    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.

      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.

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

    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.
