Would you endorse combat ops USA vs China over Taiwan?

Iran and Russia are allies. Iran out of the picture helps Ukraine and increases pressure on Russia. Remember all the Ukraine flags everywhere? Isnt that a good thing?

Control of Venezuela and choking the strait directly puts a cog in China and Russias gearbox.

Taking out the entire Irani navy and most of its air defenses with limited civilian casualties followed by economic blockade is a positive in my book for now. France and UK are finally sending something. The rest of Europe will need to step up, which they will.
