I think it was a good move personally and I think absolutely planned. Been reading/listening a fair bit about this and I don't think it was a gaff. It might have been an unplanned remark, but some analysts I've read says it's consistent with his stated previous remarks on the subject.
One of the analysts on the news this am said that removing the ambiguity now is actually a good move because it takes away the chances for Jhyna to miscalculate our intentions. If Xi thinks we are distracted or worse yet would refuse to go fight for an allied nation who is not in a formal defense treaty, like we are doing with Ukraine - it makes the chances higher that he might miscalculate and make a play for the Island while he thinks the gettin's good.
And those that say the US policy has not changed are 100% correct. We've always planned to defend Taiwan - we've just never stated it publically until now. I think it's a good thing thing we finally stopped with the "Strategic Ambiguity" charade.
Fuck China! Just saying.
