Taiwan IS Chinese- and universally recognized as such. I'm wondering how international law applies to a third party- the US- taking military action against a sovereign state- China- attempting to secure part of its own sovereign territory from a breakaway faction.
Agreed, Crimea is a very similar scenario- and the US didn't interfere directly, militarily.

I would argue that Palestine as such never existed. It was Trans-Jordan and a Jewish mandate state that existed post WW 1.

Despite your whacko beliefs Palestine is a UN-recognized state- so- unless you want to ignore international law and deny that, would you argue that Palestine was Israeli ?
