Nothing ever happens

honestly, as long as RFK is there

I have a lot of faith in shit getting done

if the cost of that is we genocide a few countries and fumble WWIII, oh well

I'm not that concerned about a war actually happening

So I don't really give that much of a shit about these picks

>he doesnt know

lol

I mean, it would be us just blowing up more shit in the middle east and sinking some ships in China

does national security advisor have a department?

it's not like there will be a war on American soil

Well yeah

the NSC Leg

there will never be one on american soil but china and taiwan shit will happen soon

a lot of these cabinet seats seem to have overlapping goals so I am not sure

true!

make Israel a US state and suddenly we get war on US soil

we need 10 different departments to manage the exact nuance of how we blow up foreigners

I have it on good authority than nothing ever happens

Therefore Taiwan isn't happening

I'm sorry

I think the open question is why and how much do we care about Taiwan

they're kinda only out ally to spite China, and when China moves to take the island back

we care because they have made it illegal to move the cutting edge nm scale processor tech off the island

someone (Trump) gets to decide how many Americans die as an ineffectual show of force

can I say it's their fault for joining the military, sure I'm not trying to baby them

But if that becomes a decade of hawkish bluster and anti-China fixation by retards

I'm going to be pissed

1) we don't need to be spending $$$ overseas 2) we don't need to feel that every self-interested foreign government is our mortal enemy

that's my position

now back to real politics

watch out @Phijkchu_Pikachu

we're releasing the Detroit reserves to come get you

lol

I am less mad about this than Trump selling the artifacts from the smithsonian

Stoner told me this so non-reliable, but doesn't Taiwan have a lot of materials for chips/processors

Its not just a lot of materials

they are the supply chain

Ok what i assumed but never looked into it

intel is scrambling to make fab shops so we are not 100% dependant on them

but that costs trillions and will take years

Yea, I figured the main reason we don't want China pulling a Ukrain was for the chips and not for muh freedom

The entire supply chain, as explained to me by Spooky, is taiwan, I think they go to the US, and the Netherlands makes a specific component

iirc

If China is taking Tiwan, they will scortched earth the factories which will set the world back probably 10 years on computing manufacturing

But it is better than China having 100% control over all technology

we really should have been preparing to make our own chips much sooner

As disappointing as some of his picks have been so far the border czar guy is actually great

the cia guy is my favorite personally
