Many establishment Republicans are completely on board with going to war with China to defend Taiwan against invasion.

GALLAGHER: I’m looking all around and hearing a whole lot of doomsday scenarios from colleagues and friends of mine and Republicans who say it’s time to polish off the nukes and go to war with China. China is about to invade Taiwan and we better be ready to defend Taiwan. What do you suppose that means exactly? Isn’t the disconnect between establishment Republicans and MAGA Republicans who are America firsters fascinating? We are all going to be expected to take a side here. Were going to be expected to take a side in the upcoming election. What path will you take? Let me give you an example of an establishment Republican and his view of what we should do on behalf of Taiwan. Here is U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham on with Shannon Bream on Fox News just a few days ago.

GRAHAM: The question for the Congress should we have a defense agreement with the island of Taiwan? We don’t. Should we have one? Yes, I will be very much open to using U.S. forces to defend Taiwan because it is in our national security interest to do so.

GALLAGHER: Now, it is in our national security interest to go to war with China. That has to be what that means, right? We have already been told that we are not really at war with Russia over Ukraine, but we need to support Ukraine or you are a Putin puppet. So I suppose we need to go to war against China or you are a Xi puppet.
