Is that the new ASML TwinScan NXE ultra-Deep-UV photolithography machine they’re emplacing?

I hear they have over 300 confirmed kills.

What can a seal team do about a country invading other country?

The US military has been preparing for a Taiwan invasion for at least the last 10 years and they are convinced it will happen by 2030, so I guess we’ll see – it’s really China’s move.

Seems like we’d need a whole lot more than seal team 6 if the world’s second largest military attacked one of our key allies.
Edit: as many people have pointed out it’s likely to destroy chip factories so they don’t get into the hands of the PRC. Which makes sense. I would think,though, that we’d probably be obliged to defend taiwan, but maybe not.

At that point it’s nuclear war so nothing really matters tbh.

I’m sure they plan for a lot of potential invasions. Let’s just hope it doesn’t happen.

If Taiwan gets invaded the world is not coming to help.

I grew up around Seal team 6 guys. They are not normal – in a way you want – as long as they are on your side.

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be hell. There is a pretty significant open water distance between the two. China doesn’t have the most capable navy and Taiwan is fortified. It will be like the modern day version of the storming of Normandy beach, except the intel won’t be missing.
It would be a difficult and drawn out operation with huge losses for both sides.

Do we think if trump wins this election he cares about defending Taiwan?

Ohh… so they’re in Ukraine you say?

China’s largest weak point if Taiwan holds out for a while is its reliance on energy imports especially petroleum, but China’s been very good about reducing petroleum consumption while also greatly expanding its strategic petroleum reserve. It’d be nice if China could be chill and move to EVs, mass transit, and solar power just because it’s cool.

China isn’t doing shit. Their economy is on the brink of collapse with significant disasterous issues in multiple areas. Their trade surpluses are shrinking every year. They saw what global sanctions did to the Russian economy. The CCP needs global stability now more than ever. They want Taiwan, but they can’t afford to put everything on the line for a complicated war that requires them to travel 100 miles over water to even hit ground. Think of what Ukrainian drones did to the Russian navy… now imagine Chinese warships and supply lines crossing open ocean and what Taiwan could do to them.

Taiwan needs nukes, not seals. Only way to actually prevent a warÂ

That’s crazy special forces units are training. I thought they’d just been chilling and playing topless volley ball the past 10 years.

It’s not simply about the foundries. Both sides have been posturing at this for quite a long time, with US military personally already stationed near China. I would imagine at this point it’s just as much about pride, and extending local influence. Espionage/research into chip manufacturing would be way cheaper then starting a costly war for China.Â

Nothing to see here. US military trains for most eventualities with Taiwan being one of the most obvious.

Does anybody have a realistic scenario on what will happen if China invade Taiwan? What’s the United States’ response?

Oh just tell the whole fucking world why don’t ya!!!?

I think the invasion is stalled for a while. They were counting on Russia selling Ukrainian grain to them cheap. They don’t make enough domestically to keep up with demand. They will need a lot more than cheap gas once the world shuts them out.

I hope an invasion never happens. The loss of life would be catastrophic

They watched Russia get away with it.
