The territorial status of Taiwan remains number one on my mental list of “shit that can start world war three” if it wasn’t already, it got knocked off top spot

The territorial status of Taiwan remains number one on my mental list of “shit that can start world war three” if it wasn’t already, it got knocked off top spot for a brief little while a few years ago during the very worst of North Korea’s Sabre rattling in the very early days of Trump’s presidency, when it was unclear who would blink, if the escalation of threats had continued and North Korea pushed their “our missiles can hit the USA our great enemy” harder, but other than that week or two period, Taiwanese territorial sovereignty has been my number one most likely cause of WW3 for at least the last decade.
