Fair enough not really the kind of stuff I care about if I'm honest then. We could just not sanction them, while we're at it unsanction Russia for all I care.

We could just not sanction them, while we're at it unsanction Russia for all I care. I'd happily buy their oil if it meant fewer winter deaths.
- gjsman-1000 3y agoI don't necessarily disagree. And I'm not saying the US should or should not help Taiwan. However, if Taiwan is invaded, it will be worse than the pandemic for availability of everything from cars to computers to shipping. The damage would also spread like wildfire if it is prolonged. Imagine if you are UPS and can't get new package scanners. Imagine if you are VISA, a part of your mainframe fails, and there's no parts to replace it, so transactions are delayed or have higher fees to go through. Imagine if you are Lockheed Martin building airplanes with 60,000 engineers. If 10% of your computers fail within 3 years, 6,000 engineers need computers you can't get except for subpar stuff, second hand stuff, often from scalpers, at ludicrous prices. And so forth. It's just all-around terrible economically and it would be felt globally. Global economic depression is quite possible.
