Geopolitical experts (we have many!) - why is Taiwan like the only place that can make semi conductors?

I heard it's because they're tiny bug people it's easier for them to work at such a small scale.

They certainly aren't the only place that can, they just are the main place that does currently.
They government invested a ton of money in the 80s and they've had a leg up on a lot of countries since. Something like 50% of all chips are made there.
Does Elon 'Faggot' Musk say we should let China take them over?

Do you know how hard it is to get semiconductor manufacturing plants into the city?

I’m not sure how we’d stop them, tbh. I also think China’s claim over Taiwan is more valid than ours at starting a world war to defend it, but what do I know? War is good! Perpetual war is awesome! They’re basically Voldemort and we’re Harry Potter anyway.

Should the world just let China and Russia take over any country they want?
20 years ago faggot republicans would love invading everyone. It's wild that Trump has been financed by Russia for decades and retards love him so much they now like Russia. Weird shit.

Why should we get involved? If it’s a moral argument why didn’t those countries attack us when we illegally invaded all those countries and massacred millions of women and children?

This is why "South Korea" exists (recording of one of the discord J's in the vc, which I guess NoBacon is now acclimating himself with):
The USA created little gilded cages and called it "Japan, South Korea, Taiwan...and West Europe" but they're still cages and the prison warden is the US State Dept.
Why are their semiconductor manufacturers only in Taiwan? Because the US decided it. It will dismantle it before it falls into the hands of the PRC though.

I'm not saying we should but geopolitics 101 says if you're at the top you should try to stay there. Why defend China's potential takeover of Taiwan or Russia taking Ukraine?

They should either fully commit to helping Ukraine win the war or pull out and broker peace. This half-assed proxy war is only hurting people.
China should probably just be bombed.

I think the claim of the people who actually live on Taiwan is more valid than that of the CCP.
"Why would the US defend a country it has a major economic and strategic interest in, an alliance with and whose people are asking it to?"
I don't think we'll ever know the answer to this one, fellas.

Trying to stay at the top through competition is fine, trying to stay at the top by starting wars, or placing sanctions all over the place, isn't. It's not that China and Russia are good and the US and NATO are bad, it's that the rest of the world is simply tired of us using our global system to bully and pound everyone else into submission. Washington also won't accept the fact that it's Empire is totally unsustainable. We don't have the money, the infrastructure nor the will to be the policemen of the World anymore, countries like Russia and China have offered, time and time again, to work with us in the new world where America isn't the top dog anymore, and our elite have simply thumbed their noses at the offers. If arms dealers want to sell weapons to Ukraine or Taiwan to defend themselves, fine, that's how the game has always been played, but the taxpayers of America and Europe are paying for the military equipment, AS WELL as paying for the salaries and healthcare of government workers in Ukraine, when that money is needed here at home now more than ever.
