“Maybe some auto maker ought to have the balls to make an old fashioned engine and car”
Can you spell EPA?
Our car problem is USA Democrats.
The rest of the world has reliable vehicles that don’t need “Chips”.
All our cars do.

Looking over the horizon, if China invades Taiwan and the U.S. destroys the chip plants, just what would the Chi-Com response be? I see lots of dead people on our shores. Do you think they’re just going to sit back and take it? Naive to the Nth power.

Biden and Arizona Democrats are trying to take credit for it, of course, but it has been in the planning stages for a long time.

I can’t see Biden authorizing this. He is too compromised.

Yes, the US would surely do it.

The names of the most important chip plants are:

Nordstream Chip Fab 1 and
Nordstream Chip Fab 2.

Neo Cons say that, but I doubt if the Biden Team even has the nerve ( or the will!) to do something they know China will not like at all.

Besides, there would be a great deal of
collateral damage, with innocent Taiwanese citizens perishing from this destruction. That would beget a new generation of angry Taiwanese young men with an ax to grind against the USA because we ‘killed his Grandpa back in 2023’.

“The U.S. would destroy Taiwan’s chip plants if China invades, says former Trump official”

What if they work with China for a PEACEFUL re-unification?

Would we STILL blow up their chip plants?

After all, we blew up Nordstream when Germany started making noises about a PEACEFUL end to the Ukraine War.

I wish they would/could.

My 1995 Buick got better mileage than my 2008 Buick. Same model. Makes no sense.

Russia makes cars sans chips. You don’t need all these gizmos to make a car go.

Semafor - whose main funding came from Sam Bankman-Fried (with his Alameda Hong Kong connections) plus Semafor connections to CCP:

Naive? No sir, not me.

But them having that in their control, would be equally, if not worse. I tend to lead towards worse.

Like I said, moving that technology there to begin with was the stupid move. For now it creates an untenable situation when threatened. There's no good choices, only bad ones.

Now I learned they are building a facility in Phoenix, Az. But it will not be operational until 2025, which may be too late.

Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. We may all pay for that treasonous act.

All of that I agree with 100%

δΈ­ can be either/and/or Middle or Center, it just depends on the context. δΊΊ is the kanji for person, and ε›½ is country (or state/nation).

Does any sentient being in the multiverse believe anything this daughter-showering, child sniffing, bar exam failing, lying, and totally single digit- IQ turd says?

Feb 7, 2022WASHINGTON β€” President Joe Biden on Monday said the U.S. would β€œbring an end” to the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline if Russia invades Ukraine.
β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”-
What is disgusting is the lack of outrage from Americans and members of the EU. The US commits an act of war against NATO countries! The US has lost all sense of morality and justice.
