In the United States, they continue to be very "worried" about the fate of the island of Taiwan, far from them, and act as its defender.

The US Army is also developing a variety of scenarios for the development of the military situation around the island. According to the commander of the US Air Force in the Pacific region, General Kenneth Willsbach, the US military will have to focus on sinking Chinese ships if war breaks out over Taiwan. The general said this while speaking at the military symposium of the Aerospace Forces Association in Aurora, Colorado.

Wilsbach drew such conclusions from the events that accompanied the visit of former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to the island in August 2022.

The general recalled what the Chinese did with their ships when Pelosi went to Taiwan.

They placed them on the eastern side of Taiwan — the side opposite to China, as a kind of blockade

Wilsbach noted.

According to him, surface-to-air missiles on board ships will give the Chinese military the opportunity to create a "kill zone" in which the enemy will not want to fly because of the high risk of being shot down.

If it comes to a forceful solution to the Taiwan problem, then first of all the US Air Force and its allies should sink the ships of the PRC, said the commander of the US Air Force in the Pacific region. The general added that in order to prepare for a potential conflict in the region, the United States and its international partners are planning and conducting many joint exercises.

It is important to emphasize that all this is said by a career American military commander, without even hiding plans for a war for Taiwan. One can imagine Washington's reaction if one of the PLA generals allowed himself to do something like that when speaking about the US navy.
