I've seen Taiwanese making petty preparations for an invasion, Taiwanese soldiers complaining about poor equipment, insufficient ammunition and poor leadership and Taiwanese citizens and politicians criticizing the U.S. instead of China.

A nuclear war is not inevitable in Ukraine because the U.S. isn't a combatant. But I do believe this conflict could easily spiral out of control and lead to a nuclear confrontation between Russia and NATO.

If the U.S. were to intervene in Taiwan it would mean a direct confrontation between two nuclear armed powers which, as I claimed before, will inevitably lead to an all-out nuclear exchange.

Def see where you are coming from but why wouldn’t it just be another proxy war ala currently in Ukraine or previously in Vietnam or Korea?
