One more Mark Steyn provocative thought: Suppose Beijing decides to seize Taiwan. The U.S. is obligated to defend
it militarily. But U.S. taxpayers would be funding both sides of the
war — the home team, via the Pentagon budget, and the Chinese military,
through the interest payments
on the debt. (We’ll be bankrolling the entire People’s Liberation Army
by some point this decade.) A Beijing–Taipei conflict would be, in
budget terms, a U.S. civil war relocated to the Straits of Taiwan.
