china cant invade Taiwan: they have no amphibious capability and the USN still dominates even that area of the world. And Taiwan is heavily armed with US hardware.
If China invades Taiwan and Biden just offer thoughts and prayers and puts a taiwanese flag on his profile pic, There will be no way the media can spin it as anything but a deliberate capitulation to China. That doesn't mean China won't do it though. Thomas Wictor said something to the effect that China is forcing their bought off politicians to make all these heavy-handed moves against their own better judgement because they fundamentally misunderstand America.

They'll just ignore it like Hong Kong
At their peril. They can't just ignore China invading Taiwan without destroying their last shreds of credibility. The silence would be deafening.
