      In light of the renewed bipartisan political support for US military intervention in a Taiwan conflict, how should the US rebuild its military-industrial manufacturing capability and reactivate its wartime draft system so that, if a war between China and Taiwan were to break out, the US could muster enough material and manpower assets to send to the front lines in Taiwan to, in cooperation with the Taiwanese military, beat back the initial momentum of a full-out PLA invasion, and fortify the island of Taiwan to deter further waves of PLA reinforcements in what would likely be a high-attrition warfare?

      This is truly a question that geostrategists and policy makers have to ask themselves in light of the deteriorating geopolitical stability around the world, the rise of irredentist powers threatening the current Rules-based International Order, the return of 19th-century style great power competition, and the demise of the post-Cold War peace dividend, as grim and daunting as the answer may be. And time may not be on the side of both Taiwan and the US, as Chinese President Xi Jinping has ordered the PLA to achieve combat readiness for an invasion of Taiwan as early as 2027.

      The USA can’t build one fighter or ship to ship missile without Chinese rare earths

      Oh… look at that… growing prospects of a major international war that will erode the world order and probably lead to continued suffering for millions…

      if trump steps in, it would only be because he wants to go head-to-head with Xi. No specific principle or moral standing to do so.

      We’ve abandoned Ukraine. Taiwan doesn’t have a better argument

      One big issue nowadays many countries considering themselves U.S allies is that they treat U.S somehow like parents that would unconditonally offer help without first weighing whether or not it is worth it, simply because some geopolitical strategic values. This is one big fairy tale. Allies are allies. It is still different from territory. And, there is no perpetual enemies or friends, only benefit persist.

      The truth is if you want help, show that you are worth it when the shit really goes bad. Even only viewing fron the practicality perspective, you can’t be too weak to give your ally time to react. The support to Ukraine from NATO and EU only flooded in after they effectively resisted Russian’s initial blitzkreig-wannabe by themselves. Same thing for Taiwan, Philippines, Japan, and other countries that face an all-in war threats from China. They need to get ready to hold on for a week or so. At least the large chunk of their arm force should still exist after the first 48 hours of non stop carpet bombing of ICBM, long range rocket, artillery bombardment, drone swarm attack. All these countries are way smaller. So it is way more challenging.Specifically for Taiwan, if U.S had not intervened Taiwan’s nuclear weapon plan in 1970s, things would have been way more different.

      Also, there have been at least three generations of people in these countries who have not experienced wars while their education system does not constantly input specific hatry towards specific regions or countries like China does in their history and politic education. Their actual reaction to life threatening explosions of bombs might be really different from how they comment online to news. Meanwhile, you will see a lot of war zaelots from China when such wars happens. This also make a big difference between China and Russia

      It’s sad that we’re at a point where people talk about military intervention like it’s an easy solution. But maybe rising support shows fear, not confidence, fear that war might be closer than we think

      What if the whole rush on CPUs, ram, etc. was really a build up by the government in anticipation of a conflict and A.I. data center construction was simply a pretext?
