So what? You have not offered any compelling reason why I should care. The US debt is worthless...we know the dollar is going to nosedive. Yes, China makes everything and they will continue to do so. Why would they stop? It would hurt them as much as it would hurt me. The occupation govt. in DC just sent $100 billion to Ukraine....most of that money is going back into the pockets of congress slimes who have invested in military stocks. Any war in Taiwan will just plunder more of American people. Maybe "you wrong?"
95% of the chips we use in EVERYTHING are made in Taiwan. Trump had plans going forward that would have changed that, but Biden cancelled them. China takes Taiwan, they will have us in an absolute economic and military stranglehold. And not just us, but our regional allies. Unlike Ukraine, where there is no prevailing interest for the US whatsoever and Ukrainian oligarchs are stealing 80% of what we send them (in both money AND weapons), the US has a major and abiding interest in protecting Taiwan. The Chinese take Taiwan, and we even lose the capacity to make the weapons we need to protect us and our interests. And they are most likely to invade or blockade Taiwan while Biden is president and right after Xi gets reaffirmed as CCP chairman in a couple of months. You think we have problems now? Let them take Taiwan, and cut us off from computer chips, and then watch the US economy COMPLETELY collapse.
ukranian oligarchs are rich people like everywhere they would grab whats in their site, no different. stop badmouthing.
pelosi changed the tide, she brought it to the attention of world community. trump had a chinese bank account, his grandsons (ivanka's kids) are fluent in mandarin and learned chinese before english ... stop following midnight tweets.
George Webb has the goods on Ukraine, Kolomoisky and his puppet Zelensky who both happen to love their Azov battalion, Burisma (along with the Bidens) and all that cash flowing in. This is beyond partisan politicking.
China has never come close to 12 or 24 miles of Taiwan. Taiwan rhetoric is mostly to get its people to support massive tributes to its US MIC colonizers via arms purchases and to surrender its sovereignty in a trade agreement
Who gives a flying two shits about Pelosi? She is a crook that has enriched herself at the expense of the American people. You think what she did was honorable? Why are we even involved with Taiwan's issues? Let them work it out. I do not care. Look at Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Korea, etc. Why are we involved with other nations? Again you have not offered any compelling reasons...
We have ZERO US interest in Ukraine. But if Taiwan falls, we have no more computer chips coming into the country. It is the quickest and easiest way to 100% destroy the US economy. Think we got problems now? Let Taiwan fall. You aint seen NOTHING yet!
And you know we used to make computer chips before our government allowed it all to be outsourced overseas. Maybe we need to start manufacturing again? Like I said, we should not be dependent on a country half way around the world.
I think the Bidens, Clintons, deep state and globalist shills would beg to differ regarding Ukraine, but agreed on Taiwan. This is what happens when they outsource EVERYTHING for profit for the few.
Trump had programs in place to build plants to make chips in the US again. Biden cancelled them. Probably at the suggestion of his CCP masters. They know what will happen to the US if they stop the flow of chips. If they take Taiwan it will be a sword of Damacles held over our heads. And if they decide to cut off the supply of chips... we are well and truly f*cked!
Pandelis. I agree with most of what you wrote and I am sick of the US waging war all over the world. On the other hand it’s in no one’s interest if China expands.
Let Taiwan fall and the US economy (in fact, the industrial world's economy) gets completely destroyed. There is no quicker way to do it than to lose Taiwan.... essentially the single source of the world's computer ships (right at 95%). Without them, we make no cars, appliances, weapons, communications devices, etc. China will have a stranglehold on the entire industrial world... not just the US. Your problems if Taiwan falls will become one Helluva lot bigger than they are now... and it won't take all that long to happen.
And WHY is it that one country is making all the chips? Duh? So your solution is to risk war with China and send more American boys to die for no good reason so you can get your next iPhone?
I don't own an iPhone. And one country is making all the chips because Biden put an immediate stop to Trump's plan to again begin chip production in the US... likely because his Chinese masters told him to. And keeping the US economy from total collapse is hardly "no good reason". It isn't just about iPhones. It's about virtually everything that currently holds up Western economics. That's not just with us... it's with out allies as well. Including energy development and distribution, food production and distribution, medical care, weapons development and production, communications (I'm talking about systems... not individual iPhones.) Our entire Grid is computerized. As are rail systems. As are air traffic. As is the military to an astounding degree. Cut off the flow of chips, in less than a year we'll be back in the stone age, and probably at a cost of several million lives in the aggregate. Your ignorance of what the effect of having chips cut off would be is absolutely astounding!
Dude...I am in the IT industry...my entire job relies on CPU chips and memory chips, etc. Our government, that we pay for, purposely and willingly allowed our chip technology to be sold and jobs and manufacturing outsourced so that companies can make more money to pay their CEO's gluttonous amounts of money. We sold off our competitive advantage...it is gone. But your solution which is (I think) to protect Taiwan from China so we can have chips puts our children on the line to die. 55K died for nothing in Vietnam. I know a lady who lost her son in Iraq...he died for nothing. I am sick and tired of having our future dying for what? If we end up going back to the Stone Age, so be it. We need to learn that we fucked up so we will not repeat it. Sending someone's kid to die is not the solution. We have done that for decades and where has it gotten us? Would have a better solution been to take that $100 billion we sent to Ukraine to reduce college costs for STEM majors? Get our future back into sciences? What about taking that money and cutting all the OSHA BS and red tape so companies can be competitive again? Instead, it is WAR WAR WAR.
you wrong. it has everything to do with you. after all china holds most of your debt and they produce everything you have. how doesnt this has nothing to do with you??
Do you get the sense that the democrats will
Are willing to start WW 3 just to avoid getting
TKO d at the midterms?
Or is it just another means of killing the carbon
Useless eaters who actually just trying to lead
Normal lives in a zany time?
Lots of Republicans visiting Taiwan, not just Pelosi. Pompeo coming for a 2nd time in September
Good news

China will really control the semiconductor market if it takes Taiwan.
TSMC would be reduced to rubble by Taiwan before China could take it. China knows this
Well that would really screw us as we rely on their chips.

You can give. I won't. That's just the way it is.
China has never come close to 12 or 24 miles of Taiwan. Taiwan rhetoric is mostly to get its people to support massive tributes to its US MIC colonizers via arms purchases and to surrender its sovereignty in a trade agreement
nancy pelosi was a brave women to go to taiwan against wishes of chinese gov.
she gave hope for change to taiwanese people!!

Like I said. Trump had it in the works to make chips here again. Biden cancelled it.
okay genius, none knew that much. vote trump - he will fix it this time.

hellooooo ... taiwan has already fallen .... awake up ....
I hope you aren’t serious.
I am serious about everything I wrote. Pray tell me where I am wrong...
Pandelis. I agree with most of what you wrote and I am sick of the US waging war all over the world. On the other hand it’s in no one’s interest if China expands.
Something is either screwed up with me, my phone, or Substack. It’s Matt07924 I agree with and not pandelis.
My reply was meant for pandel
My opinion for what it is worth...let them fight it out. It has nothing to do with me. I have enough problems here in my own life.

you wrong. it has everything to do with you. after all china holds most of your debt and they produce everything you have. how doesnt this has nothing to do with you??
China holds less than 1 trillion, we owe 30 trillion, mostly to ourselves
They do produce a lot of what we need, but Taiwan produces a lot of what they need to provide it to us
