The cost of anything, especially in terms of lives, depends on the prize and national pride. How many lives were lost in WWI and WWII? Loss of lives in Ukraine now is peanuts in comparison to past great wars and so would a conventional invasion of Taiwan by China or North Korea on the South.

Where did I say that?
I mentioned US Military resources - that it has enough to fight WW3 just from their stockpiles and resources in Japan alone.
I never said the US will nuke Chy-na. The US wouldn't even attack Chy-na, let alone nuke anyone. The only 2 countries threatening Nuclear Warfare was Russia and Chy-na. But if it does that, then it leaves the US no other choice.
I do not want the US to nuke Russia or Chy-na.
It's easy to make big statements but it is very doubtful that Chy-na is able to conduct a successful invasion of Taiwan as it just simply doesn't have the resources to land enough Trrops on the island and if they tried, it would result in a bloodbath. I am glad you acknowledge that Russian and Chy-nese lives don't matter to their leaders.
The lives of US soldiers actually do matter. American soldiers are heroes to Americans. They are idolized by a thankful population. I guess that just goes to show the humanity of the American nation as compared to the Russian and Chy-nese.
