      really helpful piece by @jonst0kes about the chip fab situation and Taiwan i have been thinking that the military aspect of a Taiwan invasion whether successful or unsuccessful is much less important than the downstream non-military impacts and this is reinforcing that beliefhttps://twitter.com/jonst0kes/status/1382145837384499200 …

      questions coming to mind 1. how does the US respond economically to an invasion, successful or not 2. how does the rest of the world respond economically 3. what are major shifts in diplomatic configuration, probably affecting (1-2) 4. how does this affect china's stability

      it _feels_ likely to me that china invading taiwan freaks a lot of people out and there's a massive splintering of the global trade order that isolates china and crushes the global economy for a decade, in china most of all low confidence bet but

          The thrust of the thing though is if we all went the autist route and only cared about long term economic outlook there'd basically never be wars, but history has proven Friedman's McDonald's thing a fallacy. War is probably more fought for cultural reasons more than anything

          And we know what China's cultural posturing has been for decades now. Might not be today, might not be tomorrow, but the party is going to want to assert it's validity eventually
