This, IMO, represents a much more dire risk worldwide for a WWIII than anything going on in Russia/Ukraine. Because if China goes into Taiwan, Trump WILL act, and how's that going to go down exactly?

There's no way we can afford to do that. If Taiwan goes, microchips become almost a monopoly overnight.

But, but but... no more wars under Trump!

I think it's more likely with Trump's America First position that the People of Taiwan will have to become used to being Chinese citizens and the "benefits" that go along with that.

Start making your own microchips. With Tariff's on Chinese products.

Communist-Chinese Capitalism at its finest.
