We tried to have navy seals plant listening devices in North Korea ahead of a summit, it did not go well. People say nukes, but I think their security is a whole nother level, like our government rarely knows where those leaders are at a given moment.

People become more tribal under scarcity conditions and the scarcity is largely artificial.

The United States has negotiated "Pax Silica" so that it doesn't need Taiwan for chips....

I guess they would just kidnap, I mean "capture", the president of Taiwan to be charged in their courts. No need to invade, it's just "law enforcement" without a warrant like what Trump is doing now.

She will say this is the war to end all wars or some BS like that. Words mean nothing to these people.

Low key yes. So many Americans have this "well it doesn't affect me" attitude.

Teflon Don, like Epstein, collected pictures of powerful people doing "embarrassing" things. Unlike Epstein he didn't use a private island, he used hotels that catered to people with power.

And pax silica will lessen the geopolitical fallout by ensuring there is fab redundancy outside of Taiwan.

It's not even profitable though... At this point it seems it is just about control, like they would rather have a money pit then let independent workers, ie creatives, have any profit.

I do wonder if they had a referendum whether this war would have been avoided. Maybe I'm just being idealistic but even if Crimea had voted to stay with Ukraine then that would have at least gone a long way to show it isn't simply the will of the hegemon. Or if Crimea had voted to go independent then the international community could create a new security agreement.

Yes, that is good of China to not act like the USA. Which is why it is concerning when they start to act like a more competent version of the USA.
