BS, you no anyone else knows what will or might happen. To pretend that you have some superior, or inside knowledge as to what would come next is laughable.

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.

Xi is going to move on Taiwan regardless of our response.

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.

Your further just shut up and accept it attitude is noted however. Hell it’s your standard response 🤡

A war with China would be a sea/air/missile/cyber war. They take out our GPS we're done.

Bingo. Time 0 day 1 we both shoot down the other guys nav satellites. Then we all operate in GPS denied environments. And we are not very good at doing that anymore.

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.

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.

Korea has a large presence now and it’s growing too

We are going to have to move the semiconductor industry back to the US or just wait for the Chinese embargo and the total destruction of our country.

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.

Being forced to fight by their invaders, yes I agree with that.

If it was a fight NATO wanted why did Russia start it? Is Putin a CiA plant? Or did he fall for their tricks?

Again you keep trying to shift blame away from those directly involved. It makes no sense to jump past the actual actors to go after someone on the sideline.

Russia wanted this fight because they wanted more land. This is proven by their actions over the last 8 years.
Ukraine wanted this fight because they want the Russians out of their territory.

Any argument that doesnt include those two, or really start with them, is biased BS. It's really humourous that you cant get past your boogey man to address the facts. Russia invaded Ukraine. It really doesnt matter why, Russia did it.

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, for one works rather deal with Putin glfrom a position of strength as opposed to one of weakness and desperation.

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.

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.

Someone always lives to tell the tale. I highly doubt they used poison gas.

Well, Putin is famous for two types of poison, I'm not looking thier names up rn, but one is radio active (can be put in drinks), the other is a nerve agent left over from past wars, it can be aerosolized, is my amateur understanding from past experiences.
