    If China attacks Taiwan as America/Israel waste all their interceptors…

    There’s nowhere on the planet that would be able to stop Iran or China in a war.

    The entire western hemisphere relies on Taiwanese chips for weapons including interceptors.

    Even just a chip embargo similar to Iran is doing with oil would be disasterous.

    And incredibly likely now that everyone is distracted.

      the US just moved their detection radars and anti-messile systems from east asia to help israel war. And also lifted all oil sanctions from Russia

      And who would step up to make the chips instead… Why our good friend DJ Trump. Just think of the kickbacks and the bargaining power.

    I think China is just trying to wait Trump out but probably getting angrier at everything he does. I could be wrong but I think they’ll wait until they’re on top and Taiwan wants to join willingly.

    That said the way China’s modernising their military and churning out everything from hybrid Tanks, ships and jets it’s almost like they are in world war 3 already.

    The best time to do a move in Taiwan, i feel, would right after the Us midterms; When either GOP looses a lot of seats or trump nullifies the elections; causing a lot of civil unrest. The question is if Iran would hold up until November/December.

    Taiwanese ADIZ violations are a dime a dozen. Doesn’t seem like an escalation, just back to normal.
