    The blockade also makes for a much thinner justification to intervene militarily as it would be clear that it is US that is the aggressor as opposed to coming to the rescue of Taiwan as they spun it with Ukraine.

    Come now, they’ve managed to whitewash literal Nazis with Nazi insignia and swastikas tattoos. How hard can it be to spin a blockade breach as some sort of “humanitarian intervention against ebil CCP who are starving the brave people of Taiwan”?

      Oh I don’t think it’ll stop US from getting involved, but they’re going to have even harder time getting other countries on board than they have with Russia.

        I’m more concerned about the situation spiraling out of control and leading to a Big War. I’m not sure if the USA government is delusional enough to think it will be winnable, but it won’t matter if we’re all going to die

          Yeah that’s my biggest worry as well. These things have a habit of spinning out of control, and it might get to the point when events take on a life of their own. US regime has a dangerous delusion that they can control chaos as opposed to being swept up in it along with everyone else.
