Actually I just found out that the US has a contract or agreement with Taiwan to protect it if China invades. If this is so than they should honor that commitment. So I take back what I said on not getting involved.

But try to resolve it by diplomacy first of course as opposed to war with China.

I would prefer my country to not be involved since we have no military worth talking about and no contract or promise.

If a war were to occur I see it spreading as North Korea would likely take it as an opportunity to attack South Korea and that would drag other countries in the smaller wars. Causing the US to fight two wars on two fronts. Not really a good scenerio. Not to mention the terrorist that will use these wars to there advantage causing havoc in other parts of the world.

Messed up indeed!!
