All of Donald Trump’s previous defense lawyers blink in surprise
What are we, the protection racket? Defend the nerd from the bully and then demand the lunch money for ourselves? FFS, can nobody be good for the sake of what’s right and won’t without expectation of a return?
America never did it because it was right. That’s a happy side effect. It did it as its in its own interest. Just like with israel, which now leads to Palestinian genocide. They aren’t moral decisions being made.
So Trump is making it seem like it will save the USA money but it won’t. It will cost much more in the long run. I wodner how many Chinese votes will be won and lost, or other Asian votes, knowing it risks destabilizing the region.
This really shows how clueless this “businessman” is about business. Imagine China invades in Taiwan. About any business in the electronic sector will go down hard. Really hard. All over the world.
I guess we don’t know the motivation for the last shooter’s actions. But I’m pretty sure he’s going to get himself whacked sooner or later.
Alternate headline: Crusty old man grossly underestimates the sheer importance of advanced semiconductors
He’s sabotaging the West on purpose.
Anything to help his daddy putin.

So people are making impersonation accounts now.
I’m surprised it took this long to be honest
Let Taiwan and their super fucking important chip factories fall into adversary hands and see how that works out.
It will work out just fine, having 1 single country provide the world with everything. What could possibly go wrong?
There are companies and governments trying to put this right at the moment, but chip manufacturing capacity is very slow to set up. It requires very expensive, specialized and uncommon equipment and highly qualified specialist staff who are not easy to find or quick to train.
“The adversary”
Yeah. They make a huge percentage of the world’s high-end chips. A military takeover would leave us shoveling piles of money at China or, more likely, the fabs would be destroyed and suddenly every computer or product that uses a computer to create it (read: all of them) shoots up in price for the next decade.
And that is just the immediate effects. The downstream effects of the US no longer providing security would likely lead to swift nuclear proliferation as that is the only way such a small country can hope to protect itself if no larger country is willing to stick their neck out for them.
Next you’ll be wondering where all the American soft power went, except I bet you’re too dumb to know what soft power is
Maybe Taiwan should just sell their chips at way higher price to America ♻️
Does he think Taiwan sends us a bill or something?
…
That’s exactly what he thinks, isn’t it?
He thinks the US sends them a bill and they don’t pay.
He’s very transactional.
A bit ironic as he never pays for things either.
It’s always projection.

Does Donny know where the processor of the phone that he posts all his verbal vomit comes from?
No more free supply?

He should pay for his own defense

Taiwan will just say American corporations should pay more for those precious chips to fund it’s defense
Why is it only American corps that have to find it’s defense?
