黃奎博, 美國會出兵援臺？川普的回答露餡了. Yahoo論壇, July 22, 2018 https://tw.news.yahoo.com/%E3%80 ... D%94-014138236.html
("台湾政治大学国际事务学院副院长黄奎博22日在yahoo论坛上以“美国会出兵援台，川普的回答露馅了”为为发表文章。文中指出，美中开战的冲突强度一定远远超过美国对伊拉克战争，而且美国航母群势必会接近中国大陆的战场，一艘航母动辄载有5.6千人，万一遭击沉后果不堪设想，美国在亚太的军事基地也将变成解放军跨海攻击的重点，预测美军的死伤可能超过对伊拉克战争的阵亡总人数，如果这些推测接近真实，任何理性的美国领导人都很难做出兵援台的决定")
The scenario in the quotation will happen only if China both conducts a pre-emptive, surprise attack on US forces in East Asia, and succeeds. But it is very difficult to do that in the age of satellites. China's dilemma in military expedition to Taiwan is always: without pre-emptive strikes on US (as well as Japan nowadays), what if its (Chinese) expeditionary forces are attacked in the flanks?
(The黃奎博 essay opens with the news: "美國某電視新聞網的主持人本（7）月18日在節目中問美國總統川普（Donald J. Trump）：「為什麼我兒子該去蒙特內哥羅，幫助他們抵禦攻擊？」川普回答說：「我懂你說的，因為我也問過同樣的問題。」")
