Did he promise to come to Ukriane's aid militarily if Russia invade?

Well, that is the way Zelensky and all Ukrainians UNDERSTAND his Promise ..... before the War.
That is the way l understand it too and l am sure, that is the way Taiwan is reading it right now.

But we all know, that promise is as unreliable as Zelensky said it was.

U.S. President Joe Biden says his country will come to the aid of Taiwan if China invades the island nation.

President Joe Biden said Monday that the U.S. would send troops to defend Taiwan if China were to invade, saying the burden to protect Taiwan is "even stronger' after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It was one of the most forceful presidential statements in support of self-governing in decades.

Biden, at a news conference in Tokyo, said “yes” when asked if he was willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if China invaded. “That’s the commitment we made,” he added.

The U.S. traditionally has avoided making such an explicit security guarantee to Taiwan, with which it no longer has a mutual defense treaty, instead maintaining a policy of “strategic ambiguity" about how far it would be willing to go if China invaded. The 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, which has governed U.S. relations with the island, does not require the U.S. to step in militarily to defend Taiwan if China invades, but makes it American policy to ensure Taiwan has the resources to defend itself and to prevent any unilateral change of status in Taiwan by Beijing.

Biden's comments drew a sharp response from the mainland, which has claimed Taiwan to be a rogue province.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin expressed “strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition" to Biden's comments. “China has no room for compromise or concessions on issues involving China’s core interests such as sovereignty and territorial integrity."

He added, "China will take firm action to safeguard its sovereignty and security interests, and we will do what we say.”

A White House official said Biden’s comments did not reflect a policy shift.

Speaking alongside Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Biden said any effort by China to use force against Taiwan would “just not be appropriate,” adding that it “will dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in Ukraine.”

China has stepped up its military provocations against democratic Taiwan in recent years aimed at intimidating it into accepting Beijing's demands to unify with the communist mainland.

“They’re already flirting with danger right now by flying so close and all the maneuvers that are undertaken,” Biden said of China.

Under the “one China” policy, the U.S. recognizes Beijing as the government of China and doesn’t have diplomatic relations with Taiwan. However, the U.S. maintains unofficial contacts including a de facto embassy in Taipei, the capital, and supplies military equipment for the island’s defense.

Biden said it is his “expectation” that China would not try to seize Taiwan by force, but he said that assessment “depends upon just how strong the world makes clear that that kind of action is going to result in long-term disapprobation by the rest of the community."

He added that deterring China from attacking Taiwan was one reason why it's important that Russian President Vladimir Putin "pay a dear price for his barbarism in Ukraine," lest China and other nations get the idea that such action is acceptable.

Fearing escalation with nuclear-armed Russia, Biden quickly ruled out putting U.S. forces into direct conflict with Russia, but he has shipped billions of dollars in U.S. military assistance that has helped Ukraine put up a stiffer-than-expected resistance to Russia’s onslaught.

Taipei cheered Biden's remarks, with Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Joanne Ou expressing “sincere welcome and gratitude” for the comments.

“The challenge posed by China to the security of the Taiwan Strait has drawn great concern in the international community,” said Ou. “Taiwan will continue to improve its self-defense capabilities, and deepen cooperation with the United States and Japan and other like-minded countries to jointly defend the security of the Taiwan Strait and the rules-based international order, while promoting peace, stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.”

It's not the first time Biden has pledged to defend Taiwan against a Chinese attack, only for administration officials to later claim there had been no change to American policy. In a CNN town hall in October, Biden was asked about using the U.S. military to defend Taiwan and replied, “Yes, we have a commitment to do that."

Biden's comments came just before he formally launched a long-anticipated Indo-Pacific trade pact that excludes Taiwan.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed Sunday that Taiwan isn’t among the governments signed up for the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, which is meant to allow the U.S. to work more closely with key Asian economies on issues like supply chains, digital trade, clean energy and anticorruption.

Inclusion of Taiwan would have irked China.

Sullivan said the U.S. wants to deepen its economic partnership with Taiwan on a one-to-one basis.

when u know how much your country spends on military/defense e go sure for you like Biden.

Again, the bolded is your own understanding and summation of what is happening, which is your right and you are entitled to .

But you dont seem to understand that just as you are entitled to your own OPINION, others are also entitled to theirs, from their own "understanding and summation" of the events and ... You dont need to insult them or call them Names, based on that.

Doing so shows that you are intolerant of the views of others and you are trying to impose your opinion on others, the same thing you are accusing Putin of doing!

To others, Putin is doing exactly the same thing America did to some part of Mexico, when it annexed it to form New Mexico, what it did to Iraq when it lied that it was trying to become an Existential threat to the USA, by developing a WMD.
Same thing it did to Libya, when it lied again that Ghadafi has WMD.
You cant be using different standards for others and another one for America, ALL LIVES matters and they are Equal.

Nancy2020:
nato no longer going to take Ukraine as it member that is the main reason for the war. I know you have a hard time understanding it.

NATO didn't refuse to take Ukraine. NATO membership application can take up to several months b4 conclusion.

Ukraine were the ones that opted not to join NATO and stay neutral as part of the Russia requirements to stop the invasion.


And if it the main reason for the war, why is the war still ongoing?

Sleepy Joe and his numerous gaffes.

This man should just be bundled to the Old People's Home where he will be playing with and talking to himself until his last days.

