiwan billions in weapons. "Well, we agree that Taiwan is part of China, but we're going to do everything we can to prevent Taiwan from being part of China." Insanity.
Syria. We have had an airbase in Syria since 2015. We have spent billions in a failed attempt to overthrow Assad. So you are right that one is an actual war not really a proxy one, but until congress actually declares war it is a kind of proxy war with the USA backing a new government that is not in power.
Well, I don't know. You bring up a good point. The Russians did not want Assad to be overthrown, so there was a bit of proxy war going on. Maybe there still is. I have lost track of what is happening in Syria.
