    That's why I think they'd do it last. Taiwanese unification as far as I can tell would only be for ideological purposes. Russia invading Ukraine is a more pressing issue because it presents real material benefit

      how is neutralizing a US forward base not a material benefit?

        The USA has many bases in the region. Wouldnt reduce capabikity enough.

        Not saying it wouldn't be good but why risk full scale war?

        The cost benefit of that only swings positively if you think the US is incapable of real retaliation. Which is why I think the western response to Russia sacking Ukraine would be the determining factor. The US needs a Suez Canal crisis first
