A possibility, sure, but I doubt a big one.

All these years people have been sounding alarms over Taiwan, and we never cross that line. China and Taiwan are so deeply linked economically, I think the odds are slim. I think our economic links run too deep still for US-China military hostilities to be a realistic possibility. The Chinese need our market more than we need theirs, and Trump's isolationism will have to be incredibly successful for some time to come before that changes.

If it changes, then I think war probably becomes more likely.

Farmers are losing the Trade War with China. ** -- Shenhoo 05/15/2019 09:07AM

It might be so much more profound than just American agriculture. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/15/2019 09:25AM

Your complaint should be with Trump, not Laz. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/15/2019 08:42AM
