NATO membership was unpopular in both Finland and Sweden until Putin openly attacked Ukraine last March.

Also, let's remember Josh Hawley voted not to permit Finland to join. The Senate vote was 95-1.

To be fair, Hawley literally votes no to everything proposed bipartisan, anyone on a cabinet or by Biden/Dems. Anti-Asian hate bills, anyone joining NATO, etc.

Finland now officially in NATO, with Sweden to follow once we bribe Erdogan sufficiently.

I for one will enjoy welcoming Georgia, Ukraine, and the Republics of Karelia, Novgorad to NATO.
 
Here's what I don't get about China and Taiwan right now- from what I read, what China thinks they want are the chip making technology. But I really don't see China forcibly taking Taiwan getting that. The chip makers are working hard to diversify and get the some of the tech off the island, which means that IF there is any force, it would be largely trivial to completely destroy all of the chip making tools that China wants.

As for the smart people, I can't see that it would be that hard to evacuate them, immediately. And if that fails, they would be dead, anyway.

So other than taking land that they think has been theirs for the entire time of the communists, what do they get out of doing it?

Seeing the world attitude against the Soviets, it should be clear that everyone can make the break economically. It will be harder to do that with China, but thanks to The China Flu, those steps are starting. And in the end, China will be just as isolated as they were in the 80s. Just like the USSR.

China's power is in trade, not force. And they are far better off, economically, letting the US waste money on unused arms.
 
We are trying to make China into an existential threat to justify running the war economy we started during the Cold War and which has now outlived its usefulness for 30 years (and made me rich).

It is a testament to the incredible stability and profitability of the New Deal Economy that we have now actively been trying to bankrupt the US and destroy the productivity of our people by siphoning off all of our wealth from investing in people to larding the accounts of the useless upper class since 1981, and our economy is still strong.

FDR's mixed socialism is the greatest economic force in world history. If we can just roll back the last 40 years, restore it, and then stick with it this time, America will be a f-cking paradise for 99.99% of its people.
