Following his so-far unsuccessful attempt to lure Donald Trump back to Twitter, Elon Musk has opened the social media platform up to another once-banned far-right favorite: Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/elon-musk-reinstates-marjorie-taylor-greene-twitter-account-1234634659/

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would suck for the whole globe economically but would be especially disastrous for China - even if they 'succeeded' in their attempt at reunification. If Xi Jinping is a rational actor the consequences should be enough to deter him from acting, but is he and will he remain rational?

This Center for Strategic and International Studies report describes potential pre, active, and post conflict global impacts of China invading Taiwan.
