Actually, Ivan Arreguin-Toft studied the outcomes of known battles throughout history, and his research showed that smaller armies who used unconventional Guerilla tactics won roughly 60% of the time. Even countries with army sizes comparable to Canada and America.

It's outline in his book, "How the Weak Win Wars". It's a great read, highly recommended.

Have a look at Ivan Arreguin-Toft's book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Weak-Win-Wars-International/dp/0521548691/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374343020&sr=8-1&keywords=ivan+arreguin-toft, it is not like stronger always win, in fact they lose as much as they win

Where in the article do you see that U.S. policy is not to intervene? U.S. policy is to oppose any unilateral solution of the conflict...that pretty much includes China's use of force against Taiwan
