Yep. Just a matter of when and if he has to destroy Taiwan or not to do it. Which is why the West has to show a backbone now to delay that action.Xi is going to move on Taiwan regardless of our response.
Taiwan used to make a lot of our chips. I recall looking at circuit boards back in the 80's and it seemed like 75% were stamped Taiwan. We have so forked ourselves by outsourcing everything known to man that China could cut us off tomorrow and we would self-destruct in 5 years.Yep.

Your further just shut up and accept it attitude is noted however. Hell it’s your standard response![]()
Taiwan makes more semiconductors today than it did in the 80’s. The US actually still had a lot of onshore foundries in the 80’s but all the catalog logic/digital and catalog analog had already moved to Taiwan.Taiwan used to make a lot of our chips.

Korea has a large presence now and it’s growing too
Being forced to fight by their invaders, yes I agree with that.I'm not willing to sacrifice Ukrainians, this could have been settled diplomatically but this is the fight the US/NATO wanted with Russia and they got it. Also, many Ukrainians don't want to fight and are being forced to fight.
Perhaps but it's obvious to many you have a blind spot in seeing what Putin's goals are and ultimately what that leads to.I'm not saying I have superior knowledge, but I don't think most of you have given any thought as to how this ends.
Oh i have given plenty of thought as how this ends. None of the outcomes are particularly pleasant. Maybe your main man Vlad should have thought that part through as well before he decided to cry havoc and loose the dogs of war.I'm not saying I have superior knowledge, but I don't think most of you have given any thought as to how this ends.
Likley some kind of poison, he is trying to kill those people. He doesn't want any left to tell what they saw. "No witnesses". No telling what it is, but I see no reason his new general would not unleash some hidden poison or another. He is going to want to make a statement.
