it does feel kind of like: place your bets. new years? january sometime? washington has blammed their access to semiconductors to be stuck at ten years ago. washington has just jammed through a long-term aid package before control of congress turns over to the wildlife, and beijing has puffed up as if they didn't know washington did this because do it now it likely won't happen; that ten billion is a very vague longterm thing that was cobbled together in a hurry due to political realities.
but, no, omg, capitalist pig-dog escalating, we must fighter jet all over the neutral zone. then you get into the logistics, that all this aid is authorized, but it still has to get there, and that's kind of slow. that if they went in on taiwan now the US would struggle to get what it's already promised there in a timely manner, and the chinese can only occupy themselves so long building islands out of human excrement to extend their naval clams. i was nervous they'd really shine it on and do something dec 7, and thankfully they did not. my current concern is new years -- western capitalist pig-dog new years -- after congress flips over and paralysis sets in; the aid still slowly sailing in over thousands of miles
and, really, if taiwan said, "fuck, yeah, we want to be part of china," i would be sad, but it's their choice. but they're not saying that and china is essentially trying to declare an alternate reality, like their poop islands, and though it's a deeply worrying gambit for them... odds may just get worse from here on out. and that's why i worry.
i also half wonder if they're just rolling their eyes; letting covid clear out their economically useless elderly population to tighten things up. win-win, yes?
