Taiwan is very likely because Xi is different than the last few patient leaders China has had. He cares less about building an economic juggernaut and more about ascendancy as it secures his throne. He cut his teeth in the age of Putin and Iran’s supreme leader. Belligerence has helped these guys stay in power. China’s economic rise only allowed previous heads of the communist party 10 years in leadership. We’re past that and in uncharted waters. It’s critical that deterrence is established now
I don’t think Intel and TSMC save us. I think the global south needs to be goaded to be more vocal in pushing back against Russia and China. As for the Russia stuff, I can’t imagine them using a nuke, but who knows. Like I said, uncharted waters

I get you. There are differences. Ukraine has all of NATO chilling right behind it.
If we got into it with China, it's the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and UK. No NATO in this fight. Europe won't help and in fact they will be upset with us because Europe would see steep cost of living expenses from that kind of conflict.
It's almost a lose-lose-lose for everyone involved. The winners of that kind of conflict are actually India and Brazil.
