| Optio | Post; Do you think Taiwan has nukes?My guess is that they do have them in the likely invent of an invasion from China and that they were given to them by the US. |

| Immunes | According to my Taiwanese girlfriend they don't, and the Americans do not want them to develop their own. They probably have a few lost Soviet nukes lying around though. |

 Oh no, I've said too much! The Red Army will be in Taipei by dawn! I'll send her to find some WMD in Iraq.Seriously though, if they had nukes, wouldn't they anounce it, to act as a deterrent to China? | ||

| Immunes | Indeed. However, Taiwan isn't in the UN. Their membership was given to China. If Taiwan is relying on its armed forces to defend itself then its stuffed, frankly (unless they have US help). Taiwan may be the largest arms buyer in the world, but they need a few nukes, as a deterrent, as I said earlier, and to show they aren't a soft target, like North Korea. In my humble opinion anyway. |

| Fridgeraider (Instructor) | The only thing keeping Taiwan, South Korea and Japan from developing nukes is America's involvement. If America pulls out of the region or decides to play a decidedly smaller role, all three will require Nukes. Taiwan probably more than the others.

| Primus Pilus | hahahah I wonder who started it... and why. But no, I don't think Taiwan has a nuclear missile.
