Jesus fucking Christ, we fucking heard you the first dozen times. For fuck's sake. Find a new shtick.
I think the US would get involved as a matter of national security, if for no other reason than to protect TMSC, and its outsized effect on our transportation sector.
Oh yah that is a valid point, TSMC, it is something that I missed on top of my head but thank you for reminding me on that issue.
But I have another thought perhaps you can give me some inputs.
The reason why I don't see Americans intervening in Taiwan is this, to China Taiwan is a core issue, to Americans Taiwan is a peripheral issue.
Ok let's take it this way that America will help Taiwan repel China.
They can win the first time, second time , third or even fourth time because the Chinese military at the moment pales in comparison to the United States but it will never end.
So the contrast between the two in regards of National interest is very different. If I were the American Government, I know that I will go in the first time round and beat them one or two or three times but they will come back, and they must come back because it is a core issue.
I think as much as the America government mouth piece or media says yes we will help Taiwan such and such , but in their minds they have already made their calculations.
Hope for some input from you .