His WOKE policies have only placed America on the path of becoming a Third World Country all of a sudden.

You just wasted your time typing nonsense as usual. Condemn US for their atrocities. Condemn Russia for theirs. Because US did it doesn't justify Russia doing it.

Taiwan should sign an agreement with China prohibiting them from having military alliance with US or UK and others nations but economy trade and relationship with whom ever they seems fit. In return China is to sign and prohibit her self from activities that put Taiwan's sovereignty and her people into danger. If China breaks this agreement, Taiwan is at liberty to call on military support from other nations and these nations upon such request are free to defend the interest of Taiwan.

If you must depend on another man's strength to win a fight it's better you avoid such fight.

Bla bla bla! Open mouth waaaah! . What was the promise? Biden never promised to send troops to ukraine to fight against Russia. Infact, he made it clear that the US will not fight in Ukraine.

However, in the case of Taiwan, he has openly come out to say the US will come to Taiwan's aid militarily. Let China test if the US is joking or not by attacking Taiwan. That's the only way to know if the US/Biden is bluffing or not.

the result of american interference with china's hegemony : korea and vietnam. america failed twice.

YOU GOT IT WRONG THERE. AMERICA SUCCEEDED TWICE. IN THE KOREAN PENINSULA, THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA ( SOUTH KOREA) IS AN ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE FIRMLY IN AMERICA'S DIPLOMATIC ORBIT. THE 'DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA' ( NORTH KOREA) WHICH, BY THE WAY IS ANYTHING BUT DEMOCRATIC, IS A PARIAH STATE, AN ECONOMIC BASKET CASE RULED BY AN AUTOCRATIC DYNAST THAT DEPENDS ON CRUMBS FROM CHINA FOR SURVIVAL.
AS FOR VIETNAM, IT IS A MIDDLE LEVEL DEVELOPING COUNTRY, FRIENDLY TO THE UNITED STATES AND FERVENTLY ANTI CHINA.

The only thing you genocide supporters think is USA. USA this, USA that!

"Oh look a pregnant woman has just been bombed in the hospital', ahh no USA has done that b4

NATO wanted Ukraine that what cause the war even pope admit it are you wiser then the pope.

On 5 January 2008 Georgia held a non-binding referendum on NATO membership with 77% voting in favor of joining the organization. Russia sees NATO's eastward expansion as a threat against their strategic interests in Europe and has accused the West of having double standards.

Georgia–NATO relations - Wikipedia

That exactly the same reason they wanted to jojn nato too it is actually you that don't understand intentional politics.

There is what we call divide before you rule that what USA goes about the world to do

Bringing problems to the world so that you won't have peace with your neighbors.

Non- binding referendum. Why is that Georgia and Ukraine not yet NATO members?
Why is that Georgia and Ukraine want to join NATO for protection?
Russia aggression towards neighbors is reason those neighbors want to join nato.

Third world war is brewing gradually.

Una dey use Internet at all or is it just beer parlor talk and inshallah.

Since day 1, Biden and America had been clear there will be not military intervention in Ukraine. How many times person go say the same thing but all dz toddlers with war film imagination will be envisioning different thing

You see why you shouldn’t be arguing with anonymous people whose level of brain power you cannot remotely ascertain. Imagine they are still comparing this with Ukraine, whereas long before the war started, Biden had repeatedly said that America will not send troops to Ukraine. In fact it became a national anthem.

But here are some people comparing Taiwan’s case with Ukraine.

IT IS NOT THE QUANTITY OF CHINESE DEBT AS PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL DEBT PORTFOLIO THAT IS THE ISSUE HERE. IT IS THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT PAYING WHEN THE LOAN IS DUE. WE CAN SEE IT ALREADY PLAYED OUT IN SRI LANKA. AFRICANS, EITHER OUT OF FEAR OR IGNORANCE, ARE UNWILLING/UNABLE TO CALL IT WHAT IT TRULY IS: NEOCOLONIALISM.

My advice to Taiwan. Make peace with China. Learn from the mistakes of Ukraine.

Like for China, share for USA

Ukraine made no mistake. Imagine Putin having Ukraine as he is aiming to. One erratic and undemocratic country with some bloated sense of strength will not be blackmailing the hole world with food supply. Ukraine and Russia supply one third of the worlds wheat, sunseed oil and barley I think. Add to that the oil deposits of both nation and potential new discovery of oil along its rich and vast coasts. The world should rally behind Ukraine and stop the impending blackmail from a clique of egoistic sadists.

Taking of land is now the next problem Russia now want to send a punishment for ukraine action.

And Ukraine refuse.

They are just stating what Ukraine has already said, that "They will never join NATO".

I don't think Russia should have to fight a war to make their brothers (Ukraine) say that. They can do that without the invasion.


As for the punishment claim:
Its not punishment. Russia has been stealing land from Ukraine ever since they broke up. the last one was the annexation of Cremia.

I think Russia is trying to cripple Ukraine so that no fraction would ever break out of Russia again. it's a lesson for its own citizens.

This alleged annexation of part of mexico didnt drive up the prices of food or oil & gas around the globe. The case of Ukraine and Russia is that of the biggest food producer of Europe going for the second largest food producer of Europe. The energy story is similar to the food story. You can't just equate invasions because you don't like America. I don't like them too but let us consider the effects of these invasions before equating them. China is difficult to deal with economically and they wan to go after a strategic economic nations that's a chip making giant.
