That was before the current administration wiped out the very idea of "soft power" and put everything including NATO up for disposal. There is, frankly, no way for anyone to trust the US again until the US undergoes steps similar to post-1945 Germany.

This isnt about soft power. Taiwan's location is too important for the US to not intervene in some way.
