    Even if we stood by, TSMC would be rubble when it was done. China fear mongers always act like the Taiwanese are just going to say welcome China, gotta go, gonna be late for work...and China gains the Taiwanese export economy.
    They're not going to welcome them, they're going to be obliterated, Snake. China is not going to go in there as (we) go into every place since the end of II, mewling and carrying on about de-militarized zones and no fly zones and "we're sorry, but we have to do this, but if we do anything wrong go to the World Bank and we'll cut a check, uh, right a way."

    China ain't be gonna be in' around like you and Biden imagine they will. No way.

    Yeah no, the whole western world would come to Taiwan's aid in a second. No way they're letting China take over the world's most important semiconductor foundry and all their IP. It would be devastating to the richest corporations in America, Europe, Japan, etc.
    We're gonna find who's correct, bum, that I can assure you. China is watching Russia now and liking what they see. It bodes well for them to move on Taiwan.

    What's happened with Putin here is not cyclical. This is a sea change, fellows. You can feel it deep in your bones if you've been around 60 years.

    & speaking of Chernobyl...

    "How bad is it?" Michael Douglas to his financial advisers about his stock margins. -A Perfect Murder-

    Their answer..."Think Chernobyl."

    The guiding principle of America is that the rich cannot feel pain. You can't seriously think America wouldn't sacrifice millions of its citizens who don't matter to protect the profits of Apple, Amazon, Google, etc. we have already been doing it for two years with the pandemic.

    Yes, I can guarantee you that when China moves on Taiwan we'll do what we're doing now that Russia moved on Ukraine. A mirror image. No more trips out to Dover.

    Putin's one of the richest mother ers in the world, you think he wants to give that up?
    $200B is an estimate that I saw

    As with the American oligarchy's objective to install outright fascism as kleptoracy, Pootin certainly sees installing puppet kleptocrats in Ukraine to drain the country of wealth

    Bull . For you to believe this you'd have to tell me the lives of soliders plus the American citizens that would get drafted into a war matter more than corporate profits to our government. You can't really believe that. Ukraine doesn't matter to corporate America. Taiwan is critical to corporate America.

    I gotta go with bb on this one. We see China making real moves for a Taiwan invasion instead little airspace incursions and the entire Western Navy is gonna be rolling towards Taiwan. Sanctions and naval blockades will be pre-emptive instead of "Let's see how this plays out tee, hee"

    Putin will be the first to say...
    "I never trusted the Chinese, may I help too?"
    "C'mon Man! Of course you can Vlad"

    Looks like it's going to happen. Next domino to fall after Ukraine is China seizing Taiwan. US, Nato, Russia and China are all nuclear powers, so let's hope this war ends with s ing and substantial sanctions and agreements and not a nuclear winter that kills tens to hundreds of millions worldwide.
    You forgot it’s more likely that Iran will have a Nuclear Warhead available in the next few months - To me that is what scares me the most definitely dark days ahead for all of us
