no ramblings about making it the (checks notes… canada, greenland, panama…) 54th state, either.

Is it already time for “just a training exercise” v2?
At this point I’d fully expect Trump to demand Taiwan hand over the chip factories if they expect help.

I mean from the DPP’s perspective, that wouldn’t be a bad move. 100% chance the US’s “defense” of Taiwan consists of sacrificing as many locals as possible to make the war as long and expensive as possible for the PRC, while ensuring anything of value, including workers and factories, is destroyed.
If they handed the factories over, the US might make a meaningful effort to protect the island.
