U.S. News & World Report: Playing With Fire, Trump Already Undermining National Security

Alan: Let's suppose China's intelligence community concludes that Trump is an inept clown.
And, since Taiwan is in "China's backyard," why not seize it?
Just import The Monroe Doctrine, pointing out to the world that this "not-in-my-backyard" doctrine is an All-American invention as well as an honorable political position.

Now let's suppose that the United States military -ntelligence community decides "seizure of Taiwan" is not worth a nuclear war.
China "wins."
But, let's suppose the United States decides to wage nuclear war.
China loses.
The United States loses.
The world loses.
And what's left of our species devolves to its original status as "just" another species of "jungle" ape.
I don't think this scenario will play out.
But if China were to seize Taiwan -- which it could accomplish faster than Uncle Sam could react -- I think America's military-intelligence community would advise Trump to deal with the situation diplomatically, not militarily.
Then, Trump -- America's Commander In Chief -- would decide, singlehandedly, whether to push The Button.
