> give the US a compelling reason to establish a military base in Taiwan Now this is just crazy talk. This is just begging for WW3. You might as well launch the nukes right now, and see who survives afterwards to pick up the pieces. I don’t think the fine people of San Francisco or New York City wants to be in the crosshairs of a thermonuclear ICBM. Some people are going to have a very bad sunburn on that day. Although it would make for a great Instagram selfie: Check out that #mushroomcloud behind me! The point being, is that we need to walk a fine line here, and not risk escalating this to something kinetic. Because once those bullets and missiles start flying, then both sides are going to look deep into the abyss, and not see the bottom. In the past, wiser men have avoided starting a war between the two countries. Today, we need those sensible leadership more than ever.
