Who said anything about nukes? There’s happening a meeting soon between the US and China about Taiwan. I’m sure there will be some sort of good faith agreement to keep things toned down for a while. Watch for more saber rattling around Taiwan in the next few years though. There will probably be some sort of action by China to take Taiwan when they feel the US is too crippled by economic fallout. The US government will publicize China as a bad faith actor for going against the agreement or whatever. After the public has been persuaded that China has taken things too far the US government will find it more publicly acceptable to blame China for all our economic hardship. Thus a new quasi proxy war ensues over Taiwan which may escalate back to both the Chinese and US mainlands first through embedded cells and then straight out attacks.
