While we’re essentially all in agreement that war between the US and China is inevitable, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how that conflict might progress if Taiwan ends up not being the main flashpoint
I feel like we all just assume that there’s gonna be a war for Taiwan because we’ve been so inundated with western propaganda about the evil see see pee frothing at the mouth to invade the poor lil smol bean imperialist forward operating base, but I don’t necessarily think it’s a foregone conclusion
A lot of people with more knowledge of the situation than me have already discussed at length the probablity of a direct military conflict over Taiwan, but regardless of its perceived likelihood, I’m curious as to how y’all think the US-China proxy war (I’m assuming proxy because a direct military confrontation would just equal nuclear annihilation and that’s boring) would unfold if the Taiwan issue doesn’t go hot in the near future
Would the blob desperately flail around trying to manufacture a crisis in Taiwan anyway? Would they be willing to go as far as some kinda soft coup if Taiwanese leadership isn’t sufficiently hawkish? Or would they look for another flashpoint entirely? Is there any room for them to escalate existing tensions between China and any of its regional rivals like Japan or occupied Korea, or even something goofy like Australia? How might such a conflict play out considering that would presumably be of a much greater scale than the PLA invading one small island province?
