This may also be a good time to ponder the 800 pound gorilla in the bunker (as it were).
We can even do this without chest thumping and propaganda. Think about the history of the USN from, well- pick one, 1800 or 1940 to the present day. Now, apply the same idea to the PLAN. The USN has a record of defeating near-peer powers. The PLAN has roughed-up fishing boats and pirates. Having new hardware doesn't mean that you know how to use it. |

Reports suggest the US is preparing to accelerate the sale of weapons and other military assistance to the self-governing island democracy, a move that will undoubtedly anger China

They must build more reserves in advance. Supplies will get caught up in the traffic jam once the party has started and turned hot.
Different to the Ukrainians, the Taiwanese will not already have the experience of several years of war fighting under their belt. China'S first blow also will be far more crushing than Russia'S was, Bejing has watched the ukriane war like we have, and it will take the lessons form it. Therefore, Taiwan will possibly suffer far higher losses in supplies and stored ammunitions and weapons in the first wave of attacks. Collect nuts, little squirrel, collect nuts. Winter's coming.

Even though I agree with her I wish she would stop meddling in other countries affairs.

WASHINGTON/PARIS (Reuters) -The longest shadows at the Group of Seven (G7) leaders' summit this week will be cast by two countries that weren't even invited to the Hiroshima gathering: China and Russia.
As the heads of the world's advanced democracies meet for three days from Friday in the western Japanese city, they will need to overcome some differences of their own, officials say, as they aim to project unity against challenges from Beijing and Moscow. Divisions within the G7 appear to be the most notable over China, multiple officials told Reuters, with countries grappling on how to warn against what they see as China's threat to global supply chains and economic security without completely alienating a powerful and important trade partner. The G7 countries -- the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Canada and Italy -- are all closely tied economically to China, the world's second-largest economy and a key global manufacturing base and market. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...ia/ar-AA1blQ8K

Here - or in the economy thread? Well, here.
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/16/i...ntl/index.html Warren Buffets praises TSMC - and sold all shares "due to certain other developments".

Don't try to read too much into what Warren does.
Here's one of his holdings in my town: https://locations.jimmyjohns.com/ia/...ches-1091.html Walking into a JJ's can be a bit of an experience. Try to pick out who is the Manager. Everyone's dressed in short sleeve business shirts and ties, mostly because ALL of the employees are managers- kind of. Their sandwiches are fine for the price but slightly underwhelming, almost like the sandwiches are not the point of what the sandwich shop does. Which is where it gets weird. The over-all vibe feels like you walked into a store that's run by a cult. At one time (possibly still) this was because all of the employees were entry-level acolytes for Warren's Business and Investing School. |

US President Joe Biden said Sunday that ties between Washington and Beijing should thaw "very shortly", after the United States shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon this year.
Biden said relations had deteriorated in the months following his talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit on the Indonesian island of Bali in November. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...ffebb2c2&ei=14

Speculations over the possibility of Taiwan joining the U.S. nuclear umbrella in the Indo-Pacific region have sounded alarm that the cross-strait tensions with China could lead to a nuclear conflict.
On May 22, Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu confirmed the island conducted talks on whether the U.S. would include Taiwan under its nuclear umbrella. While the minister did not reveal further details and denied wanting to join the nuclear umbrella, analysts believe it would create a strong deterrent for Taiwan against Chinese attacks.
