Could you honestly tell me how that would affect you in your day to day life? Infrastructure here would still be falling down, our southern border would still be overrun, crime would still be rampant, etc......

The Chinese taking over Taiwan would cause disastrous consequences for our economy. Ironically, the same people now begging for war against Russia are the reason for that.

You’re an enormous fricking dumbass if you think the answer is no. China taking Taiwan would cause massive global economic and supply problems similar to or exceeding the covid disruptions, and lasting a lot longer.

Supply chain would be fricked if Taiwan got taken over. Inflation would be roaring.

Don't give a shite about Ukraine

You are kidding yourself if you believe nothing would be different if Russia took Ukraine and China took Taiwan.

Ukraine means little in the big picture.

Taiwan on the other hand would be a huge issue.

Russia and Ukraine I'd feel bad for the citizens of Ukraine. Taiwan is a different beast entirely, that starts a cold war at the very least.

Russia is taking Ukraine. Get used to it. It's over

Losing Taiwan to China will be bad. But Biden has already destroyed our supply chain.

I wonder if China is the world's biggest backer of Ukrainian interest here in the US. From pure money, msm outlets and politicians. I imagine a conflict on Taiwan would be easier for them if we were engaged in Ukraine. China Joe could give the excuse " we just don't have the resources to fight two wars".

Would affect everyone, because our government will make sure it affects everyone. Probably do heavy lockdowns and round up anyone who criticized the endless support of Ukraine.

How exactly would the supply chain be messed up? The vast majority of crap China makes now is bought by the rest of the world. Is this just going to all of a sudden stop if they take Taiwan?

now this one would be felt, no more computer chips for a few years until they build plants elsewhere to build them would cripple our way of life but in all honesty, that needs to happen anyway, but it takes years to get it done, not cold turkey with zero warning

I ask again, how would it affect the supply chain? We arent just going to stop buying chinese stuff. Chips would now be from China instead of Taiwan
