If they ask for it, should the U.S. give or sell nuclear weapons to Taiwan in the hope it will deter mainland China from attacking it? No nation with nuclear weapons has ever been conquered.
Providing nuclear weapons to Taiwan may, in the long run, be cheaper than providing conventional weapons, which would have to be replenished if the island country were attacked.
Taiwan’s small size may make it easier to target its land-based nukes, although being a small nation has not deterred Israel from developing nuclear weapons. Taiwan could place nukes among several ships carrying seemingly identical missiles, even if only a handful have nuclear armaments.
