We're weary of useless and unnecessary wars -exhausted. I'm glad we got out of a place we should have never been in.
This is coming up and a wrong time for Taiwan. We are in no mood for wars, the president is neither, and may be exhausted himself. So, only if the military does it behind his back and essentially do a coup, would we go full on in there.
We're spent, China knows it. But then, Taiwan, like Japan are of strategic importance. AF was the opposite of that. We could be 3T ahead in infrastructure instead.
Probably the only thing that keeps China back is international trade. It would plummet and their economy would sour quick and the rest of the world would suffer "supply chain" pain.
If anything happens this is mostly all GW's fault.
- petre 5y agoIt's just a show if force. Taiwan could accidentally fly a drone swarm into their path. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/taiwan-wants-suicide-drones-counter-china%E2%80%99s-military-advantage-177872 https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/taiwan-wants-suicid...
- ashwagary 5y agoTaiwan can't take down a Chinese jet without severe consequences. They understand that better than the average US neocon (referring to the writers of the National Interest).
- petre 5y agoThey can do just about anything they please in their airspace, including nuclear tests.
- ashwagary 5y agoSure they can but the consequences will be severe. It's equivalent to a remora fish pissing off the whale it feeds off of. Taiwan's economy would experience a tremendous decline in that scenario.
