That's pretty much a given. But what about that is "heating things up with China"?

In the case of Taiwan, I also think they might get involved, unless we managed to create alternative production hubs for the chips. And that if the chips are not a topic amymore, the US would just watch and say they feel sorry.

But I tend to agree with @Cynic's comment in that the US seem to get involved in conflicts when it benefits them more than when it benefits the greater good.

Ah yeah no I also don't think that

Of course not. But I also don't think every international conflict is puppeteered by western forces.

Would you defend that wars led by the US are solely to defend the weak and promote democracy and equality @corrupt ?

Always trust Cynic to be there with the weird anti-western conspiracy therories. Never disappoints.
