minus-squareTriasha@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·5 days agoThe odds just got higher. If China goes for Taiwan, and the US goes all out to defend them, I’m willing to say thats it, WW 3. It won’t be as cinematic as the second, but that’s my line.

minus-squareTriasha@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 days agoCorrect, if the US goes after China, that would also be ww3.
minus-squareCalfpupa [she/her]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoYep, just trying to adjust framing to realistic scenarios
minus-squaremr_anny@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 days agoUS would help Taiwan just as much as Russia is helping Iran. They are tied to elswhere atm. We all know what happens to countries trying several fronts at once. War is about logistics, logistics and logistics. Remote wars bring more logistics in play. And they are burning munitions fast in Iran.
minus-squareTriasha@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 days agoIf China invaded now, the US would help Taiwan as much as we are helping Ukraine. We could defeat China in a few months by blocking the Malacca straight. Unless Xi cut a deal with Trump.
