Yeah, but then they have to interfere with our superiority over their’s in this situation.

War with China would be a disaster as Russia would instantly get behind China. WW2 all over again, but we are not (sadly) what we were back then.

Potato is a rambling loose cannon a lot of times but unless the installed Admin is almost immediately rolling out statements “to clarify the remarks”, then Potato is speaking on behalf of and with wink/nod approval from the real string pullers.

This has always chapped my arse, how did we let this happen?

They are building a megaplant in the US now but thats years away.

Some of our chip companies are going to offer these lower end chips now but at great taxpayer expense.

What a disaster our policies have made of supply chains in most sectors.

If chini stopped all trade with Taiwan they would be begging to join the mainland in a month. They are more dependent on chini than the US.

so, basically Biden has weakened America to it's weakest since it's inception, and has stengthened China by as much and now he's gonna try to provoke China.

The reason Xi isn’t doing it at this point is because it’d literally be the most difficult invasion in almost all of world history. Don’t let Taiwan’s size fool you, it’s insanely difficult to invade. Only Hannibal going through the Alps would be in the debate. It would have to be an amphibious assault at least 4 times the size of D-Day and possibly up to 10 times the size. None of the coasts are good for landing, and the ones that are can be well defended.

They’re also not going to be bombing on mass as we’re seeing in Ukraine since they want the infrastructure more than anything. Then they have a shite ton of mountains in the middle with random bunkers all over the place like Switzerland. And then you got to worry about us, because we would get directly involved with Taiwan unlike Ukraine. Invading Taiwan would be hell.



China's military is completely geared to the singular purpose of taking Taiwan. Their weapons, tactics, etc. Are all designed with Taiwan in mind. I still think China has a more difficult time than they anticipate but they've been waiting for this for a long time.

If China takes Taiwan they will rule the world. Here's a little tidbit I found:

That's why China wants to take back Taiwan. Sanctions will not stop China from invading, guaranteed.



There's major questions that China would even be able to run the chips/semiconductor plants. It's not like they're going to be able to waltz in there and replace the people. Not that simple.

Unless they kill all the Taiwanese, I think they'll manage.

For the first time since the 40s I think the ChiComs rightly doubt that the POTUS has the necessary strength of character to stand by the ROC and the binding commitments to do so.

They damn sure cannot rely on us right now. At least I wouldn't trust this administration or this congress.

The frick? We've destroyed our economy in order to stand behind the scenes and bitch, while wagging our fingers at Russia.


If China invades Taiwan... then Biden's regime gonna frick us over even more in order to virtue signal?

I honestly don't think we'd intervene in that potential conflict. Lot of our billion dollar corporations are using China to produce their products. DC will ignore and lol at all of us peasants, but they will cower at the combined indignation of multiple huge corporations.

I guess to some extent the American people contributed to this off shoring fiasco by staying uninformed of what the huge investment companies, US corporations and our corrupt government has been doing for the past 35 years……selling out the American people to the CCP..,,,Mitch, Nancy, Chuck, Nadless, Bezos, Suckerberg, Dorsey, and all the other members of the Corporatocracy say thank you!

TBH, this is and the money laundering is what Ukraine is all about. Sending a message to China and N. Korea about what will happen if they head south
