Yes, and then the US will force its way. It's quite funny that you even mentioned nukes. Taiwan did attempt to build nukes and the US destroyed the project.

- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Taiwan did attempt to build nukes and the US destroyed the project We “destroyed” it inasmuch as we said we won’t be friends if you do this. We didn’t threaten to invade. America has resisted geopolitical balancing to date because we resisted the temptation of realpolitik. America’s allies are, on average, richer and more peaceful than her enemies. That’s now beginning to change. For the first time in modern history, we may see a system of alliances emerge that credibly counter American economic and military might.

- JumpCrisscross 2y agoSorry, I should have said post-Cold War. The USSR obviously credibly countered the U.S.
