I used to think that the world would be protected against a Taiwan invasion due to the interconnected nature of the US/EU/China economies. Yet another destabilizing/enshittifying act of the current US regime. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/technology/taiwan-china-chips-silicon-valley-tsmc.html?unlocked_article_code=1.OlA.NXTg.lmrVH1DzRoMH
